Divorced by my father in Buffalo, New York effective February 1930. Julia remarried and had more children. Died in Canada, 1997. I reunited with her in spirit at her grave in Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada in July 2001, four years too late to have seen her after a separation of 68 years.
- Sister:Margaret Elizabeth FELT Separated from me in 1933, after our father's divorce and remarriage, and sent away to live with another family where I lost track of her until 1999, when we were reunited through this very page. (I was only 5 when we were separated and she 9!) Married Frederick SHARP in 1945. Has three children, Elaine, Tom and Tina
- But, again, unquestionably by the incomparable grace of God and His remarkable intervention, a MIRACLE! After living in foster homes for several years after my father's divorce, I was saved in 1944 by being taken in and adopted by a wonderful FELT family of English descent! Didn't even have to change my surname! But that's the story of ANOTHER miracle! God has been SO GOOD to me!
