Obituary of Althea McMillan Daniels Clay Godbey

submitted October 2000 by Rita Hawley O'Brien


 

Be aware that the ftp server is very busy. If you get a message that the file cannot be opened, keep trying. It may take several attempts for you to get through, but have patience. The files are worth the wait!!!

If you don't, who will???

Won't You Help Us???

These files are submitted by volunteers just like you! I make it a habit that anytime I transcribe records, whether for myself or to share with others, I type them in text format so that I can submit them to the USGenWeb project. It doesn't take any extra effort and it really can help many people. I'm very grateful to the USGenWeb archives for all the great info provided by the volunteers. 

Submit to Elizabeth, burns@asu.edu

Have submission questions?
