Hello all, I have an Ima Ophelia SPENCER that is truly my brick wall. According to family stories she was full blood Indian ( ? tribe), and the picture I have seems to support that. She was born in December of 1868 in (according to family stories) Gatesville, Texas. Her mother - Myrtle MURRELL(sp.?) died during child birth. Her father remarried and had one son but her father also died while Ima was young. She lived with step-mother and half brother. She married James Edward BURGESS in 1883 (?) Do these names sound familar. If so, I would really like to hear from you. Thanks, Sue Burgess
