Volume 2, No. 4, August 1983
Pages 51-63
I realize that Bernice included many birthdates in her information, but I will not include any dates for those that I do not have a death date for. Times have changed since the 1970's and this is the Internet afterall! Please email me personally for any dates that appeared in the book or the newsletters. Sorry for any inconvience that this may cause.
This newsletter was the last newsletter that Bernice Shackelton was the Editor. It included information on Eugene Hamilton White's family; additions and corrections; and numerous letters from family. Again there are too many letters to recreate here, email me if you are interested knowing about them.

Additions and Corrections
page 216-Sayre, PA (r instead of an n)
page 217-Charles Stage Kelts (not Keck)
(note; during the 19th century and early 20th the family name of Stage was very well known for excellence in making cut-glass-ware. The name of Kelts was Keltz pprior to WWII)
page 217-Erma Beers should be deleted and replaced by Ida Philips, who as a small child was raised by her Grandmother and Aunt Aura Beers.

Letter from Bernice and Oscar Shackelton
...this will be the last newsletter I shall do. My eyesite has failed me to the extent that I must use a magnifying glass to read by now. My implants of six to seven years ago are still working, but the retina has deteriated to the extent that my center vision is almost completel gone. I can still see color, objects, stop lights, etx. but I can't read without extrememly bright light. I have been to the specialist in K.C. who gave me treatments with the Laser beam, but it did very little goo. My left eye has 20-50 but the right does not respond. i go timorrow for my last check up. I am told I will never go completely blind for which I am very thankful. It is with a sad heart I must say farewll and many, many thanks for your help to keep this letter in cirulation for eleven years. It has been a joy to hear from all of you and share your findings, your joys and your heartaches. I pray that another member may take up the good work and keep you all in touch.
Farewell, Oscar and Bernice Shackelton
