Welcome back. I hope you are enjoying our latest series. At the beginning of the series, when I was talking about the town of Catharine I posted a list of founding fathers. Your job is to see how many of the people in this history are related to them as we go along.
There are several important cemeteries in Catharine Township where many of the founding fathers can be found. Instead of trying to post the list of those buried in these cemeteries I will instead insert links to them for your viewing pleasure.

Last time we looked at the immediate family of Mary F. Jones. Mary’s sister, Myrtle Stanley Jones married Edward Lovell (1917-8/10/1956). Ray, as he was called, was born and raised in Odessa. His father was a miller and when Ray was a boy he lived on Mill Street. Edward Ray Lovell was the son of Edward Ray Lovell (1894-1988) and Alice H. Howell (1898-1978). Ray senior served as Odessa post Master for a brief time in 1956, shortly after the death of his only son.
In 1940 Edward and Alice Edwards continued to live outside of Odessa on County Route 15 / Church Street in what was once the hamlet of Catharine. They were taking care of Alice’ retired parents, Horace and Ada (Lattin) Howell, and an elderly Uncle Fred Lattin formerly of California.
