I am writing to suggest a correction to the bio of Elva Chamblin Arnold...the correction is to the name of her father...her father was George William Chamblin not Charles E. Chamblin...George died in 1879, 2 years after Elva and Elza were born in 1877...and their mother, Susan Peoples did not marry Charles Chamblin until 1891...
