Notes:
Marlene Hickman notes:
This would be the grandson of Ellen and D Wilbert Douglas - As I typed it I was noting the same interests and connections he had to many of his Hickman cousins of the early 1900's generations....I wondered if they knew each other and if they were aware they were cousins......
