Parents of Bessie father, John Lewis, mother Grace Campbell on Birth Record film no.549394

Bessie was daughter of John William 1852-1941 and Grace Campbell OR George Anna Georgia Parker

Married 1902(census 1910 says) to Earnest Davis. One son was born Lewis Marvin 1904-1984.

1900 census 11 JUN has Elizabeth Lewis at this home at age 15? Was she released from Gordon's Children's Home in Shelby County after 1900 to John Hershberger? Bessie in 1900 met and married Earnest 1903, had Lewis in 1904 and lost baby after Lewis. ...a mystery.

For some reason Bessie has two stones...one in Willow Grove with Earnest and another one with different birth date in Fountain Park in Winchester. Needs research.
