Subject: [ALBARBOU] To: Bonnie Tharp. Do you know of a C.C. Tharp

Today I was in Eufaula looking around Fairview Cem. I was looking for the first wife of Will. H. McGilvray, my great grandfather. Her name was Ollie B. Tharp. She lived from Jan 1, 1898 to Nov 12, 1918. Her parents were C.C. and V.L. Tharp this is what is written on her grave.

The inscription reads: "My own dear wife has gown" this is a sad thing to read and to know that your great grandfather had this placed on her grave but then again if she had not died when she did I would not be here right now. So it was weird to be standing there looking at the grave of someone that in some respects died so that I would be born. I don't mean she died for me I do not know what killed her at such a young age but it was a strange feeling standing there. She died November 1918 and my great grandfather remarried this time to my great grandmother not even 2 years later on June 20 1920.

If you have any information on her parents please let me now. Thanks
