Research Notes by Ann Sutherland Apr 2019:

“I, too, have looked for Raymond Akers, but without success. He married Bernice Dobbins (daughter of James Kyle) in Bristol Tennessee on December 13, 1923.  They separated in 1933 and finally divorced 9-10-1952. I think he may have died in West Virginia only because that is the last place I found him. The next time I’m at the Library of Virginia, I’ll see if there is any information about him in the obituaries of his siblings. I can remember Mother and Mary talking about him, but too much time has past for me to remember what they said.”

Research Notes by Ann Sutherland Apr 2019:

“My grandmother’s middle name was Addy not Ada. I have the wedding invitation somewhere if that would help.  My grandfather was called Mr. Len.  I never knew his first name was James until I was in high school.  I think my mother got her name from his nickname and grandmother’s deceased sister. That’s my guess anyway.”

Research Notes by Ann Sutherland Apr 2019: “Something that you included about my Uncle Latta came as a complete surprise.  My brother and I had always been told he had never married.  Well, we now know that is not true thanks to you. True it was quite brief, but they did have a married license and a divorce.   It goes to show that you can’t assume anything when it comes to family history.  By the way he died in Washington, D.C. as the victim of a mugging.”
