Kim. Thank you! I do have a few corrections (not to be rude). According to Alabama death records Aunt Lenora Ann SHREVE Bell died 27 January 1944 (an obituary would be the best way to clear-up these two differences in years). My great grandmother is/was Ina Esten WILLIAMS Shreve, not Esther. Their children were: Mary Will Shreve, Joseph Edward Shreve, William Clement Shreve, & Ina Esten Shreve. Grandmother Shreve, as I call my great grandmother, passed-away 03 November 1960 in San Diego (Grandfather Shreve moved them all out there, except Aunt Elizabeth, after the boweevil desimated his cotton crop, & he left the family hardware store in charge of Uncle James William Shreve & one of his sons-either James or John). Uncle Hilliard did marry, to a Lillith -?-, will have to ask Cousin Debbie when & her surname. Aunt Edith was married to a -?- Logan before marrying Uncle Jesse. Uncle Jesse was found dead 09 October 1939 after commiting suicide (was to spend 3-5 for mail fraud).
