I don't recall if anyone on the list is searching Ward, but I'll share this just in case. My mother has a book "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" which was given to her by her great aunt, Mary E. Bailey of DC. Inscribed in the book is "A gift to Mary E. Bailey from Laura Ward." Then someone wrote--Laura Ward died March 19, 1909. We have no idea who Laura Ward was. Hope it helps someone.
