Bernice Goldie Boyer Young was my great-great-aunt. We called her Tanta Goldie. She did marry Theodore Scheer and had one child by him, an infant who was born dead and who is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Dixon, Il. They divorced. Later she married Charles Young and remained married to him until his death (stroke or heart attack). Not sure when he died, but it must have been after the 1920 census, where Bernice G. and Charles R. Younge are listed as living in
St. Joseph, MI.
In the 1930 census, you will find her as G. Bennie Young, living in St. Joseph, MI.
as head of household. If you look at the original handwritten document, you can see that "Bennie" is probably a mis-reading of "Bernice". Her age is listed as only 46, but she was a person who did not like to talk about her age. In the 1920 census, she admits to being 39, also incorrect. But both her parents are listed as being from Pennsylvania and Samuel Boyer and Rebecca Emerick Boyer were indeed from Pennsylvania. And the residence checks out. My mother can verify that in 1930, Goldie Boyer Scheer Young was living in St. Joseph, Mi.
However, in the 1930 census, Goldie Snyder is living with William Snyder in New York with a bunch of younger Snyders.
