This is Richard Blanton who you spoke to last evening regarding your father. After you hung up, I found the 1930 & 1940 for him. Also, an obit for Virginia that lots of relationships mentioned. The biggest thing are several articles in the Pottstown Mercury newspaper . . . two of which contain info you definitely want if you don't already have it.

I'll try to call on Thursday in case this doesn't make it to you.

AGED 107!

If longevity were hereditary, O’Neil Camaho, 881 River road, North Coventry, would be assured of over a century on this earth. Camaho’s parents, who live on an Oklahoma Indian reservation, have passed the KM) year mark with ease. His mother, who is a Cherokee, is 107, and his father, a Navaho, is 106 “As far as I know, they’re both in good health,” said Camaho, who works for Robinson Clay product company. “They write to me every so often and I re ceived a letter from them a month ago.” Camaho, who was born in Texas, left the Mid West in 1921 and traveled to Coatesville and Pittsburgh before settling in this area. He has not seen his parents since 1926, when he made a visit to Oklahoma. The trip was a long and unusual one—made both ways on a motorcycle. The area man has four brothers and a sister, and notes that they too left the Mid West and he does not know their whereabouts. A father of seven children, Camaho said he “would like to see” his mother and father again. “But it would cost too much money,” he said, “I just can’t make it.
