Hello Rita. It was nice to hear from you and I look forward to your continuing correspondence regarding Isabells. My paternal grandmother, Josephine C. Isabell, was the daughter of Theodore Isabell and Celia LaDuke, from Berlin, Monroe, Michigan. My grandmother, Josephine, was widowed at 18 from William Stafford (my dad about 2 at the time) and she remarried to Gilbert Dewees...family from Iowa. Her sister's name was Edna Isabell. Josephine was a hard worker and the Head Housekeeper at St. John's Hospital on the east side of Detroit. She died from a heart attack at work in 1964. Let me know what information you are interested in and I, too, will share all that I have. Thanks again for your note.
Sincerely,
Maureen Little
