Lonnie McLondon (born circa Oct 1996 - died December 1966) married Virginia Marie Townley (born 7 June 1913; the year is in question - die circa 1949)in the mid 30's?? They had at least 4 children: Jr. Tanner (he died due to drinking and driving) Ray Tanner Georgia Tanner later renamed Barbara and Nora Mae Tanner. After Lonnie and Virginia divorced, she gave away her children to whoever would take them. Eventually Virginia tracked down her son Ray and sent him to her sisters (I think) or maybe her brother to live. Virginia went to Ohio sometime in the late 40's where she was killed by a drunk driver while waiting at the bus stop. She was 36 years old. Lonnie moved to Princeton but I don't know the time frame. Lonnie froze to death in his front yard in December of 1966 after returning home from a local bar. I have searched various records looking for my grandparents but it is as if they never existed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michelle Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
