A few months before my grandmother’s death, my mother (Dorothy [Overbaugh] Vander Meulen) worked with Alice [Connor] Vander Meulen to write down some of the family’s history and stories. The result was a small book, “Alice’s Story.”

Since it focuses on Alice’s family of origin, the John and Mary Connor Family, I am publishing the majority of it (with some edits, corrections, and enhancements) here, with roughly one chapter per post, with Dorothy’s permission.

This first post of “Alice’s Story” is derived from the book’s Introduction and First Chapter. (The entire book in electronic form is available upon request from me to all descendants of John & Mary Connor.)
