    Kristen, I cannot get over the fact that this man looks exactly like Orvis Houdeshell, the youngest son of Bill Housdeshell. Bill was Grandma Hoover’s younger brother and he lived up the road from us in Pine Glen. They could pass for twins. Interesting that they both have the same name!

      They were first cousins, so I’d guess the some resemblance is to be expected.

    What is your relationship to him? Orvis is my my uncle, his brother George Rowles, is my father.

      George,
      thanks for the post. Your grandmother Anna Belle (Houdeshell) Rowles was the sister of my great grandmother Nora Malina (Houdeshell) Hoover.
