(I will try to get a more detailed obit as I believe I know Mrs. Tomkins son-in-law.)
What family ties did she have to Mary Ann Tompkins ?
I don't know. Her son-in-law's name is Leonard and his last name starts with an S. I see him when he comes down from Nebraska to do some farming. I'm hoping I can get a full obit from him. I couldn't find it on-line anywhere. Maybe it will be in next weeks Flint Hill Express.
I curious to know if she has ties to Virginia (Morgan) and Harold D.Tompkins, Carl and Curtis Morgan's sister and brother-in-law?

That would probably most likely be Leonard Szatko
I think Mary Ann and Harold were siblings. I may be wrong, but it seems that I remember that from the late 40's. Mary Ann and Lucy Bowman Criger were good friends in high school.

That is the Leonard I'm thinking of.
