Message Board Post:
I am seeking information about Elsie A. Palmer, daughter of Blaney Palmer JR and Flora
Belle Hess of Ripley County IN.
She had an older brother, Coy, and they were placed in an orphanage around 1897/1900 in
Alton IL. She was 7 years at the time of the 1900 US Census.
I seem to recall, from long ago family discussions, someone mentioning that in the 1920s
Coy had moved from IL to IN and breifly lived in Muncie IN before he and his family moved
to Daviess County IN. It was said, in those discussions, that Elsie A. had also lived in
Muncie IN ... and that she had married but my memory is unclear on if she married someone
from Muncie (therefore remained living there) or what.
I do know that she did not live in the same town as Coy later moved to in Daviess County
... but the trail apparently goes cold around the 1920/1930 time period on Elsie A. Palmer
but I do know she was alive in the early 1930s (also gleamed from past family
discussions). Coy died in the mid-1930s.
