• Notes

  I called and spoke with Jayma Valentine again sometime around the endof 2010 or first month of 2011. At the time I was attempting tobetter account for and organize some of the 'Edward Drollingers' in mydatabase. So, I called to speak with Jayma again for some furtherhelp regarding her uncle Edward Bernard and her father's sister,Grayce Valentine, who was married to Edward. Back around August 2010(letter postmarked 19 Aug 2010) Jayma sent me three photos, one ofherself, one original of Edward Bernard Drollinger in a group photo ofhis newspaper associates and one original of Edward and Grayce thatJayma believed might have been their 35th wedding anniversary photo.She said they were mine to keep, that there were no heirs of Edwardand Grayce and therefore, nobody left alive that they would have anyreal meaning to. That was also one of the reasons I was contactingJayma again was to follow up with her regarding her generous gift ofthe photos since I had not yet done so since receiving them. I waswanting to also see if she had any additional information regardingthe details of the photos. She informed me the group photo wasprobably that of Edward's newspaper associates since he had been alongtime newspaper man. Jayma also provided the following informationto the best of her limited recollection: 1) Grayce was 18 years old when she married Edward "Eddie". 2) They lived in Canton, Ohio for many years, and is where Grayce metEdward. 3) They later lived in Winterhaven, Florida. 4) Grayce is buried somewhere in Winterhaven, FL. 5) Edward may be buried in Winterhaven, FL as well. 6) Grayce was probably born and raised in Canton, OH. 7) Edward was a longtime newspaper man and editor in Canton, OH. 8) Edward had heart disease, had had by-pass surgery and became a'cadiac cripple' mentally. 9) Jayma confessed she (herself) was a trained nurse. 10) Jayma's adoptive parents are Dewayne and Thelma Valentine and theywere married 25 Dec 1941. 11) Dewayne and Thelma legally adopted Jayma as a baby on 5 Nov 1950and that they had no other children. Jayma is a great gal and is always available to help me however shecan. Jayma's contact information is as follows: Jayma Valentine (not married) 6512 Markley Way Carmichael, CA 95608 916-965-7949 jayjoy14@att.net Adoption date: 11 Mar 1951 (Jayma was adopted by Dewayne Valentine andhis wife) (David H.
