She was married to Elijah McClain. She'd be born about 1856 and she died, according to her husbands obit, "several years before" him. He died in 1923 in Athens County, living with his son Linzy McClain. Elijah and Lizzie McClain had several children. One daughter, Electa June McClain Marks, died in Parkersburg, WV in 1928. (If anybody has this obit I'd love a copy!) Electa June Marks had a daughter from a previous marriage, Myrtle Amelia McBride, b. 1900. Myrtle McBride married Otto Clifton Baum in Wood County, WV 4/29/1922. All three of their children were born in Wood County, WV. I know that Lizzie McClain died in West Virginia because my great grandfather (Charles Curtis McClain) told the story of going to WV when she (his mother) died. He lived in Athens County Ohio. I'm hoping maybe Lizzie was staying with her daughter or other relatives in parkersburg when she passed away. If anyone has any info on thi! s family line, I'd certainly appreciate it. Please email me at JEWEL8118@aol.com I have tons of info on this family, as well as some pictures, that I'd gladly share. Other known locations associated with this family are: Athens County, Ohio; Hocking County, Ohio; Braxton County, West Virginia; Frametown West Virginia. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out with this long standing mystery! Julie North
