Hello Stephen:
I thank you for replying to my query. I am trying to find information that my father didn't know about his family.I live in Terre Haute, IN, and my father only knew some names and had very fuzzy memories of the people in his family, as all the grownups in his life died while he was very young, including his mother and father.He could only tell me that he had a cousin named Mercedes Wann.My father's mother is Gertrude Alberta (Stoecker) Holcomb.She would be the youngest of three sisters:Cora Ethel Stoecker, born 8 Oct 1874, died 26 Apr 1936; Nelda Margaret Stoecker, born 25 Apr 1880, died 22 Nov 1942; Gertrude Alberta Stoecker, born 11 Jun 1892, died 27 Jan 1939.
Cora married George Hastings Hall, Nelda Married William G. Brandenburg, and Gertrude married Ulysses Owen Holcomb (my Grandfather).I have photos of the gravesites of all of them plus their obituaries.I also have a copy of Mercedes and Hubert's marriage license application.I can send it if you want it, just let me know.I would be a 2nd cousin to Mercedes.Thanks for replying and write me any time, cousin.Jeff Holcomb.
