Had the rumors wrong it seems.
Homer Floyd
Bailey (born and raised in
Ohio) married Ethel Sara
Beam.
Homer's dad was Samuel born 1858 in
Pennsylvania.
Brother Henry was born in Glencoe,
Minnesota, 1889.
Sister Pearl born in
Iowa, 1893.
Sister Katherine born in
Ohio 1894.
Half brother Alfred
Manning born 1908.
Somewhere before 1900 she had two children who died and possibly one that is unaccounted for as yet.
Samuel married Josephine born 1870 in Germany (came here in 1878). They divorced between 1896 and 1899. He took Pearl & Henry to
Iowa. Katie &
Homer stayed with Josephine. Josephine then married
Wilson Tripp in 1900 and divorced him in 1903. She then married Joseph
Manning in 1904 and stayed married to him until she died of pnuemonia in 1916. Josephine's sister Mrs. Marstin took care of her at the end according to newspapers. Newspapers also said she had a brother who lived in
Oberlin,
Ohio.
I see that Pearl and her husband Henry
Whitney took in Henry and Katherine during 1910 census. Until Katherine married Leo
Mohrman when she was 17. Henry then goes back to
Iowa and marries Jeanette.
Any one with some good hints or information would be appreciated by me.
