An obit was submiited by another list member. But that only posed additional
questions. I have searched the census schedules, and, as you say, these were
of pre-marriage era so very little help there in determining the name of her
husband. It would appear that they had been divorced for several years. If
they had been married and he had died prior to her death, the obit would
have mentioned that fact.
On a hunch I pulled up the Carmacks listed on the 1930 Census for both
Limestone and Morgan Counties of Alabama, hoping to find a male within her
age group that she might have married, but no luck there. I guess I just
have to wait another 20 years for the 1950 census to go public! Well,
actually only about 12 years.
I do appreciate your help.
John

John,
One of the difficulties, as you have found, is the timeframe she was born
and lived. While you can find her in the 1920/30 census this would be
pre-marriage and does not help with finding Carmack or children
information.
Her SSN indicates it was issued in Arkansas but some searches did not turn
up any marriage or birth information in Arkansas, or any other states that
I
glanced at. If I think of something else or run across anything I'll
post.
Have you looked for an obit in her local Texas newspaper?

Ruth,
Thank you for the response regarding my Elizabeth Lewter.
To date I have not been able to locate an obit for her. Being the dau. of
Carl Raymond and June Lewter, she married an unknown Carmack. At some time
they moved to Texas she she died in 2003.
I have absolutely no info on her husband and have done all the suggestions
you made in your posting prior to my posting to the Carmak list.
John

Subject: [CARMACK] Looking for a Carmack family
Dear List Members,
I joined this list in the hope that someone would be able to provide some
information on a Carmack family that has given me no small amount of
problems.
Elizabeth Lewter (born 14 Dec. 1917. Decatur, Morgan County, Alabama;
died
10 June 2003, Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas) married (?) Carmack. No
date of marriage nor any info on him, not even his first name.
They had the following children: James Edward, Phil and Sherry. No
additional info on either of these three children.
I would like to find out the husbands first name, when and where he was
born and died. Where they are buried. A date and place of marriage would
be
nice. Also, any additional info on their children and following
generations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
John
