Their daughter, Clarissa Cora Conrad married my Great Grand- father, Francis George Decker. Francis' father was Charles married to Mary Bailey.

Francis and Clarissa had 4 children, Ethel died 2 years of age, buried at cemetery at Bailey Run. Clyde (married Grace Norris), Merrit (married Irene Scribner) and Fay (married Freida Wonner).
