Misc. Notes
Other records indicate her birth in 1889, but her death certificate lists it as 1890.
She was married to Terry Smith (b. 27 Aug 1883 KY) on 15 Jan 1916 in Marion Co. IN (Bk 84, pg 232) with whom she had a daughter Pearl that year. They were separated by 1920, when she (29, IN) is married but listed again with her parents in Indianapolis with daughter Lucile (5, IN). William Baldwin (41, OH) a widowed boarder was living with them at the time, along with her cousins Dorothy and Ray Wells - children of Richard and Susan.
She later married William Baldwin and her mother came to live with them in Indianapolis following the death of her father. So, the family listed in the 1930 Indianapolis census is William Baldwin (52, KS), wife Fairy (39, IN), step-daughter Pearl (Lucile) Smith (15, IN) and Fairy’s widowed mother Mary (72, IN). It says the Wm was a carpenter and first married at age 23, Fairy first married at 22 (1911?), and Mary first married at 25.
After William’s death, Fairy married a 3rd time in 1935 to Joseph Thompson Proctor (b. 10 Jan 1884 Palmyra, Montgomery Co, TN) and in 1940 they were listed in Mars Hill, where they had been since at least 1935. He was a stockman in a box factory, and living with them was her mother Mary at age 82. It lists Fairy in the supplemental data as having been first married at age 17 (1906?), having born 2 children and completed her sophomore year of High School.
Her husband Joseph registered for the WWII Draft in 1942 and listed Fairy as his next of kin, and his employer as American Valve and Enameling Corp. They lived outside Indianapolis in Decatur Twp.
Her Texas death certificate as Fairy Maude Proctor lists her parents, and says she was married at the time of death. They had lived in San Antonio 5 months.
