Does anyone on the Forum recognize Edward Storm Carpenter b. circa 1880s
and Ruth Evans b. 1902 who were in Brooklyn, NY in 1920 and Portland, OR
in 1927? See more details below.

(Robin, I will place this on a couple of Carpenter Forums. I will also
check on a lead or tow and let you know what I find. JRC)

John-Thanks for the quick reply. Ruth Evans was b. Feb. 8. 1902 in
Brooklyn, died Oct. 1975 in Portland, OR. Yes, she was divorced when
she married Carpenter. Evans is her maiden name. I'll try to get my
aunt's maiden name. My mother and aunt had the same mother. In 1920
they lived in Brooklyn. My aunt was born there in July, 1922. My
mother was born in Portland, OR in 1927. Ruth married again, to Victor
Edholm in 1940, in Portland. The social security death index has Ruth
Edholm.
Ruth and Edward lost a child to whooping cough in 1927, a twin to my
mother, Lila Lee Carpenter. Her twin was Gloria Lynn Carpenter. They
were born in Portland, OR on Jan. 22, 1927. He disappeared sometime
after...I don't know the year.
Grandma said he "went out for a pack of cigarettes." I believed that
when I was little....my family never talked much about these relatives.
My aunt doesn't like dredging up the past....too many skeletons I
guess. If I could find out who Edward's parents were....in Wyoming,
when he was born, probably 1880's or late 70's. My grandmother Ruth
always said that her mother Florence Wright was a cousin to Wilbur and
Orville Wright. Her mother was born in Carson City, Nevada...most people
go west, mine went east. Figures.
I wish I had more. If I did I guess I wouldn't be pestering you.
Thanks again. Robin
Correction: Ruth died in Jan 1974, Multnomah Co., Portland, OR SSN is
