For Laverne Piatt et al:

Nannie Louise Lodge is my grandfather's sister. I have heard for some time
about the book she wrote ('The Tribe of Jacob') but have never seen a copy.
Also, I have heard of a periodical that she wrote (edited?/contributed to?)
but do not know the name. I would appreciate it if you could provide any
help in locating a copy of this book.

Family stories tell that when Aunt Louise died (at the 'Old Ladies Home', in
Covington KY), she left a 'trunkfull' of material of unknown but presumably
family/genealogical provenance. By the time my grandfather found out about
her death, the material had been 'thrown out'.

My great grandfather (Charles Elwood Lodge) died in 1906 in Springfield, MO.
when my grandfather was about fourteen. There was little contact with Aunt Louise
or thier older brother (Jacob Strader Lodge) after that time, although she
apparantly
came to Missouri for a visit sometime in the 30s.
Much of this info comes from my gradmother about thirty years ago - my grandfather

was always very reticent about discussing this.

btw, I have Aunt Louise's date of death as 12 Mar 1939.
