John Lucas was my maternal grandfather.Laura Benson was my maternal grandmother.My mother, Martha,is deceased.She told us about John Lucas changing his name from Sipple to Lucas.She said that John would leave the family for varying periods of time.When he returned, he would have a lot of money.She never knew where he went or how he got the money.My sister Barb dug up some newspaper reports about Curtis Sipple.They tell about his arrest in KY for killing 2 people in a railroad camp.He confessed his guilt and as far as I know was executed in PA.That is all I know.
