The family surname is Castle. James Castle, my mothers great uncle, was deaf and mute. Please google his art. His drawings are quite unique and very valuable. He lived in Idaho and would spend his time in an old shed, drawing with charcoal from the fire. His artwork consisted of people without ears, due to the fact that he was deaf. I think his life story is very interesting and would also like to hear from anyone who has seen his artwork or heard his life story. Please contact me at [contact link]. Sincerely, Sharon De Varona
