Roger Scott; Rec'd the following from Russ Zears. JACK.... saw your query on the Peoria rootsweb. You might let Roger Scott have a copy of this. I have a Elmer ESSEX b.abt 1879 resided in SouthBend IN. had one son Lyle ESSEX b.18 Apr.1908; d. 27 Dec.1988.; had one grandson Jack ESSEX b. abt 1928 in S.Bend, IN.; I believe Lyle died in Montana. at least his Social Security Number was issued there. Don't know much about marriages except Elmer 2nd married Eldora ZEARS abt 1910. Both Elmer and Eldora are buried in S. Bend, IN. I have not explored this line but would like to learn more if either of you have anything. RUSS [email protected] Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
