Classification: Query
Surnames: Whicher, Witcher, Whitcher, Stanley, Price, Ottoway, Stanly
Born - 16 Aug 1872 in Laconia, NH.
Died ~ 1961 in MA.
The Story goes as follows:
Survived smallpox epidemic, but buried Huband=Stanley and two sons. ALways wore a topknot, which she took down during storytelling to show the bald spot left by the pox. ALso had finely pitted face.
Someone said that shortly before Nana Price died she said that she was an "illegitimate child". She is the one who gave me the name of Annorah (Her mother's name) because I have it in my bride's book. She had a brother Ira and I forget if he was her twin or her half brother.
She did have a half sister Sallie Jean who is buried in Rhode Island. She died in the summer of 1945. She was living in Milwaukee with George and Beth Ottoway. Grammy refered to Beth as her cousin but what the whole relationship among everybody was I don't know.
Beth had two sons named Lester and Douglas. We got to know Doug during WWII because he was in the navy and pulled into Boston every once in a while.
Research:
I've searched the census records thoroughly. In 1870 there was a Benjamin and Hannah Whicher living in Laconia, NH. They were 54 and 52 respectively... too old to be having more children. Living with them was a son George age 15. All born in NH.
1930 census reveals an Ira Whicher living in Milwaukee, WI. Born in 1882- he is an unemployed Driver for a construction company. He is born in WI, Father: NH, Mother:WI.
1870- census shows a Charles Stanley b. 1853 in VT living in Laconia and working in a Hosery Mill.
Please- if you have any connection to any of these people and can shed some light, I would appreciate it.
