About my Grandma Mae, there is a lot of bits and peices and I wish I knew more about her. I was told that she was adopted. Her grave is in the City Cemetary across from the Poplar Bluff, MO Old Cemetary. Grave is all the way down the right. Her first marriage was to a John Godman (maybe Godner) and my mom may have a step sister named Beatris Boyd. Grandma's brother called baby Johnny was adopted by a rich man name Sandler? Jean said his name was Will (Johnny) Sandlin? Maybe in early 1900. Maybe another brother sister called Vern, Isabel?
*
My Grandpa John was with a lady for years named Pauline Kennedy (possibly),and she had a daughter named Wilma that married George Morris in the early to mid 1960's. They had 2 boys named Randy, (probably Randall), and for some reason Warren seems to be the name of the other one and they lived around West Point, Miss. Wilma went to Fisk where Grandpa John lived and packed him up and took him home ( West Point, Miss). with her as he was too old to watch after himself. Grandpa John had a brother named Bill Gardner, that lives in Poplar Bluff and a sister Orbie Devall of Yakima, Wash. There is a Uncle Amos and Aunt Hess, could be Grandpa's relatives?
