Surnames: Clark, Oppie, Boddy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZY.2ADI/362 Message Board Post: Although I am not directly related to the Clark and Oppie families, I would like to make contact as Ruby May CLARK married my great-uncle, Eugene BODDY, in 1924. Ruby May (known usually as just May/Mae) was born in or near Peru, Nehama County, Nebraska, in 1906, the daughter of Mabel (OPPIE) and John G. CLARK. Mabel's parents were Edwin (Edward in 1900 and 1910 U.S. Censuses) and Jennie OPPIE. Both families eventually left Nemaha County, Nebraska to settle in Logan County, Colorado; the CLARK family relocated about 1909. Both families are enumerated in the 1910 and 1920 census in precint 16 Mercer. Is that near Peetz, per chance? May CLARK BODDY married at age 18 and died only three years later in 1927. Does anyone have any photos of her? Her obituary (Littleton Independent) states her school days were spent near Sodtown, Colorado, (I can't find on a map, but it must be in Logan County) and Bridgeport, NE. Her father may have left farming to work on the railraod there, as i! n 1930 he is listed in the census as a section foreman for the railroad in Sterling. I look forward to learning more. Sincerely, Patricia Boddy Tharp
