ELDRIDGE: Anna Josephine is the 2nd child of Charles Henry and Mary Josephine "Josephine" WATERMAN
Bawden4
Charles Henry ELDRIDGE had 2 child-bearing wives: Josephine B. THOMPSON ELDRIDGE and Mary Josephine "Josephine" WATERMAN ELDRIDGE. Charles had 8 children total. Charles' middle wife, Rebecca THOMPSON, sister of Josephine, died childless after 18 mos.
Anna Josephine was born 1 Apr 1876 in Davenport, Iowa and attended public schools. She graduated from Mrs. Abigail O. Sherriff's Teacher Training School in Davenport and taught at Polk Elementary School (no longer exists) in southwest Davenport, and at J.B. Young Intermediate School in Davenport where she was the drawing teacher.
On 23 June 1909, Anna Josephine, now called Anna Marjorie, married Clarence Sidney PALMER at Davenport's St. John's Methodist Church.
Clarence PALMER was born in 1873 in Canada (no other info) to Norris and Martha NORTH PALMER. The family moved to Davenport in 1898 where Clarence attended school. Anna Josephine/Marjorie and Clarence moved to Seattle, King, Washington where Clarence had been working for the past 3 years as a steamfitter for a heating and plumbing company. In the summer of 1910, D. Rae and Anna with mom Mary Josephine decided to leave Davenport and live with the PALMERS. Clarence died of a heart attack 3 Dec 1910. The family returned to Davenport and Anna resumed teaching. They had no children.
Anna and D. Rae retired in 1935 and moved to Los Angeles, California where she died.
I have no death info on either Anna Josephine/Marjorie ELDRIDGE PALMER or Alta Ray/D. Rae Eldridge.
