Hello Lena,
yes, that's Vincent's mother.
Just at the moment I am searching for Marilyn VanCleave. I send your mail to
Brenda Johnston-Mitchell, she was it who took photos of the headstones on
the cemetery and she has contact to the caretaker there. I thank you very
much for the tip! It seems to be possible, that Marilyn is Vincent's wife.
If Vincent's wife died some weeks before him it could explain why we do not
know anything of her. As soon as I have news I let it you know.
Ursula

Betreff: Re: [INTIPPEC] HELP to search for my husband's half
Ursula, It looks like there is a woman named Marilyn Lee Scott VanCleave who
is buried next to Vincent in Spring Vale Cemetery. She also died in 1969 in
Illinois. Bureau County is where she died and it is next to LaSalle County
where Vincent died. Could this be his wife? I will try to look in Tippecanoe
County and see if there is a marriage for him in Lafayette, but it will be a
few weeks before I will be able to go to the place where the records are
kept because it is open when I am at work.
Is this Vincent's mother?
Scott, Mrs. Pearl A. died - 8 May 1927

Hello,
I urgently need help to search my husbands half sister.
That's my story:
We are a German family with two grown up children.
My husband, Wolfgang Liphardt is born 1946 in Germany as a
son of an
American soldier in World War II. His father is
Vincent B. SCOTT from
Lafayette, Indiana. His mother was not married with his
father. Vincent
SCOTT leaves Germany before my husband got born. He gave my
mother-in-law
his address in Lafayette, IN, and his original dog tag with
army serial
number. The address was correct, but letters got not
answered.
My husband raised up as an only child in a very small
family (grandmother,
mother, son) without other family members!
There was no contact between his German and his American
family until
December 2009. At that time I found on the web side "Find a
grave" a photo
of Vincent Scott's grave. He died 1969.
That was the begin of a new part in our life. We got
contact to our
wonderful new American family. Vincent SCOTT had a lot of
siblings and there
are much family members still alive. So are three sisters
of Vincent alive!
The problem is, Vincent's mother died in 1927 and the 6
children where
separated in 3 families for raise up. Each one does not
really know much
from the other siblings.
Now to the problem I contact you:
Vincent SCOTT had a daughter, my husbands half sister.
We have no idea how we can find her. Vincent was married
and came in
divorce. In this marriage he got a daughter and all we know
is her name
Allison (Alison, Alycen???). We don't know the name of his
wife or the date
of their marriage. They came in divorce and he got
married a second time,
but this wife (her name was Thelma, Zelma?) died even
before him.
We searched in online available records without result.
Do you know a possibility for genealogical research?
We are thankful for every tip what help to find Allison.
Here the data:
Vincent Boyd SCOTT
Born September 10, 1924, Lafayette, Indiana
Death October 13, 1969, Peru, Peoples Hospital
Residences:
Lafayette, IN
Ft. Hayes, Columbus, OH
Hawaiian Department
Cincinnati, OH (Lived with his first wife in Ohio, probably
in Cincinnati.)
Since 1956 he lived in Peru County, Illinois
Last residence: Standard, Putnam, Illinois
Buried in Lafayette, Indiana, Spring Vale Cemetery
Army serial number: 15332135 (at the date of enlistment,
Nov. 29, 1946 he
was married)
Member of:
Eagles Lodge
VFW
Schuyler Avenue Wesleyan Church, Lafayette
Co-owner of Cabin-Scotty's Tavern in Standard, IL
At the moment we are on an endpoint of researches.
Who can help us to search for my husbands half sister?
I am sure Allison does not know of Wolfgang's existence.
She is an only
child like he and they both will be happy get to know the
other one.
My husband Wolfgang's big hope is to get known his sister
and to take her
in his arms.
Thank you very much for your aid. It would be wonderful to
get an answer.
If someone of you needs help by searching his German
ancestors, please let
it me know!
Kind regards
Ursula Liphardt
