Note: Uncle Howard had an executive job with the P&LE RR,some kind of scheduling agent or something. He was the only Stapleton I know of who went to college & got a degree. He was, as I understand, a sickly child who couldnt work in the dairy so his mother decided he needed to be educated in order to survive. He also was the only son who could be called a gentleman! He was a very nice person in all respects... not a mean bone in his body, completely different than any of his brothers. My mother told me that he wanted to adopt me and raise me as his son, proably because he only had one child; a girl named Alma Jean.
