Hi Mark,
I would like to make a correction: Mary Deyo was Bonah/Bonin. Bonah appears on her tomb stone in Holy Angels Cemetery.
Also the picture that you have tagged as Frank and Lillian Deyo is Frank and Lillian Dragoon (Lillian Deyo was the daughter of John and Mary.)
Frank Deyo(wife Ella) and Fred Deyo (wife Lillian) were the owners of the Deyo Brothers store. Frank and Ella were my father and mother – law.
Thanks,
Barb Deyo

Hi Barb
All fixed…. but I left Burnah because I have found some data and info for Mary under that name. I have to admit the name transitions in the Deyo clan are spectacular!
