Notes |
- Proposed Change: Orvan Lester Bess (I33486)
Tree: The Hennessee Family
Link: <http://45.55.184.182//getperson.php?personID=I33486&tree=hennessee>
Description: Orvan Bess' middle name is Luster (not Lester). It's a surname of a friend or relative for whom he was named. I'm not exactly sure who yet, but I do have a Jane Luster from Warren County, TN, in my tree that I think will connect in eventually.
Orvan's wife was Flora Cornelia Mathews (~1888 - 1965). Her sister Margaret Louise "Lula" Mathews (1884 - 1934) married Orvan's brother Andrew Jackson Bess (1879-1924).
Flora and Lula were orphaned as adolescents. Their younger half sister, Mary "Willie" Smith, was my great grandmother.
I do not know who any of these girls' parents were, only that their mother was known as "Maggie Smith" when she died in 1899 in Nashville. All three girls were in and out of the Nashville Protestant Orphans Asylum several times in the 1890s and early 1900s before they each married into the Bess/Arnett family.
My 2X great grandmother, Samantha Bess Arnett, was the aunt of Orvan Luster Bess and Andrew Jackson Bess, and the mother of George Arnett (my great grandfather) who married Willie Smith.
