From a Findagrave reader: "I am helping a friend with family research and am hoping you can help.
You have William Henry Netter on Find A Grave, his first wife unknown.
In the 1940 Census he is w/ wife Sara(Daisy) & 22 yr old daughter Beverly Maye Smith. She & her mother are who we are trying to find information on.
We do not know a maiden name of Sara and are unable to find marriage date to W H Netter.
You will find Beverly Maye Shields on Find A Grave Llano Cemetery, Amarillo, TX w/ the only information we have.
We are trying to find out if Beverly was adopted by W H Netter or if she is daughter to a Smith that was once husband of Sara.
There is also thought that Beverly may be of Native American descent."
