Ann Elizabeth Drake Dodge
Potter County Journal - Wednesday July 26, 1922 50th Anniversary of Alfred Wallace Dodge and Ann Elizabeth Drake Dodge Obituary for Alfred Wallace Dodge hysband of Ann Elizabeth Drake Dodge Cemetery Stones for part of this family Aside from the fact that this family has Dodge ancestry that we have not yet been able to find, there is another mystery regarding their child, Lula B. Dodge. On this page we have a cemetery stone for a David Ingram who is the husband of Lula B. Dodge, by whom she had 4 children, one of which was named after her father, Alfred Winslow Dodge, but in the obituaries, it states that the daughter of Alfred and Ann, Lulu Palmer, attended the funerals. This reference to Lulu Palmer as a daughter is a MYSTERY!! There IS a Lula C. Palmer in the Michigan census who was born a couple years apart from Lula B. Dodge, and married a Leroy Palmer. They had 2 children.There is no way, however, that these two Lulas' can be the same person...so...WHO was the Lulu (or Lula) that married Leroy Palmer? |
