| 03 Oct 2009 |  | Photo is of Clyde Sims and wife "Johnnie". Clyde Sims parents were J.B. Sims and Lucy Alvis. Clyde's dates are b.Nov.13, 1901, d.3-13-1954. He is buried in Rosemound Cemetery in Waco. His death certificate is signed by wife "Johnnie". As
per a marriage license Clyde Sims married a Josephine Sims ... same
last names. Even though this is unusual, it does happen occasionally. "Johnnie" remarried after death of Clyde. Who, where, and when, did she remarry? I
have the name Thomas R. Williams for her 2nd husband, and that they
both are buried in Laural Land Cemetery in Dallas along with other Sims
Family members. Can anyone help me identify who Johnnie / Josephine was? Who were her family?
If anyone can assist with this identification please contact Deb at this email address: ontheroadagain_52389@yahoo.com |
