I have the pension file for her husband Merida C. Brackett. Their daughter Celia later married Gorden Messer (no relation to Telitha Messer that I know of). Celia and Gordon had a son, Pallis Messer who later married Ellen Centers. Gorden and Celia are listed as the parents of Pal Messer on the marriage certificate. Pal and Ellen were my great great grandparents.
