Any help appreciated.
Wesley Adams Stephens/Stevens was born 28 February 1872
Pattonsburg, Davies County, MO. Son of Hiram Stephens and Lucretia
Vanover/Best. Great grandson of Moses Stephens Jr and Malinda Ross
Married Viaretta May Neal, later divorced.
Wesley died 31 January 1928, Colfax, WA.
Death certificate states buried 2 February, 1928, Colfax, WA.
Death certificate had last name spelled Stevens.
Also had listed Bessie Stevens as wife.
Death certificate states he lived 6 months previously at Lewiston,
ID
Believed that Bessie had been married previously and name was
FRENCH.
Believed she had son by her first marriage, TOM FRENCH.
Believed he was the same Tom French that had married Wesley's
daughter Mamie Stephens.
Believe Wesley and Bessie married just before or shortly after
Mamie's
death.
Had been general laborer, and died of cancer of liver.
Looking for Wesley's brother William Stephens/Stevens born about 1866/67 MO
had lived in Coerd'Lane and Wallace ID in 1920's William's middle name
possibly Ellsworth. married an Elizabeth or Amanda Wood.
Brother John Stephens/Stevens born about 1870 Mo tended bar in
Spokane WA about 1920's. May have gone by name of James Wesley, or John
Wesley.
may have married Elizabeth Lawson, Elberta Lawson.
Any help appreciated. If anyone has or does search of cemeteries of
Colfax, WA, and Lewiston, ID also would be appreciated
