Genealogy Moment

I have not posted a family history blurb in a long time. This is my Uncle Willard and Mike Hoffman. John Willard Cameron was born on 13 March 1887 and died 2 August 1974. He spent his entire life on the family farm in Mount Pleasant and died sitting in a rocking chair on the porch. He never had electricity, running water or indoor plumbing, not even a toilet. He wanted the house to remain as it had when the first Camerons and Riddles arrived by wagon train in Mt. Pleasant in the 1840s. Maybe that is why he never married. Our Aunt Illa (who was his niece and Grandma Carter's twin sister) lived with him on the farm and kept house for many years.
Gary Willard Maserang is named for Uncle Willard.
