Looking for descendents of Walter M. & Georgette (Bence) Marsh. Walter was born Nov
1899 in Groverstown, Starke Co., IN. About 1909, Walter moved to Chicago to live with his
brother Floyd (b. July 1887 - d. 1948), after his mother, Clara (Shafer) Marsh. His
father, Fredrick Marsh, stayed in Starke Co., IN - remarried by 1920 and died there.
Walter married Georgette Bence about 1934, after her first husband (August Winkeler or
Winkler) died. After getting married, Walter & Georgette moved to Louisville,
Jefferson Co., KY and ran a restaurant called "Triangle Restaurant" at 1605
Bardstown Road. They lived there until about 1938. From there, they moved to Westport,
Decatur Co., IN and resided on a farm until it was sold in 1948. Their where abouts after
that is unknown.
Walter had two children from a previous marriage:
-- son, Walter Marsh born on 9 Dec 1921 in Chicago, IL
-- daughter, Awvergne Marsh born on 25 July 1924 in Chicago, IL.
I have no record of the son, Walter after 1930. The daughter, Awvergne married Herman
Gettle on 31 July 1947 in Indianapolis, Marion Co., IN.
Any one have additional information, please contact me at: jmarcrum(a)cinci.rr.com
Thanks, Belinda
