AFter Samuel's first wife passed away he married Anna Schooley together they had two children that I know of Addison and Sara(n) That is the only information I have on his family, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much! Denise

Not a relative, but a close friend of our family was Ollie Dent Carver (Mrs. Evan Carver) ... I may have a photo of the two of them. I am guessing that Ollie was a bit older than my grandmother, Cora Curry Woods who was born in 1876. I would encourage you to look for this family in the area around Woodland in Decatur County to the west of Wayne County. In the 1940's my parents visited Iowa (I was a small child and had to stay home). While visiting Eban and Ollie they were offered their wonderful old parlor organ. My parents did not have a way to get it home. I have always been sad about that. (Me? I would have found a way to crate it up and get it home somewhere, but just at the end of WWII they were probably more concerned about gasoline and tired than an old organ -- smile) Gayle
