Barb, My first question to you would be, "Are you a member of Ancestry?" If not, then I wonder if you have looked in any of the census records. That's where I would start. I find Perry E. Smith, 44, and wife Etta P., 39, in District 36 of Bedford Township, Calhoun County, Michigan in the 1930 census. In that census it does not say how long they were married---only how old they were when they FIRST got married (not necessarily to each other). This census says that Perry was married first at 21, and has an unknown mark to Etta. BOTH are listed as having been born in Kentucky along with ALL parents. He is a machinist working in a machine shop, owns his house, worth about $4000 and has a radio. Two children are living with them. There is no indication of any "step" but they have the last name of Smith. They are "Junior F.", 18 years old, born in OHIO, and Pearl F., 15 years old and born in INDIANA. I'll look and see if I see them in any other records, and I'm sure other people might help you look too.

Cheryl, Oh my gosh, I guess I hadn't thought they were in Michigan yet in 1930. I got his SS application from 1936, and it had him living in LaPorte, IN!! And he remodeled his home in Indianapolis in 1926 from a newspaper article I was able to find. I've never found any marriages for he and Etta. I was told that she was perhaps a neighbor of his in Indianapolis, but of course, no Etta to be found in 1920 anywhere nearby his home. However, even though they changed all the last names to Smith, I'm sure the children's first names are probably accurate. Now I will go back to Indianapolis and look for them that way in the census. I'm just dizzy with all this new information!! Thanks so much!! Barb --- Cheryl <cheryl@waterman.net> wrote: > Barb, > > My first question to you would be, "Are you a member > of Ancestry?"

Hello List!! I'm new to the list, and hoping you can help me. It's a long story, and an even longer search I've been on. I have finally found where my grandfather is buried, and got copies of his death certificate & obituary, along with his wife. I know for a fact he changed his name, and I am fairly certain she did too. "Perry Smith" was my grandfather. "Etta" was the love of his life. They lived in Battle Creek, and passed away in 1964 & 1965. Their obituaries mention her children from a former marriage. Following is Etta's obituary: Mrs. Etta P.[Pearl] Smith, 71, wife of Perry E. Smith of 28 Sylvan Drive, died unexpectedly this morning at the residence. She was found dead, lying on a davenport in the living room, by her husband at about 8 a.m. She had been under treatment by a physician for high blood pressure but had not appeared critically ill. She was born March 8, 1893, at Cleveland, Ohio, a daughter of William and Florence (Ringer) Wiley, and had been a Battle Creek resident since 1925. She and Mr. Smith were married Sept. 28, 1925. She was a member of Bedford Chapter, OES. Her survivors include two children by a previous marriage, Floyd France of 131 Hussey Ave and Mrs. Maurice (Pearl) Seaman of Wolverine; two stepdaughters, Mrs. Robert (Delores) Suhre of Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs George (Gwendola) Hadley of Fort Wayne, Ind.; three brothers, Harry Wiley of Indianapolis, Claude and John Wiley of Florida, five grandchildren and nine step-grandchildren. Perry's obituary is somewhat the same, but has some major differences, like, oh, Etta's last name, and when/where they were married: Perry E. Smith, 85, of 131 Hussey Ave., died early this morning in a local hospital where he had been a patient 11 days. Mr. Smith was born Sept. 19, 1879, in Indianapolis, Ind., son of Jasper and Missouri (LaMasters) Smith. After his first wife's death, he later was married to Etta Pearl Lockhart, in 1933, in Angola, Ind. She died May 21, 1964. Mr. Smith was employed for many years by the former Advance Rumely Co. here and then at the company's Ft. Wayne plant, now owned by Allis Chalmers Co. He retired in 1945. Mr. Smith was a life member of Bedford Lodge No. 207, F&AM. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. George (Gwendola) Hadley of Ft. Wayne, and Mrs. Robert (Doloras) Suhre of Garden Grove, Fla.; a step-daughter, Mrs. Maurice (Pearl) Seaman of Wolverine, Mich., a stepson, Floyd France of the Hussey Avenue address. After his retirement, Mr. Smith worked for Mr. France in the rug-cleaning business known as VanDeusen Carpet Cleaners. Also surviving are 10 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. I guess I am hoping to find someone who can help shed some light on who Etta was. If anyone knows any of her children's family, perhaps they may have some photos, maybe some papers . . . heck, maybe they are trying to find the ancestors of Perry Smith!! So please, if you can shed some light, it would be most appreciated!! Barb ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.
