Dear Listers, I have been watching this list for a couple of months now and have decided to post my story hoping that someone will be able to help.... My father Kenneth Cecil Glasscock aka Kenneth Edward Glasscock married my mother in 1941 in Kansas. In 1944 he left us (my mother, brother & I along with his parents) and to my knowledge was not heard from again. At least not until the Soc. Sec. Adm. contacted my mother that he had died in Downey, California on July 15, 1957. Several years ago I decided to try to find out all I could about him. He was born on July 1, 1900 in LeRoy Coffey Cnty., Kansas. He had no siblings. In my quest for information I have obtained the following: death certificate, pictures of his grave in Whittier,original social security application. His death certificate listed a wife Marcelyne. The address at his death was 9050 Raebert St., Downey, Ca. In writing and phoning the cemetery I found that he is buried by Marcelyne's parents John Warren and Mayme Staley Hill. There was an empty space for Marcelyne. She purchased the grave plot. Then I found that Marcelyne had died Dec. 8, 1991. An angel on the Southern California mail list pulled her death information and sent it to me. She was cremated and the ashes buried in Santa Ana. She died in Huntington Beach, California. Her last address was Scandia Mobile Country Club. I contacted Scandia and talked with the lady who is the manager. She had known Marcelyne and gave me what little info she could. In this info was the fact that Marcelyne had a son, probably also Kenneth's. The sad part is that he and his mother had had a "falling out" several years before her death and he hadn't had any more contact with her. Apparently he was so upset with her that he took her maiden name, HILL. He called Scandia when he found out about her death. At that time he was living in Santa Ana and had 2 small children. I have no idea what his first name would be and if in fact he is going by Hill. I have not idea when or where this son was born. I would like to be able to contact him as he is probably the last person who knew our father. In my search I have found an older half brother that is now living in Indiana. Our families have met and we are all very delighted to have had the chance to meet and get to know each other. We are making plans for another reunion in 2000. We have come to the conclusion that good things do come out of bad situations. Any information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Pat Souders Osage Beach, Mo.
