After reading the obits you sent (the photos you sent were great, BTW), I agree that Otis had to have been son of William and Susan. I apologize. I jumped to the wrong conclusion from that census record. From the late death date for Susan COVEY COVEY, it seems like it "should" be easy to obtain info on her parents from a death record, IF, one of her children knew it to tell the authorities. I am very intrigued about the possibilities here. Do you happen to know which dau of William COVEY and Fanny Adelia WELLS married George MILLER? I keep coming across odds and ends on these families as I dig through my notes. I have one note from Mooers Forks that says on 18 jan 1892 Cora Mildred MORRISON was b. to Florian MORRISON (must be Floyd), age 24, farmer, b. Mooers & Emogene COVEY MORRISON, mother, age 21, b. Mooers, having two previous children, 3 in all. Another with 2 July 1896, Thomas Atkinson, aged 79 of Franklin County, b. Lancestershire Co, England to Leo ATKINSON & Elinor BROWN (his 3rd marr), and Mary Ann MORRISON (her 2nd marriage), aged 46 b. Franklin County to John COVEY and Roxana HUNTER, by J.W. Hoyt. 6 May 1903 Hazel M. COVEY b. to Elmira and James COVEY 15 Mar 1899 _____ COVEY, born to James COVEY aged 37, b. Canada and Elmira, aged 39, b. VT, having 6 prev children, with 5 alive. 14 Dec 1908 death of James COVEY age 45 s/o John COVEY and Roxanna HUNTER - cause: anasarca (?), buried in Ellenburg.
