  • Story: Towendolly/Arana

    Hello, I was viewing your tree today and I see that you have a child listed for Arnold and Grace Arana Towendolly. I believe this is a mistake. Grace Towendolly was my mothers Great Aunt and she never had any children. However, Graces&#39;s sister Harriet Towendolly was married to the brother of Grace&#39;s husband Lawerence Arana and they had one child. Harriet died when the child was only 1 year of age. Grace then raised the child as her own. His name is Lawerence as well and he is my grandmothers first cousion. There was alot of marriage between the Towendolly and Arana familes. Three of the Arana sibilings married Towendollys. Julia Arana married Theodore Towendolly who was my great grandfather. When my mother was only 9 months old she was removed from the custody of her parents and placed with Theodore (who was her grandfather) and Julia. This was in 1954. Ted( as Theodore was called) and Julia were in their 50&#39;s by then and were unable to care for my mother on a permenent basis. Julia had 2 sons from a previous marriage (Bill and Bert) Bert and his wife had been trying for several years to have children with no luck. When they found out that Julia and Ted had my mother and could not care for her they adopted and raised my mother. I have fond memoried of Julia Arana Towendolly. She was a wonderful woman and a very loving grandmother. I also have fond memories of Lawerence Arana jr. I saw him quite a bit when I was a young child. He used to tease me constantly when I was a small girl. Lawerence was married a couple of times but he never had any children..<br>Anyway, if you have any questions about anything please feel free to ask.<br>Good to meet you<br>Bobby Jo Larkin<br>bobbyjolarkin@gmail.com
