Edward WARE married

Edith Golda BROWNEWELL-- Date: 8 January 1916 Place: Oakland, California, USA
Edith Golda BROWNEWELL was the child of George William BROWNEWELL and Della E WINGER

"Della's daughter, Edythe, married Ed Ware with no legal divorce from Pat Cease. Della strongly disapproved and voiced her objections to Edythe. Edythe was so afraid her mother would tell her new husband, that they moved to Orland, him leaving a good job to do that. So, imagine Edythe's delight when she found a newspaper clipping from Hiram Graves' daughter, trying to locate her father. It seems Hiram was not legally divorced either. So, Della made him live out in a chicken coop until the matter was resolved." www.kathys-place.com
