"Hi Mr. Smith! My name is Michelle Townsend and I was very excited to find your webpage. Mr. Albert F. Hicks is my great-grandfather. His daughter (Essie) Armenta Hicks was my grandmother. She was the product of his first marriage, which you have listed as "unknown." Her mother's name was Willie S. Meadows, daughter of E.R. and N.B. Meadows. They were married on 9/10/1913 in Welch, WV. Apparently after having 5 children with him between 1914-1919, she passed away from the flu. Anyway, I was hoping you might be able to use this information to help others!

6. E-mail from Karen Rost, Beavercreek, OH; 29 Apr 2013.
"...Willie is buried in case no one knows. We've looked at archives and it states she died in WV but she is buried in Chestnut Cemetery in Sunfish OH (Piketon/Waverly area). Of course we wonder why. Also we heard that she was buried just on the otherside of the cemetery fence and not inside, which we are curious about. However when we went this weekend they extended the fence to include her. not sure what the history was or reasoning why which also peeked our interest. Most of all we don't want her forgotten. Although she died in 1919, we have sort of adopted her into our family.
