Irene Springsteen, are you still out there?
Your maiden name was Leeper, and you were born in 1920. Your mother, Jessie Tyler, died when you were only two, and you and your brother went to live with your Aunt Elsie and Uncle Orion.
You were living in New Mexico at the time of your Aunt Elsie's death in 1956, according to the obituary.
In a letter from a cousin in 1974 it said that you, your adult children, and your some 14 grandchildren were all doing well and close knit even though you were scattered in MI, TX and CA.
I doubt I will be able to find you if you are still living, but I am hoping that one of your grandchildren or great-grandchildren will be interested in genealogy and come accross this message some day.
Jessie's brother Lucien was my great-grandfather. I have some pictures of her and of her sister Elsie that I would love to share. Especialy since Elsie and Orion had no children of their own...
