Jessie Opal Rich was born on 11 Apr 1909 in Trezevant, Carroll Co., TN. She died on 5 May 2004 in San Diego Co., CA. She married Peter Scamporino about 1925. The marriage ended in divorce.

Other marriages:
Tremaine, Orville

Appears with husband on 1930 census of Los Angeles Co., CA

I really don't know very much at all! Jessie Opal Rich was born 11 Apr 1909 Trezevant, Carroll Co., Tennessee, d. 05 May 2004 San Diego Co., California. All of the rest of her siblings were born in Missouri.
"Scamp" was Opal's 1st husband. They had no children. I have found two pictures of him that were sent to me by Opal's daughter, Ann. Ann lives in San Diego and has a lot of old family pictures, however, I have had a hard time getting her to make copies of them!
Opal's mother, Edna Stella Vogel-Rich, died suddenly in 1923 in San Pedro, CA and Opal was adopted by her aunt Winifred. Opal was the only girl in a family of five boys, and her aunt thought she would be better off with a female influence. Opal went by the last name of Dwyer. I don't know if she was legally adopted or not. Winifred loved the "high life" and when Opal met Scamp, aunt Winifred encouraged Opal to marry him. She was a very beautiful girl. She did modeling at that time. It looks like they were probably married about 1925, when she was 16 years old. When they divorced, I have no idea. Opal married again on 11 Jun 1934 to Orville Tremaine. Opal's daughter, Ann, has told me that Opal was never good about sharing things about her life. So, I doubt that Ann even knows when Opal divorced Scamp.(provided by Marilyn Rich by email: nrichfmly@aol.com Jan 2009
