Judith Ann(e) was born the daughter of Charles E. Nelson and Bessie Inez Rawls. This was our father's second marriage. Her parents divorced in 1935 and Judith Anne never got to know her father. She was raised by her mother in Las Vegas, Nevada and married Girard Mc Analy Harvielle on 27 Sept. 1957. I found out about Judith from my Aunt in about 1976 and started searching for her. I finally got a break in 2010 when I bought a CD with the names of the men who worked on the building of Hoover Dam. I found out her mother's maiden name. I sent for a copy of her birth certificate. I kept posting queries on www.genealogy.com and in early 2011 someone found her marriage and an address in Phoenix, AZ. I wrote to her in Phoenix but found out in a return letter that she was suffering from Alzheimers and was living in a group home. I wrote 2 more letters, but she was then moved to a nursing home as her condition had worsened. We never got to meet in person but we will see each other in Heaven. Her cremains and those of her mother have been shipped to me. She & her mother buried in Milford Cemetery.
