Dear little Helen,
—I was very glad to get your letter. Yes I think Charles Cummings is a mate for Charles Batteford in size any way. I am so glad the you are having such a good time. So nice that you could go and enjoy the country next week you will have to get down to studying.
—Your papa brought Mary up yesterday morning and she stayed all day with me we had a fine time. She took a long nap in the morning also one in the afternoon was just as gold. I gave her some custard when she ate her dinner and when she was eating a lunch in the afternoon of rice, she pointed out to the Ice chest & wanted custard. I asked her if that was what she wanted & she nodded her head and said yes in her way. When her papa came to take her home she said at first she did not want to go but changed her mind when he was ready to start. I must close this and get to my ironing with much love to you both. Also to Uncle Walter & Aunt Lou.
Your loving Grandma
I think everything is going along fine if you and Dorothy are away for a time.

Troy, O. Dec. 28.—Rev. Owen M. Sellers, West Milton, for 33 years an active minister of the Methodist Episcopal church and at various times pastor of many of the Churches of that denomination in Miami county, died at Christ hospital, Cincinnati, at 7:15 o'clock on Christmas morning. He had gone to the hospital just before Thanksgiving and some two weeks ago underwent a preliminary operation. He had seemed to be getting along well and it had been anticipated he would undergo further surgery.
Funeral services will be held at the M. E. church in West Milton at one o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev. E. D. Baker of Troy, pastor of the West Milton church, will officiate, and Dr. E. H. Roberts, of Springfield, district superintendent, will participate in the service. Burial will be made at New Burlington, Clinton county.
The decendent was born on a farm north of Lebanon, Warren county, Feb. 17, 1953, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Sellers. The greater part of his life was devoted to the ministry and he served many churches oin this section, among them being Tippecanoe City, Covington, Casstown, Bethel, West Milton, and Grace, at Piqua, all in Miami county, and Trinity at Dayton, New Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Jamestown and Leesburg. Since his retirement he has resided most of the time at West Milton.
He retired from active pastoral work in 1910 but continued to do much supply work as he was happiest when he was engaged in the service of the church and it's head.
He was united in marriage to Miss Flora Haydock of New Burlington, who died three years ago last May. There survive three sons; Damon H. Sellers, superintendent of schools of Miami county, who resides at Troy; Evan O. Sellers, of Lima, and Randolph F. Sellers of Cincinnati.

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]

Notes:

I recall Great Uncle Charles Sellers as living in Springfield, Ohio and manufactured some kind of patten medicine. He used to make a pill called "Liverites" and they were bottled in a wooden bottle with a wooden stopper. He had one son, Richard, who was working for some company in Dayton. My brother, Bob Lackey's wife, Frances Douthit, was a stenographer in his office at the time Bob Lackey married her. Uncle Charlie had another son, who was connected with the Laconda or Lycoming Manufacturing Company in Springfield. I also recall two daughters of Uncle Charlies, but cannot recall their given names. One of them married Herbert Wineland. They had several children, but I do not recall any of their names.

Notes:

Great Aunt Addie Sellers never married. She was a nurse and she lived with and took care of Great Grandfather Ferdinand Sellers until his death. They lived in Springfield. The last time I saw Aunt Addie was in Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were home on a visit and we took our daughter to Cincinnati to the zoo. She was a youngster at that time. I did not get to visit with Aunt Addie very long since she was going to have a blood transfusion, and the doctor was anxious to have blood donated. My blood did not match as I have a more or less rare type, AB, but he said that they would put it in the blood bank and credit it to her, so I spent part of my time in the laboratory giving blood at the time I was there.

On our first two trips we went up to Glendora to see Darrow Sellers. He has two sons. One of the sons was living in California and was with the U. S. Forestry Service. The other son was in the Navy and at that time was stationed in Washington, D. C. [Source: Letter written by Amos Clark Lackey addressed to David Randolph Sellers, dated May 23, 1966]
