Person:Bernice Isley (2)

NOTE: Bernice most probably was not born an Isley. She was not enumerated with the family in 1920. She was shown as Bernice "Ferper", age 17, boarder, in the 1930 census. "Ferper" is not a correct surname. I have not been able to locate a census record with that last name in any census. Her death record, Book 95, page 119, does show Jess Isley and Lettie Jones as her parents.
