Harry and Maude Woodis

This is part of my Woodis family.  The name has several variations in spelling: Wooddis, Woodas, Woodus... sometimes with 2 "d's" and/or 2 "s's"  This line goes back to Littleberry (Barry) Woodis and wife, Luvana Blalock who were both born in the 1780's in North Carolina.  Harry is their great grandson.  Littleberry's granddaughter was Margaret G. Woodis who married Joseph Phipps in 1864 in neighboring Todd County, Kentucky and they are my Great, Great Grandparents.

We hope that everyone has a great Flag Day!

Remember the U.S. Flag today.

as to what holiday falls on June 14th.  It is not Halloween!]  

However, it is not readily known, but Frankenstein is indeed "buried right here in River City!"  Lester Frankenstein and his wife, Bertha are buried at Mt. Sinai Cemetery.
