Bert was married to Bessie for 50 some years and had a wonderful life and only in his last years he married Elizabeth Lee Graham who was only 22 years old, which this marriage shocked the whole family, because Elizabeth (Beth)
was his daughter from his adopted son Douglas Todd Essary.
He was lonely from missing his loving wife Bessie who was so wonderful. so Beth sold the house and got 250,000 to buy her own house in another state leaving nothing for the other kids.
but what the other kids and grand kids do have his the wonderful memories of a wonderful man, grandpa. and grandma Bessie.
which no-one can take away.
