I am seeking information on Ira Ellsworth Eddleman. Mr Eddleman married my grandmother Minnie L. Martin Thompson abt. 1938. They were both widowed and had children from previous marriages. They were living in Mena, Polk Co. before and after their marriage. The only information that I have on Mr. Eddleman in that he died abt. 1954. I am researching the Thompson family of the Mena area, but my mother ask that I include Mr. Eddleman because he is the only father that she remembers.

Thanks for any help that you can give on Mr. Eddleman or the
Thompson's.

Donna
