Surnames: Embody, Palmer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZFC.2ACI/286.1 Message Board Post: I am the great grandaughter of Charles Samuel Embody and Bessie Palmer Embody. Bessie died in 1917 and Charles married Annie Deterline/Deterling born November 18th, 1880. From what I can figure Charles and Annie combined families. Charles Embody had Harold, Harriette, Myron and Julia and Annie had Bessie, Doris and John. From what I know Charles and Annie ran hotels in Duluth and Minnesota. Annie's daughter Bessie ran Nursing Homes and took in wards of the state on a farm in MN. My mother seems to remember that Johnny Deterling had a large family. Johnny is listed on my great grandfather's naturalization papers as being born on Aug. 10th, 1905. If ANY of this sounds familiar please contact me at ronbessantes@earthlink.net.
