First of all a big THANK YOU to Brian Smead who helped me locate the marriage information
for Bertha A. Jones.
I was able to order the Marriage license & application from Allen county. she does
indeed turn out to be my g-grandma'a sister. It turns out that the Marriage to John
B. Boitet 7 dec 1915 was her 2nd rather than her 1st marriage. I does not state what her
first married name was. It did say that the divorce from her first marriage was apr 191?
9it looked like 1915 but that would be after the date the document was made I think it
could be 1913 or even 1910?)
I have tried in vain to locate her and her sister with their family on the census.
Louis or Lewis or Luther Jones deceased btwn 1907-1915
Amanda (keemray, Kemray or Kemr?y) deceased bef.1907
Bertha A. Jones born 20 Mar 1887, indiana
Dessa May Jones born 30 Aug 1889, N. Manchester, Wabash, IN
I did however find a Bertha A. Wilcoxon listed as a sister in law to a family in 1910 in
Peru township, Miami county, IN. I find this interesting because Dessa married and
divorced a Wilcoxon also--so I wonder if this might be my bertha a. jones:
Venable Morris (HH)
Mary E. Morris (wife)
Raymond JONES (brother in law) age 17
Bertha A. Wilcoxon (sister in law) age 29, divorced no kids
Dessie E. Toothman (niece)
Any suggestions would be appreciated
thank you,
