My Grandmother Mary Cochran of PA(Brookville,maybe) was married in the late 1800's-early 1900's to a man named Calvin Rarey. The moved west(AZ?) for his health. She returned to PA after both he and a child of theirs died. She married my Grandfather John Allan, he died of peritonitis leaving her to raise their 3 sons and a yet unborn daughter. My Father gave me her Rarey wedding ring when I was in college,and it seemed very important to him that Mr Rarey not be forgotten. Oddly, the cousin my Grandma spent the most time with didn't know until years after her death(I don't think it was any kind of secret-that part of my family just didn't say much about personal doings. Dad died in 2000 and was still important to him that mr. Rarey be remembered. I thought this might fill in a gap for someone and would surly please my Dad.
