--part1_140.2f1bf3d9.2e358d5e_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Geni Friend Judy, Yes, I recall that my mother relating to us that her mother MARY WILLIAMS-STEVENS married to MICHAEL STEVENS when he ws killed in the Marinna Mine Blast, that she was going to have to be expelled from the Company Housing, so she married LEE WASSIL, tho she did not love him to enable her to remain in her home. Her parents ordered her to marry him since he was secure and working. She spent the rest of her life loving her first husband, but providing a home for her two fatherless children and giving birth to 5 more children. So the story goes as conveyed to us by my mother and that they went to live with their grandmother for a period of time because he didn't want them around. Sad..............huh?

Dec 1908 -- many of the "foreign women" who lost their husbands in the disaster would be sent back to their native countries No explanation given, but probably because they had no financial support here, caused them to have to return overseas to family. If I find out who or when they left, I'll post the info. Something to consider if one of your widows disappeared in the 1910 census...
