Her father owned Lewis M. Mann & Son, a clothespin manufacturing company. The kind soul who sent me info on Gertrude noted that Odell worked for his ex-father-in-law's company. However, Gertrude's obituary doesn't mention this first marriage. It does note that her second marriage to Harlan Stanley Andrews occured 25 Oct 1947. <br /><br />Gertrude and Stanley owned Cole's Hardware store in Bryant Pond where they lived for more than 40 years. <br /><br />Gertrude and Stanley spent at least part of their time in Brandon, Florida where Gertrude was a member of the United Church of Christ.<br /><br />The obituary reports that two step sons preceded Gertrude in death: James and Ormond. The survivors include her husand, H. Stanley Andrews, and four daughters; 12 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren.<br /><br />Her funeral was held at the West Paris Universalist Church. Burial was in the Wayside Cemetery, Main Street, West Paris.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349943468006750659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055669175925481862.post-10447687478089993392012-04-16T10:23:55.716-04:002012-04-16T10:23:55.716-04:00I received an email from a kind soul that indicate...I received an email from a kind soul that indicates that Gertrude C. Mann was married to Odell Rich. She subsequently married H. Stanley Andrews. She died 16 Jun 1997. <br /><br />The social security index indicates that she was born 9 Nov 1918 and died 16 Jun 1997. Her SS# was issued in Maine before 1951. Gertrude's last benefit was sent to 04268 Norway, Oxford, Maine. <br /><br />Ancestry has a family tree for Gertrude that says her parents were Edwin Jonathan Mann and Eleanor Heath Tuell. Another family tree indicates that her middle name is Caroline. <br /><br />With the correct names and dates, I can start hunting for Gertrude's obituary and additional info.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349943468006750659noreply@blogger.com
