I am so sorry to learn of Joseph’s passing. I had E mailed him twice lately and no reply. Decided to do a search and found the obituary. He had E mailed me about his last vol. of genealogy on the Rhea family ready, but no info on price or ordering. I hate to use this way of communication, but no of no other way. I would appreciate price and how to order. I will share the information with others here who are interested. I am Ivan D. Lancaster, POB 128, Trafalgar, Indiana 46181-0128 and email is idl64@aol.com
