 Historian Marjorie Shelton provided the family lineage. We are all descended from Phineas Culver,  our earliest known family member.

He is in public records in 1810. He may have come from Scotland or have been a descendant of Culvers from New York, but we do not know for sure.

 Each of the families introduced themselves and stated their lineages (with help from Marjorie).

 Mooreville Cemetery near Milan is where Phineas is laid to rest along with wife Electa, his son Jesse and Jesse's wife Polly.

A collection was taken for upkeep of the cemetery and $130.00 was donated to York Township.

 Election of Officers: The officers were re-elected

 Other notes: Jesse James asked Don Shelton to be a "Phone a Friend" on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. Unfortunately, Don was not called.

13 people approached Don stating they had seen Don listed on credentials of the show. Bernie Pepper discussed his recent barn loss due to fire.

Thankful that losses weren't greater.

 Joke time: Don Shelton and Bernie Pepper
