Hello - this is cross-posted to both Henry and Rush Co., IN Lists.
I have a big gap in one of my family's lines. My grandfather's brother
was Harvey B. Walls, son of William Franklin Walls and Josie Elizabeth
Benbow. He was born in Henry Co., IN June 8, 1882 and died between
1954-1956 in Knightstown, IN. He is buried in Rushville, IN but I do not
know what cemetery. The family lived at 237 North Franklin Street,
Knightstown. Harvey Walls married Blanche Hunt sometime around
1900-1905. I understand that her family was from Lewisville, Henry
County, IN, 9 miles to the east of Knightstown, in Franklin Township. I
have a photograph of Blanche and what appear to be two of her sisters. I
do not know Blanche's parents names. Blanche and Harvey Walls had two
children, James and Elizabeth. I do not have birth dates for them and
don't think they are still living and don't think they had any
descendants, although they both married. I would appreciate any
information on James and Elizabeth as well. I think James' wife moved to
St. Cloud, Florida. I don't know about Elizabeth's husband's identity at
all.
Questions: 1. Who were the parents and siblings of Blanche Hunt? 2.
What were Jim's and Elizabeth's birthdates and who did they marry and
when? 3. What cemetery and burial date is there for Harvey Walls in
Rushville, IN?
Thanks,
Tim Walls
