    1. Christie, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. I grew up in Duckhill, and have begun to work on genealogy and local history matters too. Your mother was such a light in the community, and her books are an invaluable resource to folks now and forever. I always meant to write to her to thank her and ask about where to find copies, and just looked her up to do so today, and found this obituary. She was a very fine woman.
