Tombstone Tuesday - 6 April 2010 - Dallman/Mayer/Hamric

Edith N. Dallman, my first cousin, once removed, was born 1 January 1906 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA, and died 4 April 1983 (27 years ago this week) in Morton Grove, Cook, Illinois, USA. She was buried 7 April 1983 in Arlington Cemetery, DuPage County, Illinois, USA.

Edith had two children - Norma and Jack Mayer - from two different husbands (Ray Mayer and Adolph Mayer, respectively - no relation that we know of). She was divorced from her third husband - Mr. Hamric.

I remember Edith and her daughter Norma - they attended my first wedding. While we lived close to each other in Illinois, our families had very little contact. I regret that greatly at this point in my life and am trying to reconnect with Jack Mayer's family (he passed away in 1987, but I understand his three children - Jack, John, and Kathy - still live in Illinois).
