Roy and Estalene (Korns) Dietle

Portrait of Roy and Estalene (Korns) Dietle
This is an index of material about my father Roy Emerson Dietle and my mother Estalene (Korns) Dietle. I described growing up in their household in the 2024 book In the Land of Used to Be. Roy was a son of Irvin Henry Dietle of Larimer Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Estalene was the only daughter of Allen & Gladys (Bittner) Korns of Southampton Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania who lived to adulthood. L. Dietle
