Linda,
Hello ! My name is Rosalie Adkins. I reside in Hartford City,Blackford county,In.
I've been messing around to see if I could locate any info for you on Rosemary. Do
you have a copy of her dad's obit,there wasn't one listed on the Muncie GenLibrary
site.
Was just curious to see if she might have been listed in his obit as a survivor.
I've found death dates for most of her siblings,doubt if their obits would help since
their deaths were after Helen's.
There has been a different lady's name listed as the mother of some of these
children,do you know about this. I'd have to go back and find her name again.
With the date of the marriage to Horace,1949,census records wouldn't help locate any
further info on Rosemary.
Do you have a copy of the obit for Horace or know where he is buried ? I've seen in
past research where first wives are sometimes buried with their first husband's even
if the husband had re-married,his 2nd wife had even been buried with the family. Not
saying this is the case,just checking on all possibilities.
At this point in time,the only other option I can think of is to find out the last
time-line and location Rosemary & Horace were listed on city/county directories. A lot
of the public libraries or genealogical society's have these directories. I'd
start with Muncie to see if they stayed in the area after their marriage and maybe for how
long. This might give you a place to starting point to maybe look for a divorce or maybe
another marriage record for Rosemary.
The only other option I can think of is for you to contact the Beechgrove Cemetery,there
in Muncie,where Thomas & Helen are buried,maybe they would have a way of checking
their records to find out if maybe Rosemary is listed in their cemetery records under a
different last name. I'd start out with her maiden name then the surname Lawrence. I
even found info where this family was listed under "Laurence".
If you could check Birth Records,starting in Muncie,to find out if Rosemary & Horace
had any children,then maybe you could track down the children and maybe find her that
way.
Just throwing some ideas back at you that maybe you want to check on.
I had a friend of mine check Ancestry,nothing showed up there either.
I've checked Rootsweb,LDS Family Search,Find-a-Grave,etc., came up empty on all
these.
I really tried to help on this search,would have been nice if I could have found something
for you.
