Samuel Gann of Winchester Va Family

From Elston F. Gann, Cameron, MO. From Marie Dryden, 437 Elm, Chillicothe, MO 64601.

!Vena May lived in Sampsel township when married to Charles F. Mutter and living at Moberly, MO Jan. 6, 1960.

!From letter written by Vena Gann Mar 14 1968: Our sister Janie died real young. Of course, that was before my time but heard my mother speak of her a lot. I don't know where Frank, Ida or Dave were born. All of that information was in the Bible and my mother requested me to give that Bible to Uncle Tom Breeze after her death, which I did, and I don't know what they ever did with it. It also contained Grandfather Gann and Grandfather's Breeze's births and genealogy in it. I'm sorry I didn't keep it. Now Grandmother Gann died around 1869 or 70. Grandpa Gann never remarried. They had twelve children. I think (not sure) that Grandma and Grandpa Gann were buried at Humansville, Mo. (May not be correct.) Grandpa Breeze died at the age of 56 years. Grandma Breeze lived to be 84 and passed away at our home in Sampsel in the Mace Keith property. I was 10 years old then. Grandma Breeze's maiden name was Spalding (Elizabeth), she was a Virginian. Her first husband was John Nave. They had two children, John, Jr., and Mary Nave. John and John, Jr., drowned when Junior was about 3 or 4 years old. After that Grandma Breeze and Aunt Mary Nave (she never married) lived with Grandma's son (Uncle Jim Breeze) until Aunt Mary died--then Grandma Breeze came to our home to live. She lived with us about 9 years. The last 7 years of her life she was blind and she always called me her little pilot. I led her around the house and in the yard. Oh! How I loved her. To me she has always been the dearest person in the world.
