Wendell O. Rakestraw
Family : My thoughts and prayers to each of you at this time. I remember Oertel from years gone bye at Mather Bros Furniture in Austell. Mr Homer Abernathy was a good friend to my family (Grady & Myrtice Rakestraw & Crokers) in Hiram also from years past. I would visit him and carry him catfish, turtles, squirrels, rabbits , etc. He liked wild game and Mrs Oertel (his wife ) was a nice person also. May God bless and comfort each of you daily.
