Biography (Findagrave.com):
As told by Bessie Elizabeth (Lovell) Silvers to her daughter, Alpha Lee (Silvers) [Hansard] Day on July 5th, 1984:
I was born in Petroleum, a small town just out of Bluffton, Indiana, December 23, 1892. At the age of six, my family moved to Michigan about five miles out of Manton in with my grandparent Nutter. We soon moved into a house that belonged to grandad Lovell and lived there until I was 16 and married Fred L. Silvers. This was 1909 and Fred and I moved to Montpelier, Indiana and lived with his folks for a short time. We then moved to Sabo, near Kiefer, Oklahoma.
Floyd was born in this small house and soon after his birth our house burned down and all his baby clothing was lost, as well as everything else. While he was still a small child, we moved to Gray's Corner, just out of Lawrenceville, Illinois. Here Alpha was born and we lived there until Buss was a little boy at which time we traveled by train to Wirt, Oklahoma. This was about 1917. We really lived in a small one-room house located on a company lease. During the Summertime I would take all you children wherever your Dad was working and in the Summer we lived in a big tent near Loco, Oklahoma within sight of the oil well where Fred worked.
About 1919 we moved near Healdton, out toward Wilson and lived in the country. This is where Floyd and Alpha started to school. Jack was born here, January 19, 1920. While Jack was very little, we all moved to Commanche and again we moved out near the well where Dad worked (near Lindsy) and again lived in a very large tent. This is where Floyd learned to read the road side signs - "Bad curve, slow down" - and Floyd said "Bed covers, Snow Brown."
After that Summer in the country, we moved to the Smally Lease, a short distance from Healdton. Our house was 12' x 24', and during this time, Aunt Grace and her three small boys moved in with us because she had no place else to go. The floor, by night, was rows of little boys. A total of ten people lived in this house and it did not seem a problem at that time. I just stepped over the kids and got my work done.
Then Dad left for South America in 1925 and Jack was five years old. Soon after that, 1926 or 1927, we moved into our first big house - the big blue house - out on the road and we lived there and attended Healdton schools until we moved to Stillwater in 1933 just in time for the fall semester of College for Floyd and Alpha.
In 1935, Alpha graduated from College, Buss from High School, and Jack from Junior High all on the same day, and Floyd graduated the semester after that.
After this time, each of you went your own way living in various places.
She was buried in October 1988 in Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier, Los Angeles Co., CA, Findagrave #62954425.
