Hello... Help! PLEASE. Looking for info on BELLE MARTIN who married Luther PROFFER,1920. Her husband Luther was killed [shot] by his nephew John Proffer Jr, in 1937. I have newspaper info concerning his death and the circumstances surrounding it, but can't locate anything on BELLE, she is not mentioned in the newspaper info. What little info I have on her is that after her husband's death she became so distraught she had to be hospitalized and during that time her children were placed in foster care. Later she got all of them back but 2 sons, "Leroy & Robert"...... I'm "assuming" BELLE remarried as she would have been in her early 30's when her husband died. After she married at 14/15yrs old in Calhoun Co she and her husband Luther moved to Madison Co. Is where they were living when he was killed. Her mother was Lizzie Thomas-MARTIN. BELLE lived mostly [till she married] with her aunt Abbie Boyer and uncle Walter Boyer of Hardin, shown living with them in the 1920 census. R.
