Joyce, I have a Belle Stropes 7/23/1862 d. 12/4/1896 that had as her SECOND HUSBAND Fremont Poore 1856-1934. They are buried at Winchester Cemetery. I got this information from the tombstone. I don't know who her first husband was. She married Fremont supposeably 12/22/1892 but I haven't verified that. Maybe she remarried after her your JOLLY person?????? She was 34 when she died. So if you ever find children for them, please let me know or if you ever discover her parents. Otherwise, All I know is the POOR side of the family.
