On This Day in 1904, Peggy's Widowed Great-Grandmother Remarries

On this day, March 26, 1904, in Astoria, Oregon, Peggy’s great-grandmother Anna Elizabeth Williams Paul married her second husband, Arthur Lauren Woodbury, and she became Anna Elizabeth Williams Paul Woodbury. Her first husband, Peggy’s great-grandfather, James Benjamin Paul, had died Feb. 13, 1901 in Portland, Oregon. Anna had been his second wife (following Lucinda Ann Risen). Anna and Arthur had one daughter, Ina Garnet Woodbury, whose middle name came from Garnett, the county seat of Anderson County, Kansas, where the Pauls had settled before 1860. Arthur Woodbury would be Peggy’s step-great grandfather.
