Bell Family - Ourfolk

Title: email from Jack Pierson

Author: Jack Pierson
MY NAME IS JOHN PIERSON (JACK). BY ACCIDENT I CAME ON YOUR FAMILY RESEARCH SITE TODAY AND AM AMAZED AS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY FAMILY GENEOLOGY NOW FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. YOUR ENTRY #29 FOR ADNEY BIBBINS AND HIS WIFE ADDIE ARE OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO ME AS THEY ARE MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS. I HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON ADDIE BUT I HAD NOTHING ON ADNEY AT ALL. THIS IS FASCINATING TO ME TO SEE ALL THIS. I DID NOTICE A COUPLE ERRORS FOR ADDIE'S HUSBAND JOHN BELL--HE WAS BORN IN SCOTLAND AND THEIR MARRIAGE DATE IS WRONG AS I HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL WEDDING CERT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR E MAIL AND AM EXCITED TO LEARN MORE OF ANOTHER LINE IN MY FAMILY HISTORY. I ACTUALLY HAVE VERY LITTLE INFORMATION THAT PRE DATES ADDIE AND JOHN BELL. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION RECORDED ON THIS FAMILY BUT IF IT CAN BE SHARED BY E MAIL OR COPIES MADE I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. I AM CERTAINLY WILLING TO COVER ANY COSTS INVOLVED. MORE ON CARRIE... SHE WAS BORN 11 FEB 1858 AND DIED 12 FEB 1930 AND IS BURIED IN OAKWOOD CEMETERY IN BELOIT, WI. SHE WAS BURIED 15 FEB 1930. SHE WAS A TEACHER AND WAS GRADUATED FROM BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL. I HAVE HER OBITUARY AND INFO FROM THE DEATH CERT. SHE WAS MARRIED 26 JUL 1896 TO WINFIELD SCOTT HOWE BUT I HAVE NO DATES FOR HIM AS I JUST HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR. THEY HAD TWO DAUGHTERS, MARGARET WHO WAS AT HOME WHEN CARRIED DIED AND ALSO GENEVIEVE MC CAMMON OF BELOIT. I HAVE LISTED ALSO A BROTHER FRANK W BIBBINS OF PORTAGE WASHINGTON. THIS WAS MENTIONED IN THE OBITUARY. CARRIE DIED FROM MYOCARDITIS & GASTRO HEMMORHAGE. RUMOR HAS IT, FROM A VERY RELIABLE OLD FAMILY FRIEND WHO KNEW THESE PEOPLE, THAT CARRIE WAS A VERY WELL RESPECTED PERSON AND THAT HER HUSBAND WAS A BIT OF A DRINKER AND OFF BY HIMSELF MUCH OF THE TIME. I WILL INCLUDE A FEW PICTURES WHICH I THINK ARE IDENTIFIED BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM, LET ME KNOW. I AM IN THE PROCESS (SLOWLY) OF RE-PHOTOGRAPHING THE ORIGINALS WHICH, TO ME, WORKS BETTER THAN SCANNING THEM. WITH A HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERA YOU CAN ZOOM IN ON THE REPRODUCTIONS AND SOMETIMES SEE DETAILS OTHERWISE NOT SEEN.
