How I wound up with one half of an obituary I'll never know, but I'm hoping someone can explain the connection "Mrs. Emma Belle Ricketts, age 73, of Warren, died Wednesday at the Bradley Co. Mem. Hospital. She was the daughter of Charles G. and Nettie L. Hickman McClain, and was born in Bradley Co., August 9, 1909." Does anyone know a DOD for Emma? Is this the same Emma that was married to Cason E. Clanton? Jann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

This is not my line directly, but I have may have a litte.. Emma Belle McClain Clanton Ricketts: * The SS Death Index shows her death as Apr 1982 * If she died on Wednesday (obit) then it would 14 April 1982 for DOD. * She was born on 9 August 1909 in likely River Township as they are there on the 1910 census. This would make her at death 72 yrs 8 months and 5 days. * I "THINK" her 1st husband was Kenneth Edward "Cason" Clanton who died 30 April 1969 at 60 yrs 3 months and 3 days. He was referred by both names. * I "THINK" her 2nd husband was Louis Ricketts. I have no information except it has been noted his DOB was 14 December 1919 and DOD as 09 Feb 1996. Source: SS Death Index. This may not be the correct person. * In regards to her mother Nettie Lee Hickman McClain she is listed on the Bradley site in the document "SON OF THE DARK CORNER", by Henry Carl Hickman, Nettie Lee Hickman McClain (1871-1916) was the daughter of Louisa E.J. Hickman (1845-1895). So Nettie Lee, (Mrs. Charles George McClain) was about 38 when she had Emma Bell. Her sister, Nellie Blanch McClain, wife of Frank Guice, son of Joseph "Josiah and Salley Elizabeth "Sally" Nichols Guice connect to my line as Sally's brother was the father of my grandmother. Please correct any mistakes here. Thanks.
