Clara Woods Rippy Both of them died in 1917. Their children--off the top of my head-- Inez, Mabel, Pearl, Etta or Ada, Zula, Mattie, Amos My problem is that this is an old family. All of the children are deceased. The last one died in 1981. These children had children of their own and they only had one or no children. Ada or Etta(It was Etta on a census for 1900) is my great grandmother. She had two children. Her daughter Clara was my grandmother and she died in 1928 two weeks after giving birth to my mother. What is really annoying is that I was able to find Ellison and Clara Woods Rippy's death certificates in SC archives. There weren't any hints on Ellison's death certificate except that he was from NC. I have since learned that the line between SC and NC moved at some point. Sheila
