Lester, I have looked and looked for Ida Pearl, but under the married name DANCER. She came from a large family. Her father was first married to Idah Narcissa Davis from Hardeman Co TN. THey moved to Randolph Co AR where Ida Pearl was born. It appears her mother died in or as a result of childbirth. Her father was Francis Marion Gardner of NC to MS. He had 5 children by his first wife and many more by his second(who also died) and then several more by his third, who also died. He then died 2 days after she. There was an epidemic in Perry Co around1912. I am very interested in Ida and her family! I have lots and lots of info on the Gardners, but do not have the names Seay or Brand in my files.
