DUTCHER FAMILY ASSOCIATION Vol. 1 ~ December 1, 1934 ~ No.1 * * * * * * * * * * * * It is in a spirit of great hopefulness that we start our first issue, however crude and incomplete it may be. The reaction to our first letter while not large, has been very enthusiastic and it is bound to grow. We will put in items relative to both the present day members and those who have already done their share and departed. Send in any items, past or present, relative to any member of the family. Here are the first known
(definitely proven) members of the Dutcher Family in
