Hi Valerie,
Phebe Jane Geer, b. 8 Sep 1871 in Kansas, daughter of John R. Geer and Fannie Ann Reagan, was a 1/2 sister to my great grandmother, Rosa Belle Geer, whose daughter, Ferne Hite, was my grandmother.
Phebe had 1/2 brother, John Henry Geer, (full brother to Rosa Belle) may have performed in the circus. There was another sibling, Ida M. Geer, who later married Robert Nicoll and they lived in Kansas City. There were many other 1/2 siblings, as John R. Geer married several times.
I have been searching for Phebe Jane Geer and had lost track of her in the late 1800's. She married Cyrus A. Summers in 1890 in Coffee Co., KS and they later divorced. She then married Sylvester A. Price in Sedgwick Co., KS in 1894. That was the last I knew of her whereabouts until today, while researching, I "discovered" she had moved to Texas, living there widowed with two children, Fred and Fern, in the 1900 census. That jumped out at me since my grandmother's name is also Fern (sometimes spelled "Ferne.") Then, I "discovered" she married a Weston. That is when I found this post. I would very much like to speak with you regarding this family, especially if you are descended from Phebe as I would like to learn more about her and her offspring. I have a lot of information on the Geers.
