Biography

CHRISTINE V LEE Chesterman

Christine V Lee was born on the 13th of September 1908 in Stearns, McCreary, Kentucky, the TWIN sister of Louis Lee and the daughter of William Thomas "Tom" Lee 1862-1931 and Cinthia "Alice" Blankenship 1867-1935.

Christine's Father, Tom and Mother, "Alice" Lee were the Parents of 15 Children (making Alice over 40 years old at the birth of her last two children):

• (01) Anna Lee 1882–
• (02) Myrtle Luance Lee Allison 1884–1965
• (03) Lizzie Lee 1885–
• (04) Charles Lee 1888–
• (05) Eliza C Lee Davis 1890–1958
• (06) Ira Logan Lee 1892–
• (07) Ida Lee 1894–
• (08) Dora Lee 1896–
• (09) Dolly Lee 1897– **DOLLIE FLORENCE LEE b July 1898-1960

• (13) Delmer Delmar F Lee 1906–
• (14) Christine V Lee Chesterman 1908–1988
• (15) Loiar Losgar Oscar? Lee (male) 1909–

UPDATE 6Aug2017 - #(09) AND (10) in list of Children of Tom & Alice.

• I have discovered that instead of two children born as Dolly Lee and Florence Lee both born in 1897 that they are actually one and the same person. Now, since this is the case, if Tom and Alice Lee were the parents of fifteen children, then there is still one missing, or they only had fourteen children.

On the 15th of June 1928 Miss Christine V LEE married Mr Lawrence Melvin Chesterman 1906-1969 in Indiana.

Christine and Lawrence Chesterman were the Parents of:

• 1 - Lawrence Wesley Chesterman 1929-

Christine V LEE Chesterman passed away at the age of 80 on the 7th of October 1988 in Cape Coral, Lee County, Florida. She was brought back to Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana where she was interred at the Prairie Grove Cemetery where many family members are also buried. Husband, Lawrence M Chesterman shares a large marker with his wife, Christine.
