What a great surprise to find your blog with photos of Frank and Ellen Rule - the very people I have been researching. Dr. Frank was the eldest son of Sarah Witzgall and Charles Calvin Rule, residents of Clyde, Ohio. Sarah was the sister of my great-great grandmother. I've just begun delving into this side of the family and would love to share info. My blog: www.attheriverbend.blogspot.com
