Caroline Elizabeth Duke
This is my grandmother. She was a great woman. Until she had passed away, I had only really known the names of three of her husbands. Mom used to tell me how my grandmother had almost beat out Elizabeth Taylor in her number of marriages. :) And she outlived all of them.
Her first husband, Ike Sibley - she had a child with. I only remember meeting my Aunt a couple times in my life, but I do remember her. I think I was so small however, that I didn't realize the relationship of people and how it connected to myself. I also probably did not really care.
Her second husband, Johnny Van Brocato is my actual grandfather. I saw him from time to time but I don't think I understood much about him. I don't ever remember full conversations with him. Again, I was very young and likely not real warm when it came to meeting people.
Grandmother's third husband was Arnold Richardson White or loving called "Mickey". I was told many times how much my mom loved this man and really was sad when he was no longer around. He by far is the person with the most information.
Husband number four was a man I know absolutely nothing about. Karl Strand. So if you know something about him - please do contact me. I'd appreciate it!
And finally, the man that I considered my grandfather was Robert C. Wagner. I have quite a bit of information on him as well, but I've yet to get it all online. I will work on that though. I promise.
