Have discovered that my ancestrial Mary, daughter of William John Carnahan(1813-1860) and
Rachel "Nelson"(1809-1877) was born April 22, 1842. She was born in Richland
county, Ohio and married a Christian Ward Jr.
On her death certificate, her name is stated as Mina Ward. I also have found that it was
written the same in her brothers obit.
In a Will of her step-father, a John Taylor, her name is written as Mary Rumina Ward.
It also mentioned in this Will, that she had two daughters, a Jesse, and a Lula. Whether
there were any other children, I don't know.
Most Recently, I found a death obit for a daughter of Christain Ward Jr. It did not
mention her name in the obit.
Mary Rumina "Carnahan" Ward died on February 18, 1917 in Olivesburg, Richland
county, Ohio of pneumonia.
Four days prior to her death, her brother, Arlow Marion Carnahan(Oct. 31, 1850 - Feb. 14,
1917) also died of pneumonia. Arlow was also a resident of Olivesburg.
