Who is this This is person is buried in the South Union Baptist Church Cemetery in Oconee Co., SC. They are buried next to William D. Ivester and Emma Ansley. STANCIL, Verno, b.22-mar-1905, d.15-july-1934, next to william d & emme e ivestor We have a Verna as a child for them (based on name in census records as best we could read it) and it would appear this would be her. However, I had a possible name for her husband as Burdette. Is Burdette wrong? Is Stancil correct? Was she married twice? And I guess the other question should be is this a daughter of William and Emma as it might appear? Thanks all - Emma
Hi Emma, Well here's the scoop. William D. Ivester and Emma Ansley Ivester had twins, Verna and Verno.. They are listed on the 1910 Stephens County Census, as sons, Verne and Verno, ages 4 (E.D.144 Image 20). Then on the 1920 Census in Oconee County, SC only Verna, daughter, age 15 appeared with the family(E.D.133 Image 14). Since they were so young, I assumed that the other twin had died. Well guess what? Verno also a female does appear on the 1920 Census Oconee County, SC (E.D.133 Image 10) married to a Bob Stancil, age 19, She is listed as Vino, age 15. She and her husband are listed again on the 1930 Oconee County, SC Census (E.D. 2 Image 37) this time her name is spelled Vano. So she is the Verno Stancil that is buried next to William and Emma. Verna, the other twin, is listed on the Florida Deaths Index D/C# 49893 as Viola Verna Burdette; she died 26 Jun 1978 in Pasco County, FL. Both twins were born 22 Mar 1905 in Georgia. This should teach me not to assume. Edna ENC6@aol.com wrote:Who is this This is person is buried in the South Union Baptist Church Cemetery in Oconee Co., SC. They are buried next to William D.
