    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3BC.2ACE/1427.1 Message Board Post: Hi there, I don't have any information about descendents--I'd be interested in finding some too, if what I have matches what you have. I have a picture taken in about 1917-18(?) that is identified thus by my great grandmother, who is long since dead: My cousin Ernie Newman May Woodrum who later became Ernie's wife Mary Woodrum (this was my gr grandmother's aunt, Mary S. Richardson Newman Woodrum, who was Ernest Newman's mother. After the death of her first husband, Richard Newman, she married John Woodrum. This would make her May's step-mother.) Harriet Richardson (this is Ernie's grandmother) The family was from Coles County, Illinois, around Loxa, Mattoon, Charleston. The Marriage record for Mary Richardson Newman to John Woodrum is from Effingham County, Illinois in 1892. By about 1910, much of the Richardson family had moved to Great Falls, Montana. This picture was taken after that move, but I don't know where it was taken-- I don't know for certain if these particular Newmans and Woodrums went to Montana. I found something online about John Woodrum that said he died in Charleston in 1915. I haven't been able to find further traces of these folks. Does this match up with anything you kow about your Lizzie May? I'd be interested in anything you know about Ernie and May.
