Floks, I am currently trying to locate any living descendant of my first great
grandmother's younger sister. The following is what I have that may be of some use in
tracking this cousin.
Mrs. Ann C. Mills was the former Martha Ann Chambliss who I believe was born on 11
February 1938 the daughter of Jesse Royce and Kathleen "Kay" Mallette (Davis)
Chambliss. She first married on 12 July 1959 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon to Robert
William Sherwood. Mr. Sherwood died in Multnomah County, Oregon on 20 May 1977 and is
buried at Mountain View Cemetery, Hood River, Hood River County, Oregon. Keeping in mind
his death date I have found an obituary for Martha Ann's father who died on 23 June
1968. He and his wife were returning to Oregon and he died of a heart attack in
Kremmling, Colorado age 55 years.
The Obituary for Mr. Chambliss dated 2 July 1968 in the Statesman- Journal reveals that he
is survived by his wife Kay and a daughter Mrs. Ann C. Mills of Klamath Falls, Klamath
County, Oregon and 4 grandchildren who are not named.
Several years ago I was contacted by someone looking into their Sherwood family for Ann or
the children. I am tracing the Chambliss - Davis line. She thought that we might have
some luck in finding Ann in Reno, Nevada. I had no luck in finding her at that time.
Just today (26 November 2013) someone from the Reno area called me with a Social Security
Death Date of 8 October 2004 in Reno for Ann Mills with the correct birth date and year.
Her last known address was revealed as 7750 Fowler, Reno 89506. Also at that address was
a Kevin Mills.
It is my hope that someone reading this email from the
Rootsweb.com list will have some
knowledge of this family Thanks in advance.
Daniel
