I am researching my father's line.
Bertha "Pun" Lee Clyburn is my aunt.
She is the daughter of Dr. Lonnie Cecil Clyburn and Mettie Lavanda Bartlett
She was born 22 Jan 1918 Chicota, Lamar County, Texas, died 03 Sep 1945 Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas; buried Presbyterian Church Cemetery, in an unmarked grave Chicota, ,Lamar County.,Texas.
Her siblings are
Lonnie Frank Clyburn
Thelma Louise Clyburn
Gerald Beacher Clyburn
Willie Ross Clyburn
She married 16 Feb 1942 Hempstead County, Arkansas to Roy Swank. He was born abt 1910.
I know she died at the Jefferson County Tuberculosis Hospital; Age: 26.
I have very little information about my aunt and uncle.or other family members.
I would appreciate any information, documentation, stories, assistance, etc.
I have ancestry.com so I have searched those records.
I found this record but it can't be our Roy Swank and Bertha Clyburn because of the dates. It is for 1923, that is before their marriage date, he would have been abt 13 yrs old and she would have been abt 4 yrs old. - bjc.
