The birth certificate of Euna and Harvey Belshe's still born male child shows that she was born in Emmet County, Mississippi. There is no county by that name in Mississippi. Based on some new info from "1900 Census – Beat 5 (part south of Osyka & Liberty roads), Amite Co, Mississippi", it's possible and maybe even probable that the Emmet name should've been "Amite Co". The census record shows that the McElveen family was living in Amite Co, Mississippi. When the stillbirth was being recorded, the person giving the information could've said 'Amite' and the person filling in the form could've written 'Emmet' thinking that that was what he or she heard. This seems to be a plausible scenario, anyway. And, in fact, there is an Amite county in Mississippi. (Thanks to MHS (#48114588) for providing me with the aforementioned census info, from which I noted the "Amite Co". That likely cleared up a tidbit of information about my Aunt Euna. LV)
The stillbirth of this child seemed to be the only attempt for Euna and Harvey Belshe to have children.
Euna Mae McElveen was the 2nd wife of Wm. Harvey Belshe. They married on January 13, 1928 in Stockton (San Joaquin) California. Shortly after marrying, they made their way back to Chamal Nuevo, Tamaulipas Mexico. Chamal Nuevo was the town built by U.S. settlers who started colonizing that area in the southern part of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas in 1903. (As a point of reference, Chamal Nuevo is about 300 miles south of Brownsville, Tx, and it's about 60 miles inland from the Mexican city named Tampico, which is on the east coast of Mexico.
Wm Harvey Belshe was my great uncle. He was my grandfather's brother. They lived across the creek from each other in Chamal Nuevo.
On my visits to my grandfather's farm, I would often head across the creek to visit Uncle Harvey and Aunt Euna.
I remember her as being a very gentle woman and very accommodating to her husband's family.
On one of my visits in the early 60s to Chamal Nuevo, I learned that Aunt Euna had gone back to the States. I'd heard that she'd moved to Fort Worth, Texas, and she might've lived there for a while. It appears, however, that she at least for the latter years of her life lived in Lousiana, where she died. And her remains were taken back and buried in the state in which she had been born, Mississippi.
