    • Evelyn Marcella Fields

    Married: Jun 1939

    According to 1940 Federal Census Records, for Paoli Township, Orange County, Indiana (enumerated in district 59-13 on April 27, 1940 on sheet 61B, lines 67 & 68), Damon Bennett and Evelyn Bennett are listed: Damon, age 20, Evelyn, age 23. She lived in Knox County, KY, on April 1, 1935, he in Orange County, Indiana. His occupation was listed as a laborer in a basket factory. Her census line was marked for supplemental question, and her age at first marriage was 22 and she was listed as a "housekeeper" at home.

    This would put her birth around 1917, or late 1916. Their marriage in 1939.

    An Evelyn Fields attended Jeffersonville, IN High School as a Sophomore in 1942. This would put her at about 18 in 1944, and born about 1926. An Anna Mabel Fields was in the 1939 graduating class.

    Name match? However, I don't think the timeline is right for this to be the same Evelyn.

    March 1, 2012 - Phoebe Fields, 93, of Little Cowan passed away Thursday, March 1, 2012 at her residence. Phoebe was the daughter of the late Cleveland and Kate Smith Adkins. She was the widow of Nelson Fields. Surviving are 8 daughters: Kathyrn Hoskins (Merle) of Union, Evelyn Cosgriff of Little Cowan, Ella Caudill (Mark) of Ice, Juanita Caudill (Curtis) of Ashboro, North Carolina, Janet Napier (John) of Little Cowan, Libby Honeycutt (John) of Whitesburg, Helen Roberts (Danny) of Cowan, and Lisa Howard (Dave) of Lexington; 5 sons: Ralph Fields (Donna) of Cowan, Orell Fields (Laura) of Cowan, Rex Fields (Tilda) of Cowan, Dean Fields (Kathy) of Glade Hill, Virginia, and Gary Fields of Glade Hill, Virginia; 39 grandchildren; 37 great grandchildren; 7 great great grandchildren. Funeral: 11:00 O'clock A.M. Sunday, March 4, 2012 at the Little Cowan Primitive Baptist Church with Oscar Irwin, Woodrow Fields, and Johnny Banks officiating. Visitation: 5:00 P.M. Saturday at the Letcher Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in the Fields Family Cemetery at Little Cowan, Kentucky.

    This Grave indicates daughters Evelyn Fields (Malm), Cecelia Fields (Smith) and Marcella Fields. May be coincidence, but interesting.

    MOUNT CARMEL, Ill. (AP) _ Jack Rodgers, veteran publisher of the Daily Republican Register, died Wednesday after collapsing at the newspaper office. He was 60.

    The cause of death was not immediately released.

    During his 43 years at the newspaper, Rodgers climbed the ranks from newsboy to publisher.

    He began his career at the newspaper in 1955. He served as the newspaper's Linotype operator and shop foreman before his appointment as publisher in 1979.

    Rodgers is survived by his wife, Linda, a 9-year-old daughter, Sarah, and three grown children, Brett, Pebbles and Teri.

    Faye/Elizabeth Pittman

    An "Elizabeth Bennett" was listed on Damon's death certificate as his wife.

    Elizabeth Faye Tate Pittman Bennett

    According to this resource, Descendants of Nicholas Vieillar, she was previously married to Kenneth Raymond Pittman. According to earlier research by Cece's sister, LaRue Fisher, she had two sons, Danny A. Pittman, b. 13 Dec 1955, and Douglas R. Pittman, b. 3 Sep 1957.

    Interestingly, although Damon and Elizabeth weren't directly related, it seems that he and her former husband's sons (it's not clear if they were her sons) may have been.

    Comparing Cece's line and the (step?) sons of Elizabeth Faye Tate Pittman Bennett, we have:

    Danny A. & Douglas R. Pittman -> Kenneth Raymond Pittman (1)-> Albert H. Pittman (2)-> Daniel R. Pittman (3)-> Harrison Pittman (4)-> George Pittman (5)-> James Pittman and Rachel McGrew

    Cecelia Bennett Linder -> Damon Bennett (1)-> Samuel Bennett (2)-> William H. Bennett (3)-> Harrison Bennett (4)-> William M. & Rebecca Pittman Bennett (5)-> James Pittman and Rachel McGrew

    So, if the above relationships are accurate, Cece and Danny A. & Douglas R. Pittman are 5th cousins.
