fact sources and writings about this individual:Verbally - July 1999, Leora recalled her Grandmother's Strong Irish accent'. That would either be Sarah Farnham "unlikely, although Farnham sounds like an Irish surname." or Anna Eisele "much more evidence it was Anna." I have not been able to figure out who she was speaking of. The Farnham's were in America for several generations, and little is known about Anna Eisele as she was an adopted child.

William "Bill" Morgan & Gertrude in 1908. -
Marv Everingham (Leora's son) says that Grandpa "Bill Morgan" harness raced. Marv later raced stock cars in the 1970s, but not as much as his brother "Gene Everingham" who raced stock cars or sponsered cars his whole life, and so did some other descendants from the "Morgan" family.
