Hello,
I am sending in what little I know of my connection to the CARD
family.
I haven't had much luck in finding my g-g-grandfather, Leonard
CARD.
Hope someone has found him in their search.
Also hope the CARD's I found in the NC census is of help to
someone.

Della Isadora CARD is my g-grandmother. She died in Little Rock,
AR but is interred in State Line Cem in Texarkana AR-Miller Co.
Della and Stephen lived in Taylor MS near Oxford. She left
Stephen in MS abt 1904, took her younger children, and moved to
Texarkana AR/TX where her son Claude had moved to.
I found them in:
1910 LAFAYETTE CO MS Stephen by himself
1900 LAFAYETTE CO MS Della listed as Della
1880 LAFAYETTE CO MS Della listed as Isadora
Did Della name any of her children familiar names in any CARD
families?
Della moved to Little Rock, AR about Sep 25, 1920 to be near her
son, my grandfather Samuel Otis Nicholas and her daughter, my
great-aunt Patty.
After 20 years of searching, I finally found Della's death
certificate that stated her parents as Leonard CARD and Martha
O'Neal. The informant stated Della was born in Orange Co. NC. and
her parents in NC.
In searching the NC census indexes, I found several CARD
families, but not my Leonard CARD.
I have several pictures of Della and her sister Betty. I don't
have Betty 's married name, on the back of the pictures state
"Aunt Betty"
In a picture taken about 1898 Della, with my grandfather, Samuel
Otis Nicholas, Della had a mole or wart on the right side of her
face, near her nose. I have another picture taken many years
later and the growth is huge, but evidently it was benign, since
she lived at least 25 more years from the 1898 picture to 1923.
The reason I mention this is to ask if any of your CARD family
members ever had a growth, and could it be a family trait in the
genes?
I have the 1898 picture of Della and my grandfather at:
