LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A POSSIBLE 'CONNECT' TO A LIVING DESCENDANT OF THIS FAMILY GROUP:

Rosa May Hedges b.ca. 1892 MO m. 29 Sept 1908 in Savanna, Andrew Co. MO Frank Israel Winfrey b. 20 Apr 1879 Wathena, KS d. 27 Nov 1949 St. Joseph, Buchanan Co. MO. Rosa May Hedges was the daughter of Emily V. Heath and her first husband Phillip 'Martin' Hedges who were living in Harrison Co. MO. Phillip M. Hedges died in 1903 before Rosa married, and her mother Emily V. Heath Hedges went on to marry 3 more times.

Frank Israel Winfrey and new wife Rosa May (Hedges) Winfrey went early in their marriage to live in Oklahoma where his widowed mother and some of his siblings had moved to. Their first 3 children were born in OK. They returned to Missouri for good by 1917 and remained the rest of their lives in St. Joseph, Buchanan Co. MO where Frank I. Winfrey was a foreman for the Chase Candy Company. Frank I. Winfrey died in 1949 and his wife Rosa May survived him. He is buried in St. Joseph Memorial Park Cemetery in Buchanan Co. MO. Their known children (there may have been others):

Rosa May Winfrey b.ca. 1910 OK m. Homer Lavern Holland
Emily Sabina Winfrey b. 20 Apr 1912 OK (never married) Buried St Joseph Memorial Park Cem. Buchanan Co. MO
Ray or Roy Winfrey b.ca. 1915 OK
Owen Winfrey b.ca. 1917 MO

I could not access the 1930 census to see what happened to each of these children so if anyone has additional information to trade or exchange, or any old PHOTOS would really appreciate it. I do have a very very old photo of Rosa May Hedges mother Emily V Heath sitting with her entire family, including her parents and am happy to share that with you.
