Surnames: Beasley, Vanover, Jackson, Woolsey, Palmer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EZB.2ACE/666.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you so much! Here are the answers as much as I can figure out: 1. When did Burton Beasley live in Tulsa? I don't yet know. I would need to check city directories. It might have been in the 1940s, 50s, 60s. His older sister, my great-grandmother was there in the late 1930s, and early 40s. Her name was Zena, her first husband was Charles Woolsey, and second husband, Jack Palmer, and she was living in Tulsa under "Palmer", but claiming to be a widow. I think she was probably really divorced. She moved to Springfield, MO in the late 1940s, and then to San Diego, CA in the late 1950s. 2. I have no information on Burton Beasley's wife. 3. Debbie Sherwood's book was "A Redhead in Red Square" and was published by Dodd, Mead in New York in 1969. Worldcat says she also wrote "How to become a Model: Step by Step" (New American Library, 1971) and "The Story of a Happy Witch" (Lancer Books, 1973). There's also a book translated into Russian. (Moscow, 1993). Thanks for nudging me to look these up. 4. The sister who lived to be 96 was Jessie. She was married to a man named Jackson, and then she married a man named Vanover. Don't know the first names. According to the California death index, she was born 1/7/1899 and died in Los Angeles 1/8/1995. Also, I am wondering whether my Burton Beasley might be Edward Burton Beasley, who died in Temple, Bell County, Texas 6/25/1988. SSDI says that he was born on 8/25/1902 and his social security card was issued in Missouri. I just found him on the Texas death index after I made this post and have inquired about him on the Bell Co., TX board. This is a branch of the family that I was cut off from because of my grandparents' and great-grandparents' divorces, and I'm only now learning about it. Thanks for asking those good questions. - Heather
