Hello all,
I also have an undated, unidentified portrait from WC
Bell, 7 North Market Street, Frederick.
This portrait is of a woman sitting in an elaborate
chair, holding what appear to be triplets. Does
anyone have triplets in their family and could claim
this portrait??

I know that the Frederick News Post was around. My question is what is the

Fellow researchers,
My wife and I just visited your "Beautiful County". Can anyone shed
some light on these folks? We are trying to see how a WOODROW (MAYNE)
MAIN & MAHALIA fit into the JOY family. Wonder if CORA and EDWARD could
be his parents. My previous quarries were having him in Frederick as a
barber. On our trip, Robert Speak from Ladiesburg told us WOODROW was
from Damascus.
Any help would be appreciated.
Genealogy is Fun
God Bless You
