Nancy;
I also have lost a relative in the Marion County Home. Bertha May Coatney
was born March 22, 1887. She married Earl Wells on December 23, 1906. They
had 4 children. She later divorced Earl Wells and had a short marriage with
someone named Baurlie. I have been able to track Bertha from Scottsburg,
Indiana to Glasgow, Kentucky and back to Indiana. Last communication I have
from her is a letter dated October, 1925. This letter is written on
stationary from the Marion County Home. In the letter she described herself
as an unhappy guest in this home. This is the last information I have on
her. I have not been able to find a death date, location, or burial
information. If you are able to find any information on Wilbur Davis please
keep me posted.
Don Coatney

Subject: [MARION COUNTY, IN] Info on Wilbur Davis
Hello to everyone on the list, and hope that someone out there can
help
me.
Am seeking information on a Wilbur Davis who was born in Ironton,
Ohio in
1890. Wilbur married a Florence Rust in Campbell County, Ky., on August
5, 1916.
They lived in Campbell County up until 1930, when Wilbur left. He
was
said
to have gone to Indianapolis and worked as a cook at the Marion
County
Home.
Last letter was in 1957. Trying to find when he died, and where he
is
buried.
Found a Wilbur Marion Davis that died in Hancock County on April 30,
1957,
but am not sure if he is the one or not. It was first thought that he died
sometime in 1964. Any information on Wilbur, or even on the Marion County
Home
would be very much appreciated. Thank You Nancy
