According to the Social Security Death Index, Frances V. Crenshaw, born 2 Dec 1892 died in May 1977 with a last known residence in Moody, McLennan Co, TX. The Texas Death Index sets death date as 15 May 1977. I believe this to be the dau of John Vanek and Veronica Kulak. In the 1900 census she is enumerated with her family with a birth date of Dec 1892. Obituaries for two of her siblings include Mrs. Frances Crenshaw of Moody as a survivor. What Crenshaw did she marry? Did they have any children?
On 4 Jan 1922 a marriage license was issued in McLennan Co to Francis Vanek and M. T. Coffer. I believe they were married at St. Mary's in West. In 1930, Frances is enumerated with her parents as Frances Cofer with two children, Edvin (Jack?) age 7 and Lucile (Lucy) age 5. Marriage status is divorced. What happened to Edvin and Lucille? What happened to M. T. Coffer? Who was M. T. Coffer?
I checked the Waco paper on microfilm for a week or so after her death date but could find no obit. Guess I could have missed it. As of May 15 the death certificate passed the 50 year mark and may be accessible.
Any help would be appreciated.
