More Sources for Family Tree Records


I have been working on the records of the descendants of Lysander Gee. I have been trying to attach sources to those that I could find information for so that I could add the sources to Family Tree.
For some reason I started with Robert Hale Gee.  He had a son named after him, Robert Hale Gee.  His son was Robert Claudeus Gee.  He was also known as R. C. Gee. In my records he was married to Annabell Rosenbloom.  In a search of the Ogden Standard Examiner I found a wedding announcement for R. C. Gee and Jeanne Paulis Schottenhammel[1], who I assume was his second wife.  He was found in a census in Oregon with his first wife Anna Bell (Note the difference in spelling. This may be how the census taker spelled it.) and a daughter Sandra Claudette Gee.
The daughter was married to Kenneth J. Beggs in Clark County, Nevada at the age of 51 according to the Western States marriage index.  It would be helpful to know if this was the same Sandra Claudette.

I found the following photos of grave markers on Find a Grave

Also their daughter Alice Gee

And another daughter Eloise Gee


His second wife Jeanne P. Gee is buried in Park City.

I was unable to easily find a newspaper obituary of either one of the above. 





[1] Ogden Standard-Examiner, Sunday, May 09, 1948, Ogden, Utah, United States Of America
Wedding announcement. Jeanne P Heaney and R. C. Gee

Married in the John Timothy Stone Chapel in Chicago

She was obviously was married to a Heaney prior to this marriage.

The Gees are now on their honeymoon to Smoky Mountain national Park Gallinberg, Tennessee and upon their return will reside in Ogden where Mr. Gee is connected with the special service department of the Union Pacific Railroad Company Mrs. Gee was a former stewardess for the company.


She is also listed as a grandmother of Vance Edward Millard in his obituary 1 August 1966.  His father is listed and also grandfather and mother, but the mother is not listed in the obituary.

Jeanne P. Gee is buried in Park City.

She was probably born in Chicago since her parents were from that city.

Adding information in Sources


 
Today I added a brief history of Salmon Gee, Lysander’s youngest brother to Stories in Family Tree. I also added a photo. I am working on another history of Salmon Gee that I got from a neighbor.  I hope to have that complete sometime this week.

I also added a history of Erasmus Gee, Lysander’s oldest son by Maryetta Rowe Gates Gee.  He is the one that is often combined and mistaken for Erastus Rowe.  It includes letters from him to the judge while he was in prison for polygamy.  He seems to disappear of the radar after his stint in prison.  We will eventually find him, but it will take a lot of detective work.

I have previously added a history of George Brown Bailey, but had not linked him, and so this morning I linked him and found two photos of him that someone had added to his record on Family Tree.  I was pleased.

I also found Stephen Rowe Gee’s death certificate and put that as a source in Family Tree.  Stephen was a younger brother of Erastus Rowe.

While I was at it, I found the death certificate of Louisa Gee, Erastus’ half sister and added it to the sources.

I also found the death certificate of Mamie O’Brien Gee the wife of Robert Hale Gee and the nephew of Erastus Rowe. I attached it as a source in the record in Family Tree.  I also found a grave marker for Robert Claudius Gee, the son of Robert Hale Gee and linked it as a source in Family Tree.

That is All for today.
