Hello Jennifer,
My name is Diane. I have been researching the
Freebury genealogy for
some time.
My gggrandparents were Mary and James
Freebury. Fred
Freebury was my
grandmother's dad. Her mother's name was Amanda
Tharp or
Thorp. They
had 3 children John W., Elmer E. and Izie O. ( my grandmother) Her name
has been incorrectly spelled many times. I have Grandmother's bible with
all this information in it. She has Phoebe's name in it but only had
the date of her death. She died at 26. She also has a George Edward
Freebury that died in 1909 at the age of 55 . John and Elmer were born near
Bassett,
Iowa. Izie was born in
Niles,
Iowa. I have their dated of
births and deaths in her bible. I remember
Uncle Elmer, he was tall and
seemed nice. Grandmother married a Henry
Hoeft.
This pass week I received a copy of Mary and James of their deaths
from the Nashua Reporter dated March 2, 1911, also a copy of Grandmother
wedding announcement. I'm looking for some family pictures. If I can
help in any way please let me know.
Diane
