My great grandmother was Luise Sophie Tradel (married to Charles Westfall. Their children include Ledger, Horace, Bessie, Ethel, Jeffry, Iva, Harold, Martha and Raymond. Martha (b 15 Mar 1904 in Walnut, IA d 29 May 1987 in Iowa City, IA) was my grandmother. She married Judge Walter Smith, I on 05 Feb 1920. Their eldest 5 children (Calvin, Judge, Charles, Kenneth, Ila Hill) are deceased. The youngest child is my mother and she is still living. My grandmother's sister Ethel married a Mentzer. Many of my family are buried in the Mentzer cemetery. My mother and her siblings were all born in Johnson County, IA. I have just started to research my mother's ancestors. The only names I have so far are Smith, Westfall and Trader. Could you help me in my search? Any help would be appreciated.
