| | Vandivers, Southers and many related GA families |
 | | William (Bill) and John Joseph (Joe) were two of 13 children born to Rhoda and JFE Vandiver. |
 | | My father started on this work when he was a young man in the 1930s or so, when many of the Southers and Vandivers and their various relations were still alive and available. |
 | | I also have J Joseph's letters to his wife to be, Lula May Estee, from about 1910 to 1914, many describing the work he did surveying and building the early roads, dams, canals, aqueducts, etc., many of these in the Cascade Mountains of Washington not far from Mt Ranier. |
