I've "rescued" an old birth announcement for Marjorie BAYLESS who was born
15 Jan 1911 to parents Mr. & Mrs. Orvis BAYLESS. The announcement was mailed
from Alexandria, Indiana to Mrs. J. M. Barnhart in Fairmount, IN and was
addressed "Dear Mother". Based on limited research and thanks to the
assistance of a BAYLESS family researcher I was able to gather the following
information regarding the family:
Marjorie B. BAYLESS b. 15 Jan 1911 in Indiana died in Marion, IN on 21 Mar
1999. Marjorie was the daughter of Hurley Orvis BAYLESS (b. 5 Mar 1883 in
Grant Co. IN) and Mary B. or G. BARNHART (b. Oct 1884-1938). This couple
had three children including, Bertha Avis; Beatrice; and Marjorie BAYLESS,
born between 1906 and 1911.
Hurley Orvis BAYLESS was living in Huntington, IN during the WW2 draft.
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious old
document can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
