Great News! Deloris Ramon from Evanston, Wyoming contacted me (her first email ever). She is a Great Granddaughter of Charlotte Elizabeth Mellor and John Henry Roper. Her Grandfather James Leo Roper is a brother to my Great Grandfather William Roper. James Leo Roper married Maria Daisy Wilstead. James and Maria had two children, one lived to be an adult, James William Roper, who is Deloris’ father. James was born in Castlegate, Carbon, Utah and passed away 14 October 1999 in Ogden, Utah.
