Looking for anyone in the Tipton - Elwood Indiana vicinity that may have
known or
have information on a Williams family who resided in Elwood as early as 1900
and as late as 1940-41. Also may take in Clinton and Hamilton Indiana
Counties as possibilities.
I believe I have exhausted all the capabilities of the Elwood Library and
currently have a query into the Tipton County Library. Both of these
libraries have been extremely helpful.
Specifically I'm trying to find Ella M. Russell Williams (my grandmother),
Carrie O. Williams Kennedy (my aunt) and Herschel Williams (my uncle).
Ella was married to John W. Williams allegedly in 1883 in Tipton. John was
born in 1862 and died June 27, 1927. I have no birth or death dates on Ella.
Carrie Williams I believe was born in 1882 or 1883 and married Ben Kennedy on
March 6, 1901. I don't have location or death dates on Carrie.
With respect to Herschel Williams I don't have much. I believe he may have
been incarcerated in a prison in 1937 or 1938. He owned a restaurant in
Elwood in 1916 and supposedly may have been married to Zula Beaver in 1910.
There is a rumor that Herschel may have been associated with a rest home in
Anderson in some capacity. I can't confirm that this.
I know that Ella and I think Hershel lived on 8 th street in Anderson,
Indiana in December 1941. After that some aliens must have vaporized them. I
haven't been able to do any good in Anderson hence my reason to see if any
Anderson people may be listening.
Please someone help me continue. Respond to either INTIPTON or directly to me
using my e-mail address.
