[CHAUDOIN-L] CHAUDOIN Information from Doris M. Irwin
by Audrey Shields Hancock
Doris sent this to the list, but had her "HTML" setting on, so it came to my
mailbox as a default, since Rootsweb does not accept HTML. I have revamped
this and am sending it through as she has wished.
Doris, did you find your grandmother in time to know her, since it appears
she just passed away. I remember you were looking for information about
her, as well as looking for her. Did you find her in time?

TO ALL CHAUDOIN (SHADOAN) RESEARCHERS.
I want to let all persons concerned know about some more information I have
obtained on the Chaudoin (Shadoan) Family.
My grandmother is (was) daughter of Josiah Shadoan and Amanda Jennie Wilson.
Her name at birth was Zada Happle Shadoan born November 16, 1908. In 1935,
for personal reasons, she changed her name to Zada B. Allen. She passed
away June 28th, 1999 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. She was buried
alongside her mate, James F. Allen at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Hurst Texas.
She was buried on June 30th, 1999.
The dates of birth and death of her husband are April 16, 1900 (place
unknown to me). He died September 17, 1955. I have been told that they
