BASIC FACTS

Vadna Alice Rutherford was born on 15 October 1877 in Tennessee.1,7 She and John Albert Kitzmiller were married about 1907.1 She died on 3 November 1938, at age 61, in Bristol, Washington Co., Virginia.7,8 She was buried in Cold Spring Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Holston Valley, Sullivan Co., Tennessee.9,10
Vadna Alice Rutherford had reference number 32645. She was enumerated on the census in Sullivan County, Tennessee (1880, 1900 - 1920); Bristol City County, Virginia (1930.) She was a Nurse - private family (1930.)3 Over the years Vadna's birth year varied quite a bit. In the 1880 Census she is living with her parents and is shown as being born about 1875. In the 1900 Census she is living with her brother, John F. Rutherford, and is shown as being born in October 1877. In the 1910 Census she is living with her much younger husband and is shown as being born about 1879. In the 1920 Census she is shown being born about 1877. And finally, in the 1930 Census, Vadna is shown as being born about 1881. Her grave stone says she was born in 1880. Since she was clearly born before October 1880, I have chosen to use the October 1877 date given in the 1900 Census.

BASIC FACTS

Tessa Sue Cole-DeVault was born on 18 November 1946 in Shelbyville, Shelby Co., Indiana.1 She and Larry Edward Pursley were married on 30 November 1968 in Flat Rock, Shelby Co., Indiana.2 She and James E. Brierly were married on 13 May 1994 in Trimble Co., Kentucky.4 She and Larry Edward Pursley were divorced before 2003.5 She died on 29 May 2002, at age 55, in Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky.1 She was buried in Hanover Cemetery, Hanover, Jefferson Co., Indiana.1
Tessa Sue Cole-DeVault had reference number 32661. She was a Key punch operator (1968.)2 Tessa's biological parents were Dale Edward Cole and Emma Louise "Louise" Yutsler or Utsler. Louise died in 1953 and it appears as if Tessa and three of her siblings were raised by Ralph and Hazel (DeBaun) DeVault.

There is a 1994 Kentucky marriage record for a Tessa S. Pursley to a James E. Brierly. I strongly suspect that this is our Tessa. It was probably a short-lived marriage. James died on 31 Jan 2017 and his obituary does not mention a second marriage suggesting that everyone involved decided to forget about it.
