Dear Linda,
Thanks for the update.
Oddly enough, I had been working on Ed’s line in tree all last week. I found where two families posted that Portelia called Tealie on all Census reports, born on 23 Dec 1904 in Magoffin, Kentucky & later died as Delia Johnson (Milton (1907-1934)) on 16 Feb 1925 in Portsmouth, Sciota, Ohio. The two died young, leaving no children. I did remove Portelia from her name, even though the older family members insist that her name was Portelia, on my tree and only left Delia as it was reported to the State reported it.
Ura death made the front page of [Adkins, Ura] the Fairview,KY newspaper on Oct. 9, 1924. Her death certificate that he was accidentally shot by her brother.
As for Ada Adkins, death is listed as unknown.
I have everyone – except Wana Adkins – families say she died before 1920 but so far I can’t prove that. Ohio death certificates for that ear, aren’t good. But, I do constantly check & recheck on the these lines for updates and any new paperwork that I uncover I do post on my tree. I think with KY nicknames really get in the way so finding death headstones or other info on family.
Please contact me any time or double check on my tree. I do post updates as soon as I get the info.
Thanks as always,
Sheila
