As a RAOGK (Random Act of Genealogical Kindness) would be pleased to send to a descendant
or other relative her small poetry book, Songs of the Outdoors. Book is signed "To
my dear friend, Sarah Painter..... Lovingly Marion C. Ellenwood.
Sarah Painter was my husband's aunt, and a librarian at the College of Wooster. The
jacket back says her husband was Carl Ellenwood, a professor of horticulture and that they
had two children, Virginia Ellenwood Schinnerer and Robert C. Ellenwood.
The jacket also says that she was a "student of genealogy" and a member of
the Daughters of the American Revolution. That should mean that her lineage papers can be
accessed. It also indicates that she traced her family back to the time of Charlemagne.
