Edatha (Eddie) Geralds never remarried, She taught schools in Monroe, Allen and Barren Counties until her death in 1935. She died at the home of her sister Sarah Elizabeth (Mrs. Isaac Turner Proffit) 79 years ago TODAY. The son mentioned did not survive her. I can find no record of her son or her ex to date. Until today, there was no info about her burial at Bethlehem Cemetery. I have her obit. Randy Jobe On 9/23/2014 9:28 AM, Sandi Gorin via wrote: > Plaintiff: Eddie F. Emberton > Defendant: W. T.
