Hello,
I am looking for info or even a person who may still be living, they would
be in their 80's or early 90's I think... If I am lucky their 70's
In 1926 Margaret (childrens mother) gave the children to the Childrens
Services for placement for what ever reason she living with her Mother ( kids
grandmother ) did not work out, and she was not able to care for them.
Gerald Carter was placed in a childrens home and later moved to Chicago..
I dont know when, this is what I was told.
Albert Carter brother to Gerald was in the same Miami County childrens
home in Ohio ... he served in WW2 in Europe in the army and brought back a war
bride named Marie I think. They lived somewhere in Grass County California back
in the 50s'... He also worked in a gold mine out there. Had children but don't
know how many.
Vesta Carter Passed away in 1986 in Miami County Ohio.
All three children where sibs. They are my grandmothers sibs as well.
Grandmother was adopted but knew her brothers and sisters. I have picture of them all
together. She would have been the baby born 4 yrs after Vesta. My grandmother
was murdered when she was just 31 when my father was only 5 yrs old. so there
is no information about her except in a few photos I received from my
grandfather before he passed away. Any assistance would be great.
These children (my great great uncles) where the children of Firman/Freeman
Preston Carter and Margaret Martin who died in a TB sanitarium in the 50s in
Los Angelus California.
Oh also while the boys where in the Childrens home, they where Visited by
Susan Waterhouse and Grace Smith... Susan raised Vesta and Grace raised my
grandmother Mary Madeline who later married a veterinarian. I believe Preston died
in Toledo Ohio in eather late 40s or early 50s. Vesta married a Tillman I think.
Thankyou
Tonya
