to Bill Potts, fellow Hague searcher
I thoroughly enjoyed your "homespun tale" surrounding the famous Hague
laughter.  I wonder if a couple of my grandmother's siblings had that
"Hague laugh?"  My (great) Uncle Homer's laughter was so infectious, and
so fun to be around.  It seemed that every family gathering in which he
participated was always jolly.  (Great) Aunt Anna (his sister) had the
same quality in her laugher.  It's the trait I  remember about them the
very most.  My grandmother, Macie Belle Hays, had it also, but not as
much as Uncle Homer and Aunt Anna.    Perhaps they all got their laugh
from their mother CORNELIA LUCRETIA HAGUE,  whose father, JOHN
HAGUE b 1825, was the eldest child of Reuben Hague b 1801, (also an
eldest) child of John Hague b 1775.
