2. Almira Louise Williamson2 (Henry1), born 19 August 1901 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio;1, 2, 3, 4, 5 died 25 February 1978.1, 2 Almira married, 24 November 1919 in Putnam County, Indiana, Albert Huston Kean7 (born 18 December 1871 in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana, the son of George W.

Almira and Albert are buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana.1, 6 Almira was adopted by Morton Lowry Acord and Alice Irene Kean.

Almira is the daughter of Henry Jayhue Williamson and Luella Courter, as shown in her marriage record, which also shows Almira’s name as Almira Acord. Almira was apparently adopted by Morton and Alice (nee Keen) Acord, although the reason is unknown. According to census records, Alice had no children of her own, and her obituary does not list any children among her survivors. Marriage records for several of Almira’s children show her name as Almira Acord, while others list her as Almira Williamson. Her obituary shows her parents’ names as Martin [sic] and Alice Kean Acord. Alice is the sister of Almira’s husband, Albert E. H. Kean, meaning that Almira married her adoptive uncle.1, 7
