| Lena Frances Bishop (1884-1936)
was born 29 November 1884 in Shamrock, Callaway, Missouri.
Her father, Tyra Jr, moved his family to Hannibal, Missouri, in 1909 (soon after son,
Carl, was born and his mother Nannie died within one day) where Tyra was employed in the Burlington RR Shops.
Lena grew up in Hannibal and would have attended local schools.
At age 35 Lena married William A Shulse (1884-1923) on 7 August 1920 at South Side Christian Church in Hannibal, Missouri.
William worked at the Burlington RR Shops as a painter and Lena worked at the White Star Laundry.
He caught pneumonia and died on 23 January 1923 and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Hannibal.
At the time of William's death there were four daughters, Margaret, Nellie, Ida and Violet Mae.
Margaret, Nellie, Ida (and Mary Nancy and Lulu B) were apparently William's daughters from a previous marriage to D M unknown.
Soon after William's death she married his brother, John M Jr Shulse. By 1925 John and Lena with Violet Mae had moved to St Louis, Missouri. Lena died (found beaten on floor in her home - questionable circumstances?) in St Louis on 1 May 1936 and was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in St Louis, Missouri. Eventually John M Jr Shulse remarried and along with his new wife and Violet Mae Shulse later moved to Galveston, Texas. |
