I spoke with Edra Keeran. She fouind four Pearls in her book. One was a man, the other three are as follows:

Pearl Keeran married to a Mr. Watt

Pearl Keeran born in MO in 1887 marriewd to Robert Harrison Givens

Pearl Rosena Keeran born Skyler Cty Il, Died McComb Il, buried Fulton Cty IL married to Melvin Philips.

She also believes someone marfried an Alexander in Bloomington, IL.

Good Luck! Let me know if any of these are matches.
