Katie Blackford[]

Katie Blackford was the pretty, blonde, blue-eyed daughter of Farmer William Blackford of Frankfort, Dakota. In 1937, she caught the eye of her father's first cousin Joshua Blackford, much to the amusement of her father and of his mother Flora, who were surprisingly unconcerned by the implication of incest.[1]

William Blackford[]

William Blackford (b. c. 1891) was a farmer on the outskirts of Frankfort, Dakota. His uncle Hosea Blackford was buried at the family homestead in 1937. He was close in age to his uncle's wife Flora Blackford, who asked him to visit New York City or Philadelphia. He declined, considering big cities to be too claustrophobic. William served as pallbearer for Hosea with Joshua and several national dignitaries.[2]
