James Custer DAWSONBorn 19, Aug, 1909 at Clay Co., WV, died 15, Feb, 1993 at Bartow, Polk, Florida , 83 years While searching for my Father's family, my sister sent a letter to the Post Office in Widen, WV. The Post Mistress forwarded it to Custer Dawson, this was in 1967. Custer was moving to Flordia and forgot the letter, in 1991 he was looking through an old box and came accross the letter. He contacted my sister but no real information was excanged because Custer was very ill at the time and passed on. She sent another letter to the post office in about 1989 and the Post Mistress saved it. In 1997 Dallas Dawson came in and was chatting with her, since they were also cousins she gave him the second letter. He also contacted my sister and they set up a reunion in Sommerville, WV. on Widen Day. ~~~~~~ Social Security death index.
