I have little info, but this is what I know: Bessie was the daughter of Charles Franklin Adkins and Hester Ann Gatewood of Missouri. Bessie and her family moved from Texas County, Missouri in the late 1920's and appear on the 1930 Census for Banning City, CA.At some point, Bessie married Robert Fairbairn son of Robert & Barbara (Fairchild) Fairbairn. I do not know if they had any children.Bessie died in Plumas, CA 5/9/1993.I do not have an obituary for her and would like to know what newspaper I should consult to see one was printed. Robert died 10/5/1986 in Fairfield, CA. I do not have his obituary either. Any guidance, help, or connection to this family would be appreciated! Thank you!
