I found a funeral record for Elizabeth Jane Penn Ward. She was a daughter of James Penn. She was married to Dr. J.L. Ward who was the president of Decatur Baptist College. This funeral record has an obituary pasted on it. It says she was born in Ellis County and died in Lubbock. There's lots of information about her daughter, step-daughter and 5 sisters (gives their married names and where they lived in 1965). I'll send it to you in separate email.
