* We believe that Loy & Lettie Bower resided in Pittsburgh, in a 2nd floor apartment; they were visited by both Elizabeth Wilson Williams & Nancy Beals Walls, but in our early childhood years. The memories included sandwiches of thin-shaved deli meat, and the gift of a candle produced from end-product wax at the refinery, probably Loy's place of employment.  There is also a memory of a miss-shapen finger, possibly from an industrial accident.
