Vera had a daughter, Sharen, by her first husband, Frank Bass. After Frank’s death, she married James Brockmeier on July 16, 1951. Shortly after her marriage she was killed in an automobile accident at Fee Fee and Olive. Daughter Sharen then went to live with John and Evelyn Pellet for a while.
The family lived in the Chesterfield bottoms area until the mid 1950s where they raised corn and wheat. They shopped at Zierenberg’s Market, Dierberg’s, and Castillon’s Market.
