Bio

Our mother spoon fed us our family history, mostly on our maternal side as she was the youngest of 13 & kept all the records. My sister Sandra pulled together all of our paternal history in hard dedicated research & family letters. When I was educated on the computers 25 yrs ago I input what we all had & entered more from many records. My longest wish was to find our ggg grandparents Nelson & Junia Woodruff' s burial & then later realize our gg grandmother was also missing her burial info...all roads lead to the Englishville Cemetery The TWP now is connected to Alpine. The previous owner of this burial site & plot 038 past this on to me as she thought I could learn more. Me on the West Coast & Michigan so far East. After so many years a cousin popped out of Ancestry & lived down the road from the cemetery, discovered the stone was buried deep in the mud, cleaned it up & took a photo!!! I got that yesterday!!!! It is for all my missing relatives and most appeared to have past around 1895 . My ggg grandparents Nelson & Junia are shown on the stone, but someone used "Judson" for Nelson's name, but the Woodruff name was there. Also on the Stone was Ellen Woodruff my gg grandmother & nest to her was Lulu Woodruff Wisner Herbert one of Ellen & Wait Woodruff's daughters. All lived in the area and am sure by the misunderstood Judson name were lost. The stone is homemade & appears to have been painted at one time. I lost so many who could have answered the questions, but this is just one of my greatest finds in the tree. Now to learn how to edit the profile of the grave to show the names of not 1, but 4 people in the family. Enjoy all of your journeys as there are many. Roxanne Woodruff
