Re: Cemetery at St. Mary's of the Woods:

Attn.: Tim J. Ward

Made mistake earlier:

Ann (?) married Wesley SPARKS
They had daughter named Leura SPARKS.

Leura SPARKS married a James BALFE (son of William BALFE & Sarah ?) abt.
1880.
Leura SPARKS BALFE gave birth to my grandmother in a log cabin at St
Mary of the Woods 21 Sept 1882. Leura died either in childbirth or
shortly thereafter.

I assume that Leura is buried at St Mary of the Woods area. My
grandmother was raised by her grandparents (SPARKS or BALFE is unknown
to me). My grandmother was married at St Mary's Church is 1905.

James BALFE later remarried and had other children.
Sorry for the confusion
David


married a James Balfe most likely about 1880.
