Alice Withrow gives birth to illegitimate daughter, Lillie in West Virginia.. most likely Greenbrier County. I have not currently found any birth documents for Lillie.

I have however, talked to a few granddaughters of Lillie's. They said that Lillie never talked about her childhood. Obviously it was rough growing up the stigma of being illegitimate, but also being abandoned made it doubly hard.

Lillie and Bertha met up with their half siblings late in life. It's currently unknown how they found out about each other, or who made the first move. However, Iris Hurt Smith, Lillie's Granddaughter, did say that Lillie wasn't enthused with the idea of meeting her half siblings. So we know she didn't start the search. It's also believed that Lillie knew Alice lived in Arkansas. Lillie's daughter (Grace) always wanted to meet her grandmother, and knew they didn't live too far away. Just a couple states over. But Lillie would never let her.

Alice V Withrow gives birth to her 2nd illegitimate daughter. Again there is no proof that I have found of her birth.

I am currently trying to contact some of Bertha's grandchildren.

I don't have a record of this birth yet, but census records all show Illinois. I have talked to grandchildren of George's and some say they believe it was Chicago.

The Arkansas delayed birth records say Perry County. I need to get further proof of this birth

Edna's social security application states that she was born in Bald Knob, AR. Another source states Judsonia. Check White County for birth records for Edna.

Twins Ruth and Ruby are born. Most likely White County, but I have no record of their birth.

Alice married WL Ward in White County AR. I believe his name was William Ward. The record states that Alice was living in Searcy, AR at the time.
