After the death of Mollie, John became sick & moved to a better climate. Along the route, Myrtle stayed in Farmington, San Juan, NM. The balance of the family continued to make a home in AZ. John WILLIAMS died and was taken to Holbrook, AZ for burial, between 1909 and 1913. am searching for information on John A. and his ethnic background. My grandmother, Myrtle, spent a lot of time around Native Americans, and may have been part Native American.

LOVELADY
Seek information about William "Lovie" LOVELADY, who died in Winslow. Is there a burial record for him in Navajo County? We need birth/death dates and name of cemetery. Was he married? Did he have children? Family stories indicate that he was a fiddler. We think William's father was John LOVELADY, but we need the name of his mother. We are trying to determine whether this William is the same person as William H. LOVELADY, who was listed as living in Coconino County, age 41, on the 1920 AZ Soundex. We will appreciate any information. Thank you! Wilma Moore  Oct 1998

BOTELLO / GONZALES
Am seeking any information on my husband's Maternal Great-Grandfather, Modesto BOTELLO--who lived for a time in Holbrook, Arizona. He fathered a daughter with Maria GONZALES in 1906, lived together with them in Holbrook for a few years, then family lore says he "went to war and never returned." No one knows what ever happened to him. We think he may have some surviving relatives in McNary, Arizona. If anyone has any information on Modesto Botello--who would have been born around 1886--I would appreciate hearing from them. Kathleen Acuna May 1999
