Notes

Great Aunt Ettie Sellers was married to Fred Lucas. They lived in Xenia. I can recall some of Aunt Ettie's family. Her daughter, Mary, was married to Bill Harrison and they had three children. Bessie, who was a little older than I am, died of pneumonia as a young lady. There were two boys, Frederick and Bill. Their father used to be Superintendent of the old Xenia Water Company. They lived out on the Springfield Pike. There is a fish hatchery where this old water company was located. He later was a Superintendent of a water plant there in Oldtown when the city of Xenia took over the water company. As a boy, I used to be in their home quite often. As we used to go swimming in a place below the old water plant, and I have stayed overnight at their home many a time as a child. Aunt Ettie had another daughter that I cannot recall her name at this time, nor can I recall her married name. Her husband's given name was Ben and he worked for the Bell Telephone Company in Xenia. They had several children, but they were much younger than we were at that time and I cannot recall any names. Another daughter of Aunt Etties, possibly her name was Laura, was married to Edward Bostwick. They also lived in Xenia and I recall three of their children; one daughter, Mary, and the boy's names were Clarence and Edward. These two boys, I understand, worked and both graduated from college, and I believe are located some place in Illinois. I believe one of the boys was the business manager of some college in Illinois. Aunt Ettie's oldest son was Ralph Lucas, who was married sever times, but did not have any children only by his last wife. his last wife's name was Ethel and she was of Russian extraction, coming from the Georgian area of Russia. They had one son, Ralph, Jr., who I understand lives in Texas, and has a very responsible position as a manager of some store of some kind. Ralph Lucas, Sr. lived most his life around Cincinnati and Covington. He was a manager for the Western Union Telegraph Company. When he retired, he lived in a trailer at Xenia. The other son of Aunt Etties that I recall was named Henry and spent a good deal of time in the Armed Services. The last I remember of hearing about him, he was running a restaurant at New Vienna, Ohio. [Source: Letter written by Amos Clark Lackey addressed to David Randolph Sellers, dated May 23, 1966]
