Henry was my Great Grandfather and I have a photo of him with his children taken about 1907. The spelling of the surname changed about this time and became SLEMON. I remember my Grandfather always being particular about this and thinking back now I wonder if there was some sort of rift in the family that led to the name change. I am in the process of finding the siblings of my Grandfather and their children.
