Hi. It's me again!! I just found who you are. Are you and I kin through the Farnam's?? Anyway, our (??) grandfather was one of Oliver's children who was born in Florida. As far as I know, he and Nan, his last wife (who we heard so many tales about!!,) were still married and living in either Okaloosa or Walton County when he died. I know their son Winford, died in Cantonment and was buried in Baraccus Military Cemetery in Pensacola. His last wife was Nancy Katy (or Katy Nancy) Wise. They always spoke of her as "Nan", and they only had the one son. I think Charlie died in Walton County, and ironically, that is the county where Mary Ellen lived, remarried and died. Seems like I found somewhere that he died in 1931, but I'd have to look it up. Anyway, you can contact me personally. BTW. I have a few pictures of some of Mother's sisters and brothers. My mothers name was Esther, and she's in the 1910 census with charlie and Mary Ellen. My father knew Charlie well, and he gave the me the names of some of his sisters. More later. Joanie.

Joanna, it is Donna. I have joined in the hunt for Charles Braxton Farnham's place and date of death. Joanna, I do not believe he died in 1930...here's why. I have an obit of Isabella Farnham Dauphin who died in 1933, on the obit, it lists Charles Farnham as a survivor..I also found a census that lists him in 1920 living in Poley,Al and I believe I found him in 1930 in Florida. I can not find him after 1930...but the obit of Isabella, has him living in Covington County again.

Thank you Donna for verifying that he had a sister named Isabella!! I was looking through my Bible this morning on that family info, and Daddy said one of his sisters name was "Isabelle" but I could never find it!! I finally found that the one that Daddy said was called "Tuzz", ( he never knew her real name) in the (I think) 1910 census and I'll have to look it up again but I think it was Ophelia which is also the middle name of Charlie's daughter, Rosie Ophelia. When I sent the last message that Uncle Winford died in Cantonment, I couldn't remember the county, but it is Escambia. BTW. I had some financial and medical surprises and was without a computer for a couple of months but am back on now!! I been away so long that I have to refresh my memory on a lot of this!! How are you related to Charlie? He was my grandfather, as I stated, and Daddy knew all of the family. He loved "Uncle Charlie", as he said everybody always called him. (Did you know that Janet Moore's husband is a direct descendent of Charlie?) And in one of the censuses, his last name was listed as "Farmer", as was a lot of times. Later. Love ya. Joanie.

And also, that survivor "Charles" could have been Uncle Bud. Do you have a copy of it? Where did Charles live? Can you send me a scan of it when you get time? I have a copy of his and Mary Ellen's marriage certificate, and they were married in Conecuh County in December 1900 or '01, when Mary Ellen was just turned 14 years old, and he was in his 40s. My daughter called, so bye for now. Love ya.
