Brenda Tried to send this to your e-mail address but for some reason message would not go through. Appreciate the time and effort you put forth in looking for my relatives. I realize I didn't give you much to work with. First I don't know very much. Other than what was in my e-mail I can add that the Ella Williams you referenced could not be my grandmother as her birth date corresponds to my adoptive mothers (Cora Edith Williams) birth year. Cora was born May 27, 1895, in Illinois. She died in September 1936 in Troy, Ohio where we lived at that time. My grandmother was probably born late 1870s or early 1880s. Herschel Williams I know even less about. He and Cora were brother and sister but which one was older or younger than the other I don't know. I do know that Herschel was alive in 1936 and 1937 or 1938. He was a shady character having made a fortune during prohibition but continued his illegal activities that eventually put him in prison for a while. I met a fellow who lived here in Pigeon Forge a couple of years ago who was from Anderson, Indiana and he was the one that told me his uncle knew Herschel and thought that he was involved with those rest home enterprizes. He moved and I can't find him. Incidentally, you can tell by the age of my adoptive mother that I am not a teenager. Will be 74 in May. Both of my adoptive parents have been dead for many years. Neither parent ever told me I was adopted and by the time I found out I was all my relatives had passed away. Again thank you for your help. If I can be of any help to you let me know.
