This is all I know about my CENTER family starting with my
grandfather:
1. MOODY Center July 15, 1915 Nov. 24, 1945. Born
and raised in Stanton, KY, (Powell County) his death certificate
shows that when he died, he lived in Powell Co. and died in
Clark Co., (Winchester) from injuries due to a car accident
age 30. It lists his parents as being JONATHON D. CENTER
and MARGARET CENTER ( both from Wolfe Co., KY). It
also shows a PEARL CENTER as being his wife but my uncle,
MOODYs son, says that PEARL is actually his sister and that
when he died, he was married to my grandmother, THERESIA
POWELL.
2. MOODY married my grandmother, THERESIA POWELL
in 1937 (confirmed). She was born and raised in Stanton also
and the marriage took place somewhere in Powell Co city
unknown. They had two sons, SHERLEY Clay CENTERS,
my uncle, and JERREL HENRY CENTER, my father. Notice
one is CENTERS and the other CENTER. I dont know why.
3. My uncle Clay also said that MOODY had a brother named
KASH or CASH. I dont know how it was spelled. The
KASH/CASH related to my family had a few run-ins with the
law, and may have done some jail or prison time. My uncle also
remembers a GOLDIE but doesnt remember what the relation
was.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks, Lisa Center
