IDA MAY GARIEPY AS A CHILD

GARIEPY, Ida May--Born on July 22, 1911 in Stoy, Crawford County, Illinois. She had one child before marriage. She then married REID PURCELL. She had two children known to us with him. Ried Purcell is said to have been a lumberjack. FACT: I have possession of a letter written by Ida that tells her Aunt Pearl about losing her first husband and child. She does not mention names or dates in this letter. This makes me think that it might be REID PURCELL that she is speaking of. Which also leads me to believe that she had two children by this man. She later married Charles ALLSBURY. They did not have any children together. She died on February 24, 1979 in Borger, Hutchinson County, Texas and is buried along with her husband Mr. ALLSBURY in Borger.
