Margie Reed real name Mazie Grover

Margie Reed, I believe is Mazie Grover born 3 Jan 1884 in Plain, Ohio. Margie rec showed born 1884 in Ohio. I found no records at all for a Margie Reed with that info.

Parents were: George Lair Grover (1860-1939) & Effa Jane Smith (1963-1940). 

Here's Margie Reeds story:




Inmate #20525 San Quentin
Rec: 18 Feb 1904
Crime: Grand Larceny
Term: 2 years
Age: 20
Discharged: 18 Oct 1905





Here's some newspaper article for Margie and boyfriend Grover Cleveland Weyant.





So it clearly states Glover and Margie in this article.

Then I found these article about Mazie.

 Canton, Ohio 1908


There are two more article about her going to Baltimore, Maryland to be a star, but they are hard to read.

This note I found on a tree on Ancestry: 1916 obituary for George Grove, Mazie's father, lists her as "Mrs. D.C. Weyant of New York. Written notes made by Florence Grove, Mazie's sister, in 1970 say she "married Grover Weyant from Colorado." (No idea whom wrote it).


Mazie's father died 27 Apr 1916 in Stark, OH





Here's a photo of him I found



                                      George Lair Grover 

MAry "Mazie" Grove & Margie Reed are one in the same I believe. She married Grover Cleveland Weyant before 1916. They must of gotten married after she was released from prison, would be my guess, I found this record, 

NAME: Grover C Wyant
MARRIAGE DATE: 18 Mar 1912
MARRIAGE PLACE: Coos, Oregon, USA
HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS: 252556

This is all I found except Grover died 31 Mar 1939 in Mendocino, California, USA and Margie "Mazie" died 4 Feb 1956 in New York, NY, USA

I made them a tree on Ancestry and there are a few other trees but no one has made this connection yet. I feel in my gut that Margie was telling me she wants people to know who she was and that Mazie got into trouble paid her debt and lived a good life. 

Here is your story Margie "Mazie" Reed Grover, as much of the truth as I could find. Rest now and be at peace, you are home.
