Hello, my name is Dawn Karafa and I am in the process of making my web page. This page is dedicated to my Father Edwin Osman Imm Sr. Born 11-06-1938, Died 11-06-1998.
My Father Edwin was born in New Kensington, P.A. His parents were Jeanie Scott, and Harry Edwin Imm. He had two siblings. Jeannie Toney, and Madeleine Dailey. My Father went to Arnold High School. He then signed up for the Army, where he served in the Korean War.
My Father Edwin was a meat cutter for most of his life, and loved to go fishing in his free time. He married the most beautiful woman alive on the face of the earth, my Mother Nellie Gray Todd, on May 31, 1963.
My Mother Nellie was born 04-06-1943 in Columbus County, N.C. She came from a large family. She had 13 siblings. Her parents were Nellie Louise Hooks, and Mack Duffie Todd. Her siblings are: Helen McLamb, Maxiene McLamb, Billy Wayne Todd, Bobby Lee Todd, George W. Todd, Wanda Williamson, Linda Fay Miller, Doris Jefferys(twin), Morris (Buddy) Todd(twin), Brenda Todd, Mack Duffie(M.D.)Todd, Johnny Todd, Ronnie Todd. Needless to say they had a busy supper table.
My Father and Mother Edwin and Nellie gave birth to four wonderful and might I add quite lovely children.
My Brother Edwin Osman Imm Jr. born 03-24-64. He has never married.
My Sister Sarah Elizabeth Imm born 06-24-66. Named after the Doctor that delivered her 'Sarah Elizabeth Forbes M.D.(Who is still in practice to this day). Sarah married James (Jimmy) Anthony Humbles, and they have two children. Danielle Elizabeth Humbles, and Rachel Humbles.
Then there is me. N. Dawn Imm Howes Karafa. Wow what a long name. I am on my second marriage, but it has been the best relationship I have ever had. I married a very wonderful, attractive, loving man named Chris Karafa. We have four children between the two of us. Victoria (Vicki) Dawn Howes, Marcus (Marc) James Howes III., Brandon Clark Barnes, and Kelsey Melinda Karafa.
My Brother Harry Mack Imm born 06-28-70. Died 06-30-70. Harry was named after both my Grandfathers, Harry Edwin Imm, and Mack Duffie Todd. He is buried at Penn. Memorial Park and Newport News, V.A.
My Husband Chris is from the Chicago Il. area. But we currently live in Newport News, VA. We enjoy the life God has given us, and live as well as we can. We have our own garden where we are growing anything from watermelon to corn, and even onions and beans as well as many other goodies. We also have a flower garden where there is an array of many types of flowers, and we continue to add more.
I started this site, because I am researching my family background. My Father Edwin died on his birthday at the young age of 60. I have quite a bit of information on the Imm Family, but little on the Todd Family.
Regarding the Imm Family: My Grandfather was Harry Edwin Imm, His Father was Edwin Osman Imm, His father was George William Edwin Imm. The Imm's came from Lydney England. George William Edwin Imm married Elizabeth Francis Harris. Edwin Osman Imm married Aida Viola Davis. Harry Edwin Imm married Jeanie Scott (of Ireland). Edwin Osman Imm Sr(my Father) married Nellie Gray Todd.
George William Edwin Imm came to the U.S. in 1882, arriving in N.Y., N.Y. and moved to P.A.
I will add more later, and I hope you enjoy my page. Dawn
