Howard Roy Weedmark was living in Ft Ann per the 1930 Census and listed as a Farmer. His wife Belle was also listed.as living. The Address was 129 Northrup Rd. Ft Ann Township, Washington Coounty NY and the Enumeration District was 58-5 and Superviosor Dist #5 per the Cenus Sheet 6 B. Occupation Farm. It states that they do Own their Property. On the Census Sheet it appears that their neighbors were Frank & Olive Acome and Julius & Sarah Stark. Thhis could help pinpoint their location. Perhaps someone related to Acome or Stark remembers this Couple and the location of their Farm. Belle was 55 years of age and Howard was 54 years of age. Their Date of marriage would of been approx 1922. Howard was previously married and it is possible that Belle might of been. I know all children of Howard (my mother was one) but would not know any children that Belle might of had or her Surname when they married. That also could be of help in locating material. I would be willing to pay for the Land Record on this couple and mailing cost. Please contact me at [email protected] This man was my Bio Grandfather and I am trying to determine a DOD for him so I can obtain his Death Certificate with the names of his parents in Minnesota. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Pat R
