RJ137 found the obit of John Alexander Crossett who died Apr 19, 1935 in Memphis, Tennessee. He had a wife May Blanche Lowe, who may or may not have been his first wife. I haven't found a marriage for them although they are living together as early as 1916, as per the Memphis City Directory. Their children are John Alexander Jr., born Nov 17, 1921 in Memphis, Frances V. Crossitt who was born May 20, 1922 in Memphis, and Bernice aka Minnie born July 26, 1923. When John died in 1935, the children were very young. I have not found the death of their mother but I am told that the children ended up in an orphanage so thinking that May died shortly after John. Of course, in some places and at some times, orphanages were used to look after children when the parents couldn't or didn't want to. I can't find May's death anywhere in the USA. Or remarriage. Her parents were John Wesley Lowe and Martha Jennie Burnett. May may have had a son Virgil before she met John A. Crossett. Thanks for any help. Peggy
