Events in My Family Tree: January 26

There are no marriages in this list, but three of the deaths are for ancestors, as opposed to collateral relatives.  I really should have a photograph of great-granduncle Willie Brainin somewhere, but I appear to have misplaced it.  I hope it isn't lost forever.

Births

John R. Gaunt, son of Redden N. Gaunt and Pauline E. Smuck, was born January 26, 1859, probably in Indiana.  He is my 3rd cousin 3x removed.

Grace Elizabeth Easlick, daughter of Allen Severs Easlick and Mary E. Shemeley, was born January 26, 1906, probably in Burlington County, New Jersey.  She is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Gauntt line.
