Searching for Mitchem relatives around McDowell Co. *Carl Mitchem...
My Father was Carl K. Mitchem. I'm looking for information about relatives or anyone who has information on family history.
I have a few pictures of Dad, and my Grandparents posted here: http://picturesofthis.tripod.com/id102.htmhttp://picturesofthis.tripod.com/id102.htm
Here is what I know:
Grandfather: James Garfield Mitchem DOB- 7-2-1887 DEC. 196?
Grandmother: Nora Gray DOB- 11-30-1891 DEC. 8-14-1960
I think they may have had 13 children including my Dad. I remember meeting my Uncle Richard Mitchem at Grandads funeral. I had not started school yet. Dad said Uncle Richard had been crushed in a mine collapse. I think he had a Sister that lived nearby. (Roanoke or Salem Virginia)
Dad: Carl Kelly Mitchem DOB- 5-23-1928 DEC. 4-17-1980
First Wife: Mildred *DEC. ?
Children with first wife: James (Buddy), Robert (Bobby), Gene Allen, Donna Lou, *Carletta, Carl Michael
Second Wife: Kathleen Ferguson (Mitchem)
Children: Calvin Kelly, James E. Mitchem (me)
Dad was killed by a Roanoke county Va. deputy sheriff, Denise Jones who was running out of her jurisdiction, (Salem) and speeding.
