Hello, I seen where you had did a biography on Robert Laird Evans. I was wondering if you knew anyone from his family that is living? My Grandparents recently bought out a storage unit, and they came across his recognition in his honor. It was dedicated to his great, great, great, granddaughter named Mary Elizabeth Tittle. It also had his metals from his war in it. We would like to find Mary Elizabeth Tittle and give it to her. Or if not her, hopefully to a relative.
Thank you!
