I am new to the list because I want to find out
what happened to some of the members of my BENNETT
family. In the Indiana births, 1880-1920, I found
three GRIMES children born in Orange County whose
mother was listed as Leona BENNETT.
Of course I am wondering if this Leona is the
Leona that I have in my family. "My" Leona Lillian
BENNETT was born 23 Jan. 1893, probably in Allen Co.,
OH, the daughter of Herbert/Bert BENNETT and his wife,
Rose SWANK. But the family was living in Marion, Grant
Co., IN, in 1901 when Herbert, a machinist, died. And
I have yet to learn what happened to his widow Rose,
or to Leona or an older daughter, Louella, born in
1892.
Now the three children of Thomas (Luther?) GRIMES
and his wife Leona BENNETT are recorded in Orange Co.
births, Vol. 1, H-10 and H-15. May was born 31 May 11,
Wm. Lonzo on 18 July 1912, and Doris on 18 Feb. 1914.
Does anyone on the Orange list know about this
family and could shed light on this Leona's parents?
All help appreciated, Corban Goble, Bowling Green, KY.
