Message Board Post:
I am looking for information about my grandmother. Her name was Dorothy Lorraine CADE. She
was born June 18, 1917, in Alaska, the daughter of William Earl CADE and Alta Francis
FURNISH. Not long after, the family moved to Albany, OR. She was a freshman at Madison
High School in 1932. Sometime within the next 3 years, she left school. She returned to
school, spending her senior at Albany High School in 1938. There she was introduced to her
future husband, Ray MUDGETT.
We did not find out until after her death that she was married once before. This is the
information I am looking for. I know only that his name was David, and there was a child
born to this union. The baby died, probably within the first year, and was buried in
"the big cemetery" in Albany. The marriage ended shortly after.
I'm not sure what happened to the husband. I don't know if he died, or they
divorced. It's possible this is why my grandmother left school. It's also possible
the pregnancy occurred out of wedlock. That might be why I'm finding it so hard to
track it. My grandmother was our family historian, only revealing this information to her
eldest daughter, much later in life. She even showed her a photo of the boy's grave.
She never told her the father's name.
Only one of my grandmother's siblings remains. My great-aunt doesn't remember
much, as she was 13 years younger than her sister. She remembers his name was "David
something".
I know it's not much, but any information would be helpful. Even suggestions for
where to search would be appreciated. I've hit an enormous brick wall with this.
