NW Okie's Journey

We went to some garage sales this last Saturday and found a pictorial history book, "Adventures In America," with text by John A. Kouwenhoven, published in 1938. That got me back researching my Kouwenhoven family connections on my mother's (Vada Paris) side of the family. We believe the "A" in John A. Kouwenhoven stands for "Atlee." J. A. Kouwenhoven Obituary, died at age 80.
