Also, Della married William Cunningham before she passed away, so the name on her headstone is Della Cunningham 1900-- (I think) 1960. I haven't visited her grave in years.
Our father died in 1990 in Augusta, Ky, and, although he was an atheist, is buried in a chapel cemetery in Bracken County.
I have known I have two half-sisters since I was about ten years old. However, Smokey didn't tell me about you and your sister until I was a teenager.
Another fun fact: we have a half brother in Germany.
My mother, Luella J Schmidt Grissom did not think it a good idea that I look you up. Out of respect to her, I obeyed. My mother passed in 2011, and have been toying with the idea of trying to locate you and your sister. I happened to run across your post and felt I should respond.
I would be interested to know if you knew of my existence. I am an only child, and my husband of 32 years and I have no children. I am a recently retired teacher. We have a business and belong to St. Johns Lutheran Church in Campbell Couny.
I know there are lots of bad people on the Internet, but I hope I've given you enough information to allay any concerns that I am who I say I am.
If you choose not to contact me, I understand. Also, I seem to remember that your mother's name is Sarah.
Respectfully, Glenda
