William and Etna had 10 children:
Lucy (never married)
LeRoy
Clara (married Mark Chilson, also a lumberjack, 4 children: Lois, Roger, Hal, Larry)
Florence (married Arnold Klier, no children)
Bessie (married, no children, died age 27)
Jennie (possibly Jane or Genevieve [long, funny story]. She never knew her real first name, but went by Jane. Married Frederick Caddle, one child [me])
Willis (never married)
Clair (married, one daughter, but divorced and family never talked about it, second wife Judy)
Vera (married Knute Evjen, 5 daughters: Solveig, Andree, Annette, Mari, Marsha)
Myron (married Vadare ?, one child, Myra).
Grandpa and Grandma were born in Gouldsboro (Thornhurst) PA, and came to Potter County when they were first married. He owned a tract of lumber and later, operated a hotel, post office, and general store in Oleona PA (also listed as Cross Fork). The first 4 kids were born in the attic over the cook shack in the lumber camp. My mother was the first to be born in a real house. Grandma was small but mighty and made him build the house before mother was born. Later, they moved to Coudersport and lived there the rest of their lives. My cousin Myra owns the house now. Many, many memories!
