This child is the sixth of Jim Britton and Ala Mary Kenny. A brief history of her was that she was born, lived and was buried in Denison. She continues the line of family members that are buried within Oakland Cemetery, in Denison, Iowa. She would have five children overall with William.
The same year that William and Beese got married was the same year that a civil war monument was dedicated outside the courthouse in Denison.
Her first child, Beese, would meet William Richard Guhl (1921-2001) while he was on leave with the U.S. Navy. They married in 1944 and would four children together. They are currently living in Hutchinson, Minnesota, along with Landale, Pennsylvania, and Denison, Iowa.
Their second child, Grace, would marry in 1944 to Melvin Leo “Crip” Miller (1922-1986). They would have five children, which from my records are three sons and two daughters.
Avis Nadine married Richard Arthur “Dick” Iversen in November 1947. Prior to their marriage, he worked on the family farm and enlisted into the U.S. Army. He served with the 2nd Infantry Division and was wounded during the Rhineland Campaign on March 10, 1945. He received the Purple Heart Medal for her duties and service on that day.
Their last child, James was born in Denison, died in Omaha, and buried in Washington State. He also served within the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. After the war, he was a sheriff for the county of Crawford in Iowa. He would marry Marilyn Sorrell (1935-2005) in 1995. They would have no children together.
Their fourth child was William “Billie” Steuart Jr. He served within the U.S. Coast Guard and stationed in Korea. He married his high school sweetheart, Mary Kirk, and was married for 56 years! They would have two children named Christopher who resides in Seattle, and Grace who resides in Washington State.
The reason for his named to be starred is very important. In 1998, there was a re-dedication to the monument for Jennie Wade in the Evergreen Cemetery, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He is seen laying a wreath at the monument for the first time ever for descendants to see the monument.
