  1. Hi, I came across this page while doing some internet searches about my grandmother and her side of the family. Virginia Holding was my paternal grand mother. She married Winfred Noel Smith, then Mr. Hibbard and then John Davies.
    Merle was married to Jack Larsen who was a very talented artist and is now passed away. Merle and Helen are my grand aunts and I do not know much about them.

    Thanks for posting this, Larry Smith
