I can tell you that she was born 1888 or 89 in TN. I don't even know what her family live was all about. Her mom got remarried to a man that had the last name of Peters or Peterson. She had a couple of half sibs. She did not get married until she was around 40 or 41 years of age. She wanted to wait for her sweetheart to come back from the war (WWI) They were not married for very long only about 12 years. He was gassed during the war. They had two children. My mom and my uncle. I did not know these people because I was adopted. Just a year or so ago I met my brother and sister and they told me all about the family etc. I am trying to find out about my gma. So anything that you have if any would be helpful. Thanks,. Sue
