So this past week my mom decided she needed to look in the Family History Binder we had upstairs. While looking through it she realized that in 1927 My Great Uncle William Milton McElprang served His mission in Mississippi. He was in Darbon, Mississippi which is just a through way today. But is right outside of Hattisburg, Mississippi which is where Nate is serving right now. It was so cool. My mom contacted one of His daughters and she is going to send us stories from His missionary journal that we can share with Nate.
William Milton McElprang
This uncle Milton actually saved my grandpa's life when He was a baby. My Grandpa William "Bill" was born with a rare blood disorder and they didn't think that we would live. so they just named Him William. But uncle Milton had the same blood type as my grandpa and would go to Price have His blood taken and bring it back. They would then give the blood to my grandpa. So that is why He got named William. Milton was my Great Grandma Della Adelia's older brother.
