Hello,

I checked my Opel book. Simon Earle Opel married 3 times.

1. Cora Alice Knox dau of James William and Annie Ash Knox. They had 4
children
2. Elsie Mae Beitzel dau of Henry and Cynthis Snyder Beitzel. They had
3 children plus one that Elsie had before marring Simon
3. Anna Ethel Ash dau of Joseph and Ellen Bender Ash They had 2 sons
including Simon Charles, who was killed in the same house fire that
killed his mother.

All are buried in the Glade Mennonite Church Cemetery.

I hope this may help someone.
