[or-roots] Disappearing bride;

[Leslie Chapman]

I have beat my head against every source I could think of to no avail, family search is mum, Archives.com has no clue other than John's second marriage record which gives me a time frame, I haven't found any conclusive evidence of her death under either Galloway or Hines, lots of candidates but no evidence to support them.

My sole reason for pursuing these people was to try and determine if they are connected Karen Jean Gallaway b 1948 in Wenatchee who is a niece-in-law of John's little sister Elinor Irene who married Erdley Dee Williams in 1956;

I have more than I possibly need of information on Delores' and Janean's families as well as John and Elinor's ancestry and having realized Karen was born in Wenatchee I expect the connection if at all is distant and way too much trouble to track down for my purposes. But I would like to find out what happened to Delores out of idle curiosity, John and Janean obviously didn't live to a ripe old age and that kinda piques my curiosity too since if it was something in the water I have had my share of it too.

For anyone researching Galloway in all its permutations in the Northwest the following link to Clyde Senger's book is a must read;

Also John's mother's family can be found here

Hmm, on further inspection I definitely want to drop that line of inquiry, following he marital trials of my big sister's nephews is way too much trouble; Karen was wife number one out of three so far.
