Curious
My name is Jo Ann Eiler. I am the 32 year old daughter of Sammy Paul Eiler from Kirksville Missouri. My father died 20 years ago this upcoming October.Reflecting back upon my time with him I have come to realize that I really don't know a lot about him. I know that his mother, Lizzie Eiler was married to Carl Eiler. They had 13 kids in all.I can remember some of his siblings: Carl, Sara, Ginny, Susie, Vernie, Kathy, Terry, Randy, Clifford, Margie, and two that died in infancy.These were a rough and tough crowd.They were a poor family. My father Sammy enlisted in the Navy back in 1974.He married my mother Janet Pipes of La Plata Missouri.They relocated to Norfolk Virginia.I spent summers in Georgia with my aunts Susie and Ginny.After my father died in 1988 they really never spoke to me again.4 years ago I met up with my Aunt Sara, Uncle Vernie Joe, and Margie in Kirksville.The entire town seemed to have known me but I was clueless.This was a big family so if you know of them or have any pieces to the puzzle please let me know. Thanks, Jo Ann Eiler
