Robert Eugene WESSLEY & Etna L ---
Husband: Robert Eugene WESSLEY, (son of Oscar WESSLEY), b. 1 Mar 1903, d. Jan 1981
My stepgrandfather was quite a character. He lived nine lives it seemed. He smoked and drank all his life and stories have him falling from a ladder, falling in the lake and many other things that should have been the death of him. But he outlived my grandmother by a number of years. He once told me he had been married eight times though I have not been able to verity this.I have only located four marriages Two of his marriages were my grandmother as they were divorced and remarried. His first wife was older than him and a woman named Clara. He married her sometime after 1920 and prior to 1922 when his daughter Roberta “Bobbie” was born. Then in 1925 a boy named Richard “Dick” was born to Clara and Robert E. By 1930 he is married to a woman named Etna and they are living in Jackson County Missouri. I do not think there were any children of this marriage. I later knew Bobbie and Dick his children from his first marriage though I never met either prior wife. Grandpa Bus as we called him was a very funny man and always made me laugh. He loved to eat everything with ketchup eggs and beans and it always amused me. He died when he caught himself on fire when he was cooking and lived in Gravois Mills Missouri
