Hi All:
I’m researching to locate an obit for Chester Bradley Beeswanger (abt 1912 – aft 1958) and a possible son, Noonie Beeswanger, only because he married into a Parrsboro Shore family.
Chester’s parents lived in and are buried in Truro. The male name, Noonie comes from the late Jack Wagstaff who was fairly knowledgeably about most Port Greville families.
I suspect a divorce from Nema Clayola Joyce; Nema m/2 Capt. Nathan Fenwick Tupper in 1945; m/3 Edward Joseph Bourque in 1948.
Nema died 29 Aug 2002 in B.C. and her obit doesn’t mention a son or daughter, Noonie or her 1st hubby, Chester.
Was Noonie an actual person or, was “Noonie” just a nickname for Nema?
Sometimes one has to dig out parents and siblings’ obits and death records to find a key clue for that one person.

I have no direction connection to Beeswanger but can add a little bit as I knew a Vi Beeswanger who went from NS to Sask. in the early 1900's with her family. . If anyone is interested I will share what I have.

He was m/1 6 Dec 1933 to Nema Clayola (Joyce) Tupper Bourque
