I have met Mrs. Horvath and she used some of my material in her book. I have a copy of her book. I did not have the picture of EJ Freeman that you sent, but do have one of him, his wife and children. I do not have the Horvath book here. If you do not have the picture of him with his wife and children I will send you one. Please let me know.
The cousin of mine who lives in Sun City is Eucal Freeman Evans, she probably is the oldest living descendant of Benjamin Oscar Freeman. Her brother, Durrell Junior Freeman, was in the Navy in San Diego and liked that area so much he went back there after his time in service and got his mother, father and two sisters and their families to move there. He had a career working for the city of San Diego, but has moved back to LaGrange, Georgia and lives there most of the time. He did marry a Philippino woman and they spend part of their time in the Phillipines now.
