Caitlin Decker wrote a sympathy message

“Sorry to find this news today. Today I am scanning-in some family history documents from the DAR (Daughter's of the American Republic) and just now scanned the page from 1985 when Cleo applied to the DAR due to her relation to Luther Stewart, who was a Private during the Revolutionary War in 1779. This is a common ancestor to myself as well (Caitlin Decker - alternate lineage through Cyrus Rea and Kitty Ann Stewart). Condolences to all - sounds like Cleo had a long and full life.”
