Dear Gibson County, IN researchers:
I am interested in any information on my great-grandmother, Effie Pearl
Bishop Byrd Stevens. Effie Pearl was born 16 April 1877, 1878, or 1879
in Sumner, IL to Benjamin Bishop and Mary Alvis Bishop. Because Benjamin
& Mary are supposed to be buried in Oak Hill Cemetary in Patoka, I'm
assuming the family moved to Gibson Co, IN prior to Effie Pearl's first
marriage.
In 1901, Effie Pearl married a Mr. BYRD and they later had a daughter,
Mary Rebekah. Mr. Byrd died before 14 July 1906, when Effie Pearl married
by great-grandfather, Charles Allen Stevens.
Charles and Effie Pearl had 5 children (including my grandmother) and
then she died 15 March 1922. She is also buried in Oak Hill Cemetary in
Patoka, and I've visited her grave.
Does anyone know Mr. Byrd's first name or his date of death? Does anyone
know when Effie Pearl moved to Gibson County? I would love to hear from
anyone who might connect with this family!
