• Notes

  Marshall 0248B - Gedcom from Larry Shelton. According to what my mother told me, Uncle Earle was a professional boxer and traveled around the U.S.A. to boxing matches. He came to Winston Salem, N.C. and met my Aunt Opal. He was originally from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, but after his marriage they resided in N.C. until my Aunt Opal's death. After which he took Irene and Celia Faye to his parents home in Mt. Pleasant and for years we completely lost touch with them. My brother Warren "Bud" kept searching for them and located our cousin Irene in New London, Iowa some time in 1970's.
