Once again you have tried to rescue me - I am actually trying to trace the
Charles H. Woods line - completely lost Effie Pearl for awhile - then found her
married to Lopshire - and the 1920 and 1930 census - but would like to just
finish up the family sheet of Charles H. Woods and list a burial place and
date of death for Effie -
But, Charles H. Woods is another story - when he married Cora Young in Allen
Co., he stated it was his 4th marriage - and he moved all over the place
...... giving up hope of death and burial place for him.....
Here is what I have on him - just in case you are interested:
of Detroit in 1929 at time of his father's death.....
of Denton, Michigan when he applied for marriage license to Cora Young
There is a Denton Twp., in Roscommon County. Michigan
According to marriage application to Cora Young, Charles was married at
least 4 times.
