Narrative

Note: Researching Goldie Beckley

Interestingly, both of the indexed Ohio birth records I can find for Golda Beckley list her as male; one of them has a visual scan available for inspection, and her listing is very definitely marked in the "male" column for gender.

Her marriage in 1906 to Nelson L. Lesher is the only record I can find for him. His parents' names are given in the record as John J. Lesher and Elizabeth Lindemuth, and I can find some records for the two of them - including birth records for three daughters, their own marriage record, and their burials in Montgomery Cty, Ohio - but I cannot find any census listings for them at all. I've not found any birth or death record for Nelson, and no burial listing anywhere so far.

In the 1910 US Census, Goldie is living as a servant (without her husband but listed as married) in the household of the widow Sara Wire, and in the 1920 US Census, she's listed as a widow in the household of her younger brother Glenn and his family. In both listings she is given the surname Lesher.

Goldie's death came in 1922, and she is buried in Claibourne Cemetery in Richwood, Union Cty, Ohio, with her parents and at least a few of her siblings. Her gravestone bears the name "Goldie Beckley."

I have not found any indication that Goldie had any children.
