Note: Obituary states she was born in Round Rock, Ark. This should be "Round Rock, Texas", as shown on her death certificate. Annie married Dr. Grover C. Bruce in Saline Co., Arkansas, not Hot Springs (Garland Co.) Arkansas as shown in the obit. The surviving siblings included 2 brothers & the rest were half or step siblings.
Annie Atterberry was the daughter of Thomas B. Atterberry & Rosa Ann "Rosie" Morgan. Annie was raised in Blevins, Hempstead Co., Arkansas after her mother married William Y. Yokem in 1895.
Annie first married Edward Dorsey "Ed" Lavender on Feb. 3, 1907 in Hempstead Co., Arkansas. They divorced on Sept. 4, 1916 in Hempstead Co., Arkansas. There were no children.
Annie then married Dr. Grover Cleveland Bruce on March 5, 1925 in Saline Co., Arkansas. It was a 2nd marriage for both. They had 2 sons born to them in Amarillo, Texas: Harvey & Grover, Jr.
Annie & Grover Bruce divorced about 1937 in Texas.
Annie was probably born in Austin, Travis Co., Texas. Annie's birth place was listed as Round Rock, Texas (Williamson Co.) by the informant for her death certificate. This is very near to Austin. Annie listed her birth place as Austin, Texas on her son Harvey Thomas Bruce's birth certificate. Austin was also the birthplace for her 2 brothers, Joe & William Atterberry, and for several of her step-siblings.
