I'd like to hear from descendants or other relatives of Stanley Woolsey. He was my grandmother's older brother, and was born in 1912, the child of Charles Elisha Woolsey (1888 - 1955) and Zena Mae Beasley (1893 - 1969), in Monett, Barry County, Missouri. He was in the Navy in WWII and was injured in an accident. Sometime in the early 1950s, he moved to San Diego, California and became a real estate agent. He died in San Diego in 1965 and is buried in the Fort Rosecrans cemetery there. His obit said that he was survived by one daughter, but my aunt believes he had other children. We believe he was married and divorced many times, but don't know the details, although I did find two of his divorces in Fayetteville, Arkansas and Springfield, Missouri. The obit also claims that he was the great-grandson of an admiral in the British Navy. I don't have all of his great-grandparents yet, so this may possibly be true. - Heather
