Surname: Day, Pence, Porter
-------------------------

Mary Elizabeth Pence, born Feb 1866, married Wm Riley Day. They had 5 kids
- Ollie, Jetty, Lindley, Forrest and Vivien (Babe). This family travelled
quite a bit, but spent time in Nebraska and South Dakota for sure, eventually
taking up a homestead in Athabasca District, Alberta, Canada in 1904.

In 1921, Mary Elizabeth left her husband and moved to Modesto, Stanislaus
Co, CA, where she ran a boarding house until her death in Sept, 1950. Her
daughter, Ollie, also lived in Modesto area. Ollie was married to Orion
Porter.

Mary Elizabeth is our great-grandmother and we're interested in furthering
our knowledge of her life in CA and contacting other descendants.
