Hi Betty, I have only a very remote connection to this family but I thought I'd nevertheless respond to your query with what little I know. First off, you can also find this family in 1910 in Cottondale, AL and in 1920 in Sheffield, AL. Their three children were Artemus, Mary M. and Bernhard Jr.I've been told that Bernhard Jr. was a prizefighter. Bernhard Sr. was a chemist. My interest in this family derives from the fact that Willie Mae was a Swanger by birth. You can find her in the 1900 census in Murfreesboro, Rutherford, TN. Her father was Benjamin Jacob Swanger and her mother was Delilah Emeline (Emma) May. Jacob and Delilah had just two children; they then divorced and Jacob married Delilah's sister, Florence Tennessee May, with whom he had nine children. I have met and/or corresponded with some members of this line of Swangers. I am myself in another line and would be around a 7th cousin of Willie. I hope that helps a little.
