My Love Is True



Mrs. Vera Stuber
Spencerville, Ohio


Hello Vera -


How are you this is not to answer your letter but I haven't time to write more now, will write a letter next time.  It has been pretty cold 30 below zero but we didn't think it was near that cold.  I have been very busy in store all day, we have good sleighing.

Arthur Raymond and Maude Gertrude (McLAUGHLIN) LeMASTERS are buried in the Salamonia Cemetery, Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana.  Arthur was my paternal great granduncle.

Arthur was born December 28, 1885 in Jay County, Indiana, the son of Luman Walker and Mary Keziah (CHEW) LEMASTERS Jr.  

Maude was born September 29, 1888 to unknown parentage.

They were married on April 22, 1906 in Jay County, Indiana.  Though they had no children of their own, they did raise a foster son, John Mathias BISHOFF.

Arthur was a farmer, who also operated a garage in Geneva, Indiana and a grocery in Portland, Indiana.  He later wrote a history of the LeMaster family.

Arthur died December 16, 1971 in Portland, Jay County, Indiana.  Maude died in 1967.
