	I was sort of holding off on sending this until There was more to report 
but it does not seem to be forth comming so will just send You the 
information I do have.
	A distant cousin,  Robert Victor Theiss , passed away  6 March 2002. 
  Services were at the Good Shepard Lutheran Church   in Fort Dodge Iowa  9 
March 2002 @ 10:30 am   Rev. Lyle Hansen was the clergy.   Internment was 
in the North Lawn Cemetry (Fort Dodge ) with Grave side Military Honors by 
V.F.W. Post 1856.
	Robert ( better known as Bob by most of us )  Would be a sixth generation 
to a common ancestor to Your mother and myself.  Three other brothers, 
Alvin, Carl, and Wilmar, have passed away and I did not know it for a long 
time.  So know nothing about when or where.
	I have been waiting in hopes I would get some information about Cousin 
Dorothy and Cousin Ruby's husbands.    (That is Uncle Franz's daughters ) 
 Both had passed away and were in the grave for some time before I even 
knew about it.   And I still do not have any more info.   Yes Cousin 
Dorothy's husband has been gone for a long time.
	Nothing else new around here.   I will send you some more information when 
it is received.
	Love and God Bless
		Cousin Howard and Loretta
