      (Note: The above information represents a partial excerpt. However, it is representative of the majority of information and the important and relevant aspects. It is in the form a photocopy that I believe my mother gave to me some time ago. In a space above the document printed from a typewriter are the following words: "Note: LaVerne here is some additional information mom had given me: Her mother's family, the Teftellers were originally from England. Her mother Cornellia Teftteller, went by the nickname of "Nelia".
      Her father's parents were Henry (?) Slate who married Sarah Roads. She believed them to be from Kentucky originally but they were married in Mansfield, Missouri. They had five children, Albert, Molly, Jim, Tom and John W. (your grandfather)". I believe these words were typed by LaVerne's sister-in-law, Sue Henley who was married to LaVerne's brother, Paul Henley.
      (The above document is in my possession and currently filed in a manila file folder titled, "Mom" (my mother, Reta LaVerne Henley). David H. Drollinger 27 Sep 2011)
