Wow. We did not know that Walt Simpson past away last year. After my grandfather - Tom Henry past away in 1991, we lost touch with most of his side of the family with the exception of his sister Margaret. She had to go into a nursing home and past away a couple of years later. Her memory was good for the last 10 or 20 years, but not for anything later. I tried to ask her about family but she either did not want to tell things or she could not remember.

My mother remembers Walt telling the story of Babe robbing a bank with the Bunch gang, and they hid the money on the banks of the tennessee river. When the went back to retreive it, they forgot where it was. Walt said there was a lot of money buried some where on the bank.

We are related. Ida's four children were Margaret, Harmon, Mary, Tom. They have all past away. Harmon's wife Rose is still living and Mary's husband Bill is still living. Both of them are in poor health.
