I have James Ward's obituaries
and
funeral card. 4) I
have a transcription of an extensive interview
I did with my grandma - Ruth Evelyn (Holum) Ward - in October 2005.
She was nearly 97 years old at the time. She mentions James William
Ward and Emma Lois (Williams) Ward in this interview. 5) My sister and I
affectionately referred to our great-grandfather, James William Ward, as
"Pipe Grandpa" because of the fact that he was rarely seen
without a pipe in his mouth. 6) I am lucky to have numerous
items that belonged to James William Ward and Emma Lois (Williams)
Ward. |
