George Benton Beeney was the biological father of my paternal great grandmother, Maxine Elizabeth (Davis-Kernan) Smith (1912-1992), who was first married to Delmar Clair Kernan (1908-1979). George and his wife, Gladys M. Cook (1894-1957), separated and later divorced soon after Maxine’s birth. Following this, George eventually returned to Ohio.
