I didn't know I was a Mardis until about 7 years ago. Ethel's son, my grandfather Leon Wise left my grandmother for another woman, since she got her pregnant. I found my grandfather Leon Wise was in prison and just got those papers. Leon's heirs were left mineral rights on some land in Kimball, Nebraska, but my mom was left out. Just found some cousins of my mothers and they talk fondly of Ethel Mae Mardis Wise Gibson, her husband Hutsel Wise left her for another woman and she was lucky to have met Isaac Gibson, he owned all of the land and she inherited it all. I have many entries on my tree so hope you can find all of the info you want. When I get chance will check your tree for you. Hope you can find that article on the car accident.
