When I was a child I often visited my step-grandfather's farm in the summertime (1950s). He was aged and infirm at the time but was still maintaining a small farm a few miles from Effingham. Does anyone recall the Christie family. My grandfather was Arthur, and his brother was Jim, who had a farm east of town. with a large white barn and the name "Christia" on it. My aunt was Alberta (Molly) Estes. Another aunt, Lee, married Frank Oswald in the late 50s.

I just went came back to this site after posting so many months ago. Lena was my aunt also, my father's sister. She moved to KS after her first husband died, where she met Frank. Molly was an aunt also, and very good to me when I visited the farm. For part of a year I attended 1st grade at a one room school near Arthur Christie's farm; my teacher was Glady (or Gladys) Christie.
