E-mail from daughter of Helen Fenn. Helen was apparently a sister to Murray, but there is no clear evidence of who her mother might be.

It's Jim and Carol Buttram

Fruitland, ID 83619

Mom said that Murray had told her he was a ophan. So I do not know if his
parents are buried in Galatia Twp. Hope you have a nice weekend.

Dear Milly,

Sorry it took me so long to write. I have been quite busy with work. As
I now have a full time job.

Jerry is still alive and doing well so far. He was sick for a while,but
found out it was his medicine.

Mom goes and sees him every once and a while. But will not as it snows
alot where he is. I have not had much time to do much on the family
history. Is there anything new?

Got to go as I have to be at work here pretty soon.

Keep in touch.

Carol Buttram

Dear Milly:
My mother died last December a few days before Christmas. Murray died
exactly a month earlier. But on the 1930 census it was Jerry Durham who was
married to my grandmother they were married a year according to the census.
They lived next door to her mother.
Carol
****************************
Milly's interpretation: This means Jerry and Helen's mother were probably married in 1929.
Letters from Helen Fenn indicate that Murry and Anna were in assisted living facility in 2001. I have at least 3 letters from her. She says she was born in Texas on her birth certificate and her mother was born in Albany, Oregon.
