I am seeking information about Blaney Palmer JR, son of Blaney Palmer and Elizabeth Reed. Following is research I have uncovered so far:

* Blaney Palmer Jr. married Flora Belle Hess, daughter of David McBride and Nancy Hess, in Ripley County IN
* Blaney Jr. and Flora had two children - Coy J born about 1892 and Elsie A. born about 1894/1895 in Ripley County IN
* A Blaney Palmer shows up as passing away in Alton IL in 1929 - this makes sense, on my side, as his children were reportedly placed in an orphanage located in Alton IL when the oldest was around 7 or 8 years old.
* Coy J Palmer married Ellen (Cecilia) Connolly in IL. They had at least one child - Coy E (1918-1920). Ellen died in 1923. He married a daughter of Martin T Craddock and Saluda Patterson of IL but unable to confirm this through marriage records since it is not known if they married in IL or IN or where at in either state.

What I am stumbling on is the following:
* Unconfirmed: Blaney is buried in a Catholic cemetery - same parrish as the Catholic orphanage his children were placed.
* Unconfirmed: Coy J married a second time in IN
* Unconfirmed: Elsie A. moved to Muncie IN and married
* Unconfirmed: Blaney Jr. and Flora divorced
* Unconfirmed: Flora Belle Hess moved to Marion County/Indianapolis area and married.
* Unconfirmed: Blaney Jr. married two more times in Ripley County IN

The talk about Flora and Blaney each marrying again has me curious on if they had any more children. Also, a Blaney Palmer dying in Alton IL has me wondering if, he was married at the time, about if his then wife remained in that area.

I am also curious about Elsie A - who did she marry, did she live in Muncie IN - better yet, did she move to IN or stay in IL? I am also hitting a brick wall with David McBride Hess - parents, any other children besides Flora Belle, etc.
