I am not certain where she found my name, but she was inquiring about what information I have on the Cauffiel Family of Delaware. Perhaps she picked up my name on Dead Fred or Familyoldphotos. Or she might have googled Cauffiel and found me on the Barefoot blog. Anyway, she was inquiring about a Dan Cauffiel and his wife who moved from my hometown area of Cambria County, PA, to Wilmlington, Delaware. I had the basic information on my computer.

So now I had a Harold Sickle-Pickle-Mickle.

Then the representative from the state of Delaware communicated with me and told Daniel Maddox and Elizabeth Leventry Cauffiel me that the Cauffiel Summer home on the edge of the Bellevue State Park has now been donated by Hazel’s two sons – Dan and William Lickle. That really gave me a laugh and solved a mystery for Harold Sickle-Pickle-Mickle-Lickle. Once I had the name Charles Harold Lickle, I was able to find the family on the 1930 census. Then I had an additional laugh when I learned that Charles was the son of John Lickle and Fannie (Treakle) Lickle. I wondered if his mother called herself Trickle but decided that that would just be too funny.
