WOW... We are all sure quiet. Everyone must be out doing their Christmas shopping early.... right.... <g> Ok.. have a couple of questions for all of you. There is an Elsee Ivester - b. abt 1917 - daughter of Edward William Ivester and Anthia Dover - from the George Ivester and Nancy Whistenant line thru Pinkney Alston. It appears that she married an "Ivester". Then... there is a Claude L. Ivester - b. 1 Oct 1913 - son of William Henry Ivester and Amanda VanDiver - from the Peter Ivester and Nancy Kinney line. It appears that he married a Elzie Lee Ivester. Is Elsee Ivester and Elzie Lee Ivester the same person??????? Ok.. question number 2: Eliza Ella (Lida) Ivester - daughter of Andrew Alexander Ivester & Elizabeth Ann Franklin - from the William Ivester & Levina Ivester line... Eliza Ella md a John Hugh King and the d. date I have for him is 21 June 1931. I imagine that Janice got this from the tombstone. Unfortunately sometimes tombstones have a problem... <g>. Anyway... in the 1930 census Lida is shown as age 43 and a widow with daughter Agnes and son Robert. Anyone know what his d. date might be???? Thanks and take care - Emma Oh... have fun shopping!!!!!!!

Emma, Here is what I have regarding Question 1: Yes they are Elsie Lee..... Elsie Lee Ivester: b. 14 May 1916, Oglethorpe County, Ga; d. 27 Dec 1989 Stephens County, GA, resided in Habersham County, GA; Buried Mount Zion Bapt Ch Cem. Turnersville, Habersham County, GA; SS#256-19-8227 Issued GA; Georgia Deaths D/C 051032- Age 73 years. d/o Edward William (or Wiley) Ivester and Ianthia "Anthia" Dover; m. 17 Aug 1936 to Claude L. Ivester b. 1 Oct 1913, Habersham County, GA; d 18 Jan 1976 Habersham County, GA; Buried Mount Zion Bapt Ch Cem Turnersville, Habersham County, GA; SS#253-3436040 Issued GA, Georgia Deaths D/C 002022; Age 62 years. s/o William Henry Ivester and Amanda Vandiver. Re. Question 2: Eliza Ella "Lida" Ivester b. 18 Dec 1885 Habersham County, GA; d. 17 May 1981 Gwinnett County, GA; Buried New Liberty Meth Ch Habersham County, GA; SS# 258-16-8409 Issued GA; m. 18 Feb 1912 Decatur County, GA (Decatur Marriage Index) John Hugh King b. 5 May 1885; d. 20 May 1931 Decatur County, GA; Buried Demorest City Cem.; Habersham County, GA. The 1930 Census shows Lida's marital status as M (married). Maybe they were separated or he was sick and in a hospital somewhere. Now a question for you, Where are all her other children who would be younger than Robert and Agnes? I haven't found records of them. Have you? Next: I need to give you corrections on Mattie Mae Ivester (d/o Geo. Washington Ivester, s/o William Craig, s/o George Lester, s/o George,Jr) who married Joe Fred Rider. Joe Fred Rider was b. 4 Jul 1911 Stephens County, GA; d. 14 Aug 1974 Stephens GA; Buried Old Toccoa Bapt Ch Habersham County, GA; SS# 260-52-0776 issued GA. He was the s/o Henry Frederick Rider and Sarah Jane Carter. married:(date and place ?) Mattie Mae Ivester b. 8 Oct 1925 Olney, Graham, TX; d. 19 Jul 2000 Toccoa, Stephens, GA; Buried Old Toccoa Bapt Ch Habersham County, GA; SS#259-54-1033 Issued GA. d/o George Washington Ivester and Emma Stone. You probably know this but in case: Emma remarried after George's death to William McKinley Phillips who outlived her and remarried for a third time after she died. Mattie Mae remarried a Jack Ayers. Her obit does not mention him. Sorry if I gave you wrong info. Hope this helps. BTW did you get the family picture?
