Rose,
Thanks so much for getting back to me.I have found some info about O.P. Pooler (Oliver Perry).He was born July 27, 1837 in Koseosko, IL.He was the son of Truman Pooler, b. 1806 in IL, and Sarah ___ b. 1810.
Sarah died in Beloit, Ks, in 1913.
Oliver Perry Pooler married Mary Millie Bell, daughter of Aaron A. and Nancy Jane Bell on December 11, 1870, in Beloit, KS.Theirs was the first recorded marriage in Beloit.
O.P. and Mary had a daughter, Ruth Mae born June 1, 1877, in Ellsworth, KS; she died June 12, 1940 in Kansas City, KS.She was married to Andrew Johnson Waddell Dec. 16, 1894 in Kansas City, KS.Is Ruth Mae your GGGrandmother?Or did O.P. and Mary have other children that I have no record of?
You mention a Joshua and Mary (Molly) Pooler.Were they the parents of Truman Pooler?I thought Truman was the son of Charles Pooler and Hattie Sprague, m. Feb. 1876.Maybe Joshua is a brother of Truman or another son.
I was back in Beloit in May 1998 for my 35th class reunion.I grew up in Beloit, too.Maybe I know the daughter's family that you said still live there.
Can't wait to hear back from you on the family connections - especially if O.P. and Mary had more children besides Ruth Mae.
Thanks, Ginger
