Addie L. (Latham) Bennett's husband James W. (J. W.) Bennett, Jr., was this writer's 3rd cousin. James's father, James, Sr., was a half-brother to my great grandmother Paulina (Bennett) Thurman.
Addie's parents are unknown to their writer. The first record of Addie is her marriage to J. W. Bennett on June 4, 1879 in Sullivan County, Missouri. They had one known son who died at age 9:
Bert Oakley Bennett 1889 – 1898
They may have had other children, but census records are not available which would show this. Since Bert was born in the 10th year of J. W. and Addie's marriage, it is likely they did have other children. The 1890 census of Missouri, which would have shown any other children, was destroyed in a fire at the Missouri State Capitol. Also, due to Bert's birth and death dates, he escaped any census records. This writer would not have known about this child were it not for finding his tombstone on this site.
This is actually a very tragic family. One should note that J. W. and Addie Bennett both died in 1890 when their son Bert was only 1 year old. It is unknown who took care of Bert after this. Then, tragically, he also died just 8 years later.
