California 1920/1930
The 1920 and 1930 census for the state of California shows one Bessie Knechtel living with Frederick A. Pierce.There are two children in the home William Zook and Martha B. - both listed as Bessie's children, Frederick's stepchildren.
Bessie is born about 1891 in TN per the census ... I know Bessie was at one time married to a Zook, and she also carries the last names Brunette, Tanner, and the blackfoot name Copete --- does anyone with Knechtel ties recognize this person.
I have no death record for Bessie .. and 1930 is the most current census available - any help would be appreciated.
