Looking for info on my uncle Edward Richard's wife. My cousins have asked me to help find information on the family.
Lena Mildred Nye, born Aug. 10, 1910 to Charles & Margaret Nye. She had a sister named Charlotte Louise who was 2-3 years younger. Father's name may have been Clarence A. She was in the Topeka, KS Children's Home from 31 May 1918 to 06 Nov 1919. Adoption final approx April 5, 1920. Mary E Gregory's name comes up on the adoption, but she died in 1923. Then a Viola Miller shows up in the 1925 census with a daughter Mildred, whom we are sure is Lena. Lena Mildred or Mildred Lena ?? married a William P. Smith. They divorced in 1938. She then married Edward A. Richard and lived in the Emporia, KS area. She had two children, Larry & Sheila (my cousins, still living). Names she may have been known by are: Lena Mildred Nye, Lena M Thompson, Lena M. Gregory, Mildred Marie Miller, Mildred Marie Smith and Mildred Marie Richard.
