Grace Abigail Hembree was born July 27, 1911 in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. She passed on January 21, 2005 in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles County, California. She was the daughter of my great-grandaunt Mary Hembree (nee. Surpluss, 1870-1957), making Grace my 1st cousin 2x removed. The picture is from her Wichita High School yearbook when she was seventeen.
I like to think I am honoring my ancestors and relatives by remembering them, and Grace deserves remembering. She was another one of my ancestral relatives who started doing genealogy, and I was able to build on her work. Thank you Grace.
