Bessie A. Turley: Adkins-Horton Family

1897 - 1925 (28 years)

Generation: 1

Bessie A. Turley was born on 29 Mar 1897 in Lincoln Co, WV (daughter of Dempsey A. Turley and Eva L. Hill); died on 8 Sep 1925 in Huntington, Cabell Co, WV; was buried in Milton Cemetery, Milton, Cabell Co, WV.

Notes:

Name:
Although Bessie's death certificate says her father is Thos. A. Pruett, her marriage to Charles U. Penwell at age 16 shows her as a Turley. Since her gravestone gives her birthdate as 29 Mar 1897 and her mother's marriage to Thomas Pruett as 16 Sep 1899, she had little time to know her father. Note that her mother might have left Dempsey or Dempsey Turley might have died earlier than 1899. It makes sense that Bessie would use the name of the father she grew up with and perhaps was adopted by, Thomas Pruett.
