Dear List, There are a lot of creative minds on this list and I do hope that someone can help me knock down my brick wall - her name is BESSIE MEDDE (SNOW) MAYNES. She was the daughter of DELL(US) FRANKLIN SNOW and MARY LELA (SEATON) SNOW and had a twin sister named ESSIE MARIE (SNOW) GALLIMORE. BESSIE and ESSIE were born December 5, 1907 in Dresden, Tennessee. BESSIE was on the 1930 Weakley County census with her husband, FRANK MAYNES (born October 27, 1905 according to his November 19, 1949 Certificate of Illinois Death Record) and daughter, MATTIE LEE MAYNES who we now know was born on February 19, 1925. My BRICK WALL is that we can't find when BESSIE died. Older family members remember that she was living east of Gleason about 5 miles when she died of TB and some think that it was 1931. Some of her twin sister's family members had a gravestone erected in New Valley Cemetery and used the year "1935" as the date of death (a guess among the family members). I have searched everywhere that I know to find BESSIE's date of death. Any suggestions from anyone out there - does someone remember the family name and know if there are any family members still living in the area? I am sure somewhere there is an old family Bible with BESSIE's date of death recorded in it. Would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you. Janis SNOW Mundy Reno, NV
