At the 2006 Annual Coonrod Reunion at Mahaska Harold Coonrod and Leroy Summers helped identify this picture with no problem. The home in the background, it is the same style of home in the 2 photos below (Hungerford/Lowe home and Coonrod home) and we are told this IS the home of our Caspar Coonrod. Harold says that the steps to the building leads to the apartment where his parents Harley and Bea (Summers) Coonrod lived when they were first married (1911). The sign on the building in the foreground says "McCormick and Deering Implement"... /Coonrod Hardware.

If you have come to my website via Ancestry: Several years ago the genealogy giant Ancestry absorbed the genealogy websites of Rootsweb along with personal databases posted at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project that included a large database of my own family information. I started using Rootsweb in 2000 and they gave us the capability to add, remove, and update our information at anytime and I used these options frequently to post correct and current data. Presently (2006) I am told by Ancestry that we cannot maintain our own databases, we cannot even remove them. If you find information at Ancestry with my name attached please search my website for current information, the databases posted at Ancestry contain inaccurate information. - Karen Rowe.
