Catherin: Thanks for your reply. I do not have much on Thomas Perdue. All I know is her married my grandmother Abby Cunnigham June 25,1905 and had one daughter (my mother) Opal,born (9-16-1907) Mom was never told much about him. What stories past in the family was,he family was from Canada,he was in the militaty at one time and that he was shot when Mom was about two years old,and buried in Jefferson City Mo. But have not found any cemerties that had a Thomas Purdue. I do have there marriage certifcat. Thanks Cathy
