    3. Thought I might ask for some help in identifying a possible relative. Maurice Roach, born 16 Sept.1899 died Aug 1968 in zip code for EDEN N.C. according to the Social Security Death Index. What makes me think that this is the one I'm looking for is that his card was issued in Michigan. I had a great aunt Vera Turner who was married to Maurice Roach who was from N.C. He worked in Flint Michigan at one of the auto factorys. They use to come visit my grandmother about ever two years. He would take a leave and do the tent and home revivals through this area. I think I rember him being some sort of preacher. Vera died in the late forties or early fifties. I think she was still in Flint Mich. at that time. I remember her death but can't remember. They had no children. Just this past week I learned she had a previous marriage in 1917 at the age of 14. Do not know what happened to the first husband or where she married Maurice. Maurice came by a few times after the death of his wife Vera. The last contact was in 1961. I would appreciate if some one could help me unraveling this mystery. I'm trying to see if I can find a paper that might have an obit in it. thanks for your help Bob Hamilton
