This is not one word against Nancee's message, please understand, but a
correction to the spelling of Mary A Curry "Biddle" as it appeared in the
newspaper. It did spell her married name wrong -- the B should be an R.
She was Mary A. Curry Riddle, wife of Thomas Riddle, mother of Hildah, Mark,
and Guy.

Mary is the daughter of James and Arabella HARTMAN-HOUSEMAN RIDDLE. A full
sister of Martha/Mattie Knowles, and a half sister of William A. Curry whose
mother was Hannah ARMSTRONG CURRY.

Therefore, my grandmother, Mrs. William Cora CURRY WOODS and Hildah, Mark,
and Guy RIDDLE were double cousins. The widowed Cora was married to Gene
MASSEY also of Woodland for a time.

Should anyone desire to know more ... these people were from the Woodland
area of Decatur Co, IA, and are included in "a partial history of the
RIDDLE-BEAVERS family ..." compiled by my cousins Andree HOEMAN, Sue
BEAVERS, Sharon AASHEIM AND myself, Gayle GRAHAM/GARDNER.

Thanks Nancee!
Gayle
