Was the 2nd wife news to you? I have been surprised a couple times to find a 2nd wife, usually entering the picture late in life.
ReplyDeleteWendy, I did not know about the second wife & still do not know her name.
DeleteSo this is one of those lines that makes us cousins. I copied the Obit to my database referencing your blogpost as the source.
ReplyDeleteI know his mother was Alice L Brock but I do not know her parents. I have no information on her besides her name & husband, Ed Wesley Pierce.
DeleteArlie and Lyda Pierce were my grandparents.
