Watch Quicktime Movie:Remembering John Blake

No data is provided for the generations still living, as a matter of privacy. Tentative, unproven, and speculative information is in red type. Be aware that this is a work in progress. I am indebted to my cousin, Becky Humphreys, for all her tenacity, insight, and comraderie in this search for our grandparents. Thanks also to Jacqueline Duke Pardue, Izetta Duke Koetter, and John and Larry Duke for so well preserving family photos and documents. This work is dedicated in memory of Norman C. Pardue, who first sparked my hunt for history. And to my father, for drawing me my first wooden horse.
