Mary Jean:

Peter C. Shearon settled in LeMars Iowa and married Nora Hannon who was from Bloomington, Illinois. They had four children, John, James, Josephine, and Mary.

John was my grandfather. He married Veronica Domonique and they had eight children. Most have moved from LeMars.

James never married. He fought in WW1 and received a medal of valour for his service. When he returned, he helped with the family farms.

Mary married (William, I believe) Lasch.

Joshephine died at an early age.

There is another branch of the Shearon tree buried in LeMars on the North End of town. This is the W.T Shearon, and C. Shearon family. No one in my family knows who they are. They seem to have been here a whole generation before my greatgrandfather came from Ireland. Yet, a photo of one of my grandfather's farms bears the name "C. Shearon Farm" on the back of it. I don't know if the photographer made a mistake, or if there had been a relationship known at one time.
