Looking for the George W. Lester family. According to my information George was born 1852
(not sure where) and died about 1898 in Freedom, Owen Co. Indiana. He married Mary
Elizabeth Thomas. She was born 1854 and lived to be about 103 years old, passing away in
about 1957. I have a picture of her that was in the local newspaper stating that she was
100 years old and Owen Co's oldest resident. This picture must have been published in
1954. At that time her name was Mary Schoonover. (I have found information were she
married a man by the name of Silvestr Schoonover,( found in the 1930 census). George
& Mary had seven children that I am aware of. William , Nancy, Lavada, Oliver, James,
Clara, & John. According to some of the boys obit I have been able to acquire, it
lists relatives still living in Martinsville, In. This was in the late 1960's &
early 1970. I would be very interested in any information on this family anyone may have,
or would like to get in touch with !
any living relatives still in the area. Thank You --- Virginia Buck
