I am looking for a miracle and hope that some of the new members to the list can crumble my brick wall! Marion Matthew Farris, born 9/17/1872 in possibly Iowa, died 4/13/1960 in California. His first wife was Laura Ellen Beach, born 12/2/1873, in Illinois; died 6/22/1939 in California, also. Their children: Arthur White Farris, born December, 1892 in Oregon Goldie Belle Farris, born January, 1895 in Missouri Edward Ross Farris, born July 1898 in Oklahoma Ruby May Farris, born January, 1900 in Kansas(?) William Harry Farris, born March, 1902 in Oklahoma Dolly Pearl Farris, born August, 1905 in Oklahoma Mildred Opal Farris, born January, 1907 in Oklahoma Roy Farris, born 1910 in Oklahoma (died abt. 1918) Helen Farris, born 1914 in New Mexico Margaret Harris, born 1916 in New Mexico I have been unable to find parents for MMF anywhere, even from the remaining relatives. It is possible that he could be related to a Thomas Jefferson Farris, but has not been substantiated. If anyone has any information or clues, would surely appreciate. Thanks in advance, Marilyn Johnson Pasadena, CA
