LONA [McKAIN] BETHEL
According to his obituary, my grandfather [ALONZO McKAIN] died at the home of his daughter, LONA BETHEL 30 Dec. 1935 in Flora, Illinois. I have the names and info on nine of his children, but had never heard of Lona until I saw his obituary. Nor has anyone else in our family heard of her, There was no mention of any marriage at all in his obit. Know he married my grandmother, Josie Kurtz nee Ellis, on 14 July 1895 and he was 25 years older than Josie. So he must have been married at least once before. Any information about Lona, her mother, other siblings etc would be greatly appreciated! I will share the info I have. Thank you, Ina Mae
