I am searching for information on my great grandmother. Her name was Gertrude Vaden MORRIS. She was born Oct 14, 1888, in Montgomery, WV. At least, my grandfather thinks she was born there, and he knows that she grew up there. She died September 14, 1967, in Huntington, WV. She married Erie Gabriel HATCHER of Odd, WV, around 1912 (most likely in Montgomery, but I am not sure). He was a railroad man in Huntington. I do not know anything about her parents or anything like that. She had 2 sisters that my grandfather remembers, Alma MORRIS, who married Woodrow O'DELL, and Carrie MORRIS, who never married, and one brother, Charles Haskiel MORRIS, also never married. This is all that I know about her (well I know her kids and grandkids and all that, since that's my family). We think her parents may have died before she was married, since her brother is the person on her wedding invitation, not her parents. My grandfather doesn't remember anything about her parents at all. I looked on a map, and it seems that Montgomery is on the county line between these Kanawha and Fayette County, so I thought I'd try both of you. I am going to try to make it to the Cabell County Courthouse the next time I get a day off, to see if I can find her death certificate, as some one told me that it may contain information (that's one thing I've never tried). I'm just an amateur at genealogy, and have gotten lucky that several of my lines have been worked on by family members already. This is just one area that we are stuck at, and stuck really close in time to the present. I would appreciate any help that you can give me.
