Bob I think it was her second marriage when she married Vallie Cross. I think this is her first marriage. The actual image of Certificate says both were living in Eldorado, Saline, IL.

Mrs. Cross was born Sept. 25, 1897, the daughter of Charles and Addle (Foster) Featherstone. She married Vallie Cross, who preceded her in death. Survivors include a son, Dwight of St. Louis; four grandchildren; a great- grandchild; two sisters, Delaine Chastain of Orange, Calif, and Edith Hill of Elgin; and a brother, Edward of Florida. > >Does anyone know for sure what Stella's maiden name was? This has her name as Stella Irene Ashley and married once. Does that mean she had been married once before or this is her first marriage? It has her father as Monroe Bennett, so it is confusing as to what her maiden name was. Also if she had been married once, had Vallie been married twice before? > >Does anyone know anything els about Stella? > >Bob > >-----Original Message----- >From: Larry Lance <[email protected]> >To: ilfrankl <[email protected]> >Sent: Wed, Mar 26, 2014 1:43 pm >Subject: Re: [ILFRANKL] Wilburn Vallie Jasper Cross 1896 1962 (ADDL) > > >Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959 for Vallie N Cross > >Groom: Vallie N Cross >Groom's Race: White >Groom's Date of Birth: 15 Dec 1897 >Groom's Place of Birth: Sesser, , Illinois >Groom's Residence: Detroit, , Michigan >Groom's Number of Marriage: twice >Groom's Father: J L Cross >Groom's Mother: Mary Hamonds >Bride: Stella Irene Ashley >Bride's Race: White >Bride's Date of Birth: 19 Apr 1901 >Bride's Place of Birth: Tracy City, , Tennessee >Bride's Residence: Eldorado, , Illinois >Bride's Number of Marriage: once >Bride's Father: Monroe Bennett >Bride's Mother: Rachel Irene Posey >Informant Name: >Date of License: 16 Oct 1934 >County of License: Elkhart >Date of Marriage: 16 Oct 1934 >Place of Marriage: , Elkhart, Indiana >Official: >Record Number: >Film Number: 1845573 >Digital Folder Number: 4540498 >Image Number: 00412 >Number of Images: 1 > >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >[mailto:[email protected]] >On Behalf Of [email protected] >Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 12:52 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [ILFRANKL] Wilburn Vallie Jasper Cross 1896 1962 > > >Full Name WILBURN VALLIE JASPER CROSS > >The Mt Vernon Register-News, Saturday, May 26, 1962; Vallie Cross, >Former Sesser Resident, Dies Vallie Cross, 66, died at 3:00 a.m. today >at his home in Anna.
