Comments: Lorna Beatrice Purdey (Nee: Yats) | MI United States | 1941-1960 | Comments: Although the front of this picture has a handwritten date of 1952, that is impossible as Lorna died in 1943. If you look closely at this picture, it appears as if Lorna is pregnant and towards what would become the end of her life, she had two more children, one born in March of 1940 and her last child born in June of 1942. The appearance of the background leads me to believe this photo was taken in the early summer of 1942. Lorna was born on April 13, 1907 in Isabella County, Michigan. She was the eighth child born to Charles M. and Ella M. White Yats. Lorna and Henry married on November 23, 1927 at the Gilmore Church of Christ in Montcalm County, Michigan. They had eight children together before Lorna died in 1943 while battling breast cancer. Lorna was buried at the Gilmore Township Cemetery in Isabella County, Michigan.
