This is a genealogy web site containing my Runyon Family Tree and related families. These facts have been
compiled, to the best of my ability, by research, internet searches, and word of mouth from my family. Please do
not take every fact as "the word", but go about proving them yourself. I welcome any corrections or additions.

IN MEMORY OF OUR ANCESTORS ALL
TREE OF LIFE
OUR FAMILY TREE GROWS TALL AND WIDE,
SPREADING ACROSS THE COUNTRY SIDE.
IT'S BRANCHES ARE STRONG,
EACH GROWING IT'S OWN WAY,
BUT IT'S ROOTS ARE DEEP,
AND FOREVER WILL STAY.
IT SHEDS IT LEAVES, ONE AT A TIME,
BUT NEW BUDS COME,
AND THAT'S ALWAYS A SIGN.
THAT A TREE CANNOT DIE,
IT GROWS ON FOREVER,
SURVIVING THE WINDS, AND STORMY WEATHER.
EACH BRANCH A FAMILY,
EACH LEAF A HEART,
OF THE TREE OF A FAMILY,
THAT WILL NOT PART.
