My grandparents were Madge Overstreet Pearce and Harry Lewis Pearce. Madge's parents were Frank and Melissa Overstreet, and Harry Pearce's parents were Levi L. and Olive Clary Pearce. Harry had 7 brothers and sisters. I am looking for the location of Madge Overstreet's home - all I know is that it was near "Bethel Church". I'm guessing it was sw of Anthon on the way to Oto but I'm not sure. She was born in Anthon and lived there until her marriage to Harry Pearce also of Anthon in 1909. Both attended schools in the Anthon area. I do not know where the Pearce home was located but I have photographs of the Overtreet home...the earliest photograph was taken before 1900 and the latest in 1958 by a relative on a visit to the area. Any information on either family would be appreciated.

I have several photographs of my grandmother's with several friends. I have two photographs of her with a little girl named Ethel Witt, in the photo both my grandmother and Ethel are 11 years old. Then I have one of them around the age of 17. I also have photographs of my grandmother and her friend Lillian Morgan who would eventually become Lillian Overstreet after marrying Charles Overstreet, my uncle and brother of my grandmother.
