A Family Tree Chart

Hi there, 

Elizabeth Jane (Lizzie) McCormick Cox was quite a remarkable woman. I’m proud to call her my great-grandmother. I’ve posted pictures (here) and articles (here) about her in the past. 

Today, I took a few minutes to make up this chart using my Legacy Charting software. It shows Lizzie's ancestors at the top and works its way down through the family tree to her name at the bottom. This chart goes back to 1704, Robert Hudnall. The Hudnall family has actually been traced back to the mid 1500s in England by other genealogists, so this chart includes a lot of their work, as well as some of my own. 

Mary Ann Cox Bennight Obituary

Hi all! 

I came across this transcription of the death notice and obituary published in the local newspaper where my grandmother died in Centralia, Washington. So grateful for the many volunteers who transcribe these things and put them online for all of us to access. There are a few tidbits of information here that I didn't have before. It's always exciting to learn something new about family members.
