Letter from Mr. & Mrs. E.S. Kitterman to Mrs. Jordan (Brenda) Fischler (cont.)

getting his Masters degree. We went over on Oct lOth so as to be there for the occasion. They have two sons away from home in College.

In Mrs. Kitterman's family there were four boys and two girls. Her only sister Cora died in July 1959. An older brother Walter died last May lst at Le Mars, Iowa. There is one brother Gregg who lives at Le Mars, Iowa, and Fred who lives at Johnston City, Ill.; he lived in Iowa until 1957 when he moved to Ill. Another brother, Elmer J., lived in Chicago until he died in 1954; he was the youngest of the family. Fred has one daughter Shirley, Mrs. Harry Stevens of Laporte, Ind. Greg has two sons, Lauren at Peoria, Ill., and Gerry at Le Mars, and one daughter Mrs. Phil Kreig at Le Mars. Elmer had one son, John R. now living at Tucson, Ariz. ...In our family we have three - a son Ralph (Dr. R.D. Kitterman) pastor of the Methodist church at Webster City, la. and two daughters Dorothy (Mrs. B. Huard(?») at Alexandria and Laury's now Mrs. L.D. Boyer- her husband is the Methodist minister at Channabow, Ill. and she is teaching in the Channabow school.

When we were on our way to Ariz. in 1946 we stopped at Carlsbad Caverns in N.M. and our guide was a forrest ranger there; his name was Featherston and his home was in the east; he looked so much like Mrs. Kitterman's brother we felt sure he must be of the same family, but we didn't get to visit with him to find out. Mrs. Kitterman's grandfather, John C. Featherston, was a Civil War veteran -and served with the army of the South.

We would appreciate any information you can send us in regard to the family history.

Sincerely, , Mr. & Mrs. E.S. Kitterman
