A Glassblower's Children

A while back I shared the story of Adam J Lippert and Catherine Ann Mason – he was a glassblower who died at 43 leaving Catherine a widow with 3 small children – John Joseph, Adam Henry, and Charlotte Elizabeth.

John Joseph was married a few times based on the records but I found only 2 - the marriage to Laura Belle Grimes (1920) and her sister Bernice F Grimes (1948)
