So I just joined Genealogy Bank (for their 30-day trial), and I'm trying to see what I can find.  The first thing I was looking for I found quickly.  Verneta Corinne's obituary.  While it does list her children's names, I'm afraid I know nothing else.  Two more potential cousins to try to find, but I'm not very good at finding people who are still alive.  And who knows if they even want to be found.  So I'll continue with Verneta's siblings and keep her children in my tree in case more information on them pops up.

Action Items:
1. Continue to look for any information on children.  
2. Continue to look for William Bostian's obituary from 1997.
