I do that with a lot of my grandfather's papers from around that time. We have papers from a dog named Vanover's Chief(born March 3, 1965), which was out of House's Chief and a Great Grand-daughter of Shetler's Sonny Boy. My grandfather's first registered dog was out of Merchant's Bawlie and Merchant's Lou(daughter of a multiple world champion named Incredible Rock). The dog's name was Vanover's Bawlie Jr.(born April 4, 1961). Pap payed $100 for him, and he would soon realize that this pup was worth every penny of it. He was offered $900one night for the dog back in the 60's and the next night $1,000, but did not sell him. I still have the letters that Mr. Merchant sent him when Pap was interested in buying a pup. Later, that pup got killed on the railroad tracks and he bought a pup out of the same cross but different litter, named Vanover's Little Fanny(born October 25, 1965). He bred her to the son of House's Chief and kept a dog named Vanover's Tim that was a real nice hound that got stolen when he was about 14 months old. I also have a set of paper's on a daughter of Finley River Sport(Finley River Pete x Duvall's Lone Pine Lady), named Vanover's Sue(born May 19, 1973). Also, I have a set of papers on a female named Vanover's Texas Babe, out of Norman's Coon Stopper and a female out of House's Bawlie, born Aug 26, 1969. Another set of paper's I have is on a female named Vanover's Little Judy that was a great grand-daughter of Johnson's Banjo. The next set of Paper's I have is on a male dog named Vanover's Tenn. Dan(born April 7, 1978) which is out of Pratt's Tenn. Jim and Vanover's Sue. I also have a set of paper's on his daughter which is named Vanover's Judy II(Vanover's Tenn Dan x Vanover's Dixie), born March 2, 1987. Her mother was named Vanover's Dixie, she was out of Lansdown's Smokey(Finley River Joe x Tramble's Sweet Thing) and Vanover's Little Judy, she was born May 22, 1981. Another set of paper's of my grandfather's are on a male dog that is Van's Finley River Buster(born June 4, 1968), he was out of Johnson's Finley River Buck(Claxton's Finley River Spot x Cather's Ozark Dolly)and Vanover's Little Fanny. The last set of paper's of my grandfather's was on a female dog named Hendrick's Bell(born August 15, 1960), he was out of Merchant's Bawlie II(Merchant's Bawlie x Dolan's Tenn. Jude) and R&J's Susie(Triple T Gen. Ike x Triple T Beauty). Alot of those dogs are still in our bloodlines today.
The other two sets of paper's were owned by Pap's brother, Russell Vanover. They are english coonhounds named Minnesota's Blue King(born May 1, 1946), and Vanover's Blue born sometime in January of 1958(all I have is his bill of sale).
