Through the hard work of Mrs. Pat Hunsche of the Washington County Genealogical Society in Blair, Nebraska, I was able to get some information on Robert Lee and Minnie Virginia Stalcup (my g-grandparents), as well as their children Chester (my grandfather) and Letha. In particular, she sent a copy of the obituaries for Robert Lee and Minnie, as well as a copy of their marriage certificate. It is in Minnie's obituary that we have a mention of Robert Lee playing baseball for the St. Louis Browns. My dad also told me that he remembers visiting his grandaprents Robert and Minnie and that his grandpa gave him a mechanical pencil that had 'St. Louis Browns' on it. It is interesting to see the mention of Robert Lee being a Mason. I was hoping that lodge still existed in Kennard or Blair, but no luck so far. As I move forward I will try to see if any existing lodges have any information from that old lodge, and hopefully pictures. Another cool picture to add to the blog is a picture of Letha that Mrs. Hunsche found!
