>>>Hello,
>>>
>>>I looked through my notes again and found the e-mail letting me know that
>>>Dorothy BEDELL, b1918 MA, had a first marriage in Malden, MA, to Alfred
>>>NATION.
>>>
>>>Just before 1940, the combined LEWIS / BEDELL family moved to the
>>>Springfield, MA, area (Holyoke, Chicopee). It is a guess that Mrs.
>>>Dorothy (BEDELL) NATION had divorced or lost her husband around that
>>>time, as she seems to have married Ronald BOUTIN in the 1940's in or near
>>>Holyoke, MA.
>>>
>>>Ronald BOUTIN was a cousin of Wilmer VANDERWALL, probably of the
>>>Springfield, MA, area. And, Wilmer was the husband of Dorothy's
>>>younger sister, Shirley BEDELL.
>>>
>>>As per my other postings, I am looking for descendants of Roland and
>>>Dorothy BOUTIN, who reportedly had 3 children, 2 boys and a girl.
>>>And, they might have had a TV/radio shop in Chicopee, MA, possibly named
>>>"Boutin's" probably in the 1960's, etc.
>>>
>>>Thank you for your time.
>>>
>>>Betty (near Lowell, MA)
>>>
>>>
>>>P.S. As per my other postings, this summer I met for the first time
>>>the daughters of my grandfather's BEDELL step-children. The 4 BEDELL
>>>step-children were born in or near Boston, MA, from 1918 to 1923. After
>>>their mother married my grandfather (both had divorced near Boston in
>>>1935), they whole family moved to Holyoke, MA, just before 1940.
>>>
>>>(Some of the step-children were so fond of their step-father that they
>>>changed their name to LEWIS - on their own.)
>>>
>>>(My grandfather, Silas Dean LEWIS (Sr.), was in the Holyoke,
>>>Springfield, and Chicopee, MA, area and Windsor Locks, CT, area from
>>>~1940 until his death in 1961 in Chicopee.)
