TL;DR -- Memorial Day is just what it claims that it is. We try to do a task related to Find A Grave for a family during this time. This year, we follow up on an in-law family, the Kallens.

Since 2019, we have had task of updating FindAGrave for a family. Our first year for this, 2019, filled in some missing information about a Civil War vet buried near Logan International in Boston. His name was Walter A. Ingalls who married a Lunt in-law. As we were getting the links in order, we looked at the siblings of that generation and found their profiles. Too, we did several posts: Problems with Find A Grave; Resources and work; and Henry Lunt lot. That last post was to tie into the 1634 arrival of the Lunt forebear. But, we had seen many of these maps while researching Sidney Perley who walked around Salem and reported measurements so that we could look back at the 17th Century with facts from the 19th Century.

In our post, we mentioned her brother, Horace Kallen, who was a philosopher. He spent some time in Israel which we will write about. But to set the context of his sister's efforts, this paper is an overview: Horace Kallen’s Expanding Vision of Cultural Pluralism: Nationality, Race, and Democracy on the World Stage, 1918–1939.
The image is from an interview with Deborah who was visiting her brother and looking for support for her educational activity in Israel which was under a British mandate in the 1930s. She is asked about the Arab Uprising and its effect on her educational efforts. Deborah noted that "We need scholarships for our school -- American will provide them." She returned to Israel where we will pick up the story in a later post.
We have found the grave profiles for her family. Deborah and her siblings are listed in the order reported in Horace's obituary.
