Thanks again! I've never heard of her referred to as Altha Fay, but again I will have to check. Luckily a razor sharp minded daughter of hers remains. ;) ...two actually.
Interestingly, Mary Ethel is French's daughter from his first marriage to Dixie Grimsley.

I believe you are right that Altha was not married before she married French Robbins. After more research and consulting with another researcher, we now believe that Altha Chumbley was Altha Fay Chumbley, the daughter of William T. Chumbley and Nora Agness Stevens. She was the sister of Jerry Robert Chumbley who married Mary Ethel Robbins on 15 May 1925 in Chillocothe, Livingston Co., MO. French was about 25 years older than Altha. Altha is shown in the 1910 Livingston Co., MO, census as Alpha Chumbley, and she is shown in the 1920 census as Fay A Chumbley. On those censuses you can find her parents, brothers, and sisters. Missouri Marriage Records 1805-2002 show William T. Chumbley of Grundy Co., MO, married Nora A. Stevens of Livingston Co., MO, on 25 Feb 1894 in Livingston Co., MO. You are correct about Waneta. She was Juanita Robbins and married a Vance. She is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery Chillocothe, Livingston Co., MO, as are Sallie M. Robbins (married Mario!
n L. Barnett) and Octavie Robbins Pile (sisters of French), and Clarance J. Robbins and Russell D. Robbins (sons of French). We hope that this information will be helpful.

Thanks! I don't think she was previously married, but that is interesting, I will have to find out for sure. Also, Robert L. was born 11/28/30, and Waneta is spelled Oneta "Jaunita".

Marriage record for French M. Robbins and MRS. Alta Chumbley on 15 July 1926, Chillocothe, Livingston, MO. Since she is shown as MRS., it would see to indicate that she had been previously married to a Chumbley. French M. and Altha C. are both buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Breckenridge, Caldwell Co., MO. They had children: Veda (c.1925), Robert L. (C.1931), Russell (C.1933), Jo Anne (C.1935), and Waneta (C. 1940).

Helen Chumbley
LaVerne Chumbley
