Harold,
Danny Dew was actually born in Yazoo City, MS. Dec. 25, 1906.His sisters, as you mentioned their names, are correct. One sister, Lillian, is still living in Yazoo City.Lillian is 91.Danny also had a younger brother, John.
Danny's father was also named John and his mother's name was Essie.
Danny Dew married his wife, Melba, in 1930 on Thanksgiving Day.
Melba is still alive living in Arizona.She is 91.Melba and Danny's sister, Lilian still speak to each other via phone calls a couple times a week.
Danny and Melba did not have any children.
I am a close friend to Melba, she calls me her Arizona grandson, and she shared this information with me to assist you.Melba is extremely witty and speaks often about her Danny.They were married 66 years before Danny passed away.
I knew Danny before he passed away, but his health was poor all the time I knew him.He loved to talk about golf and baseball...especially Ben Hogan.If you have any further questions, I will speak to Melba as I see her often and I will see what I can do to help you.
Sincerely, Gerry Marr
