Hello! Yes, Cora Bennett McIntyre was my grandmother. My mother knew Mabel when she was young and she's the one who related the Berry story to me. Her oldest sister apparently has the marriage certificate, but the Saginaw library told us the same thing about the witness names. I just haven't been able to find out anything about the Berry couple(?), not even a census reference.
This is all the information I have on the family, just in case (and maybe some other lost cousin might find it useful).
Mabel Jewett, adopted daughter of Oscar Jewett and his wife Alice, b. 19 May 1883 in Saginaw, Michgan. She married Albert Charles Bennett, b. Apr 1860 in Bloom, Scioto, Ohio, on 1 May 1904 in Saginaw. He had six children from a previous marriage: Orange P., Olive V., Zoe A., Linnie, Carl Herbert, and Charles Franklin. I have more information on them if you like!
Mabel and Albert had seven children together:
Margaret Ruth, b. 23 Jan 1905 d. 15 Aug 1993, both in Saginaw. She married Rodney Sells.
Clifford Bennett, b. 1907 in Saginaw, d. 1966 in Colorado. (I believe he was visiting my aunt here at the time, actually.)
Evelyn, who you know of course!
Gilbert, b. 1911 in Saginaw and died Sept 1933 in Saginaw (suicide).
Cora Violet, my grandmother, b. 10 Jan 1913 in Saginaw and died 20 Feb 1996 in Manatee, Florida. She married George Howard McIntyre. My mother is her fourth (of five) child, Cynthia.
Rodney Albert, b. 5 Feb 1915 in Saginaw and died 26 Mar 1972 in Monroe, Georgia. He married Irene M. (Unknown).
Richard R., b. 23 Feb 1916 in Saginaw and d. 1 Dec 1972, also in Saginaw. He married Victoria B. (Unknown).
I hope this isn't just what you have already :) I could ask my mother again about the Berry story, but unfortunately I think all she knows is in my initial post. There's still the DNA route to follow, though.
Thanks,
Amanda
