What I Know:
This is Bessie. All I know is that she was a friend of Audele Ferrer Mariencheck's (my grandmother).
She's in many of our family photographs. A few of these were taken in June, 1944 outside of Fort Hood, TX. Buddy Mariencheck was stationed there for basic training and Dell visited one weekend. A lady named Mrs. Thompson would allow the soldier's wives to stay with her while they were in town. Stay tuned for another post soon featuring the many photographs from that weekend. We guess Bessie traveled with Dell on this trip.
We thought perhaps Bessie was a neighbor, but a search of neighboring homes in the 1940 census came up empty. Although there are no "Bessies" on the roster of the 1939 graduating class of Catholic High School, this isn't a shock. Bessie appears to be a bit older than Dell in these pictures.
Do you know who this is? |
