Paul,
I just wanted to let you know William Orman married Hattie Woolsey. She was born in Canada 1864. My Aunt Evelena remembers her from when she was small. She also told me she remembers a child Florence who was William and Hattie's daughter who went outside after taking a warm bath and died from pneumonia. My Aunt is 91 years old and would like very much to find information about her Grandmother, but I can only find her on the 1910 census. I found that William was last on the 1870 census and then he shows up on the 1910 with Hattie, a son named Wiiliam, Jr. born in Westbrook Canada, and also my grandfather Orris, my grandmother Lena, and Aunt Ada living in New York. If you should know anyone who might have some info about the Woolsey family I would appreciate it. I will also send you the list of all of William and Hattie's children when I have time. My Aunt kept all the records from William and Hattie on down to now.

I went to visit my Aunt in Ohio this summer and found out a few more things that might interest you. My grandfather Orris C. Orman was born April 7, 1881, in Watertown, New York. William and Hattie were living in Kingston Ontario, Canada. I am not sure why they went across the border to New York; maybe there were not any hospital close by then. William John Orman, Jr., was born Jan 25, 1890, in Frontenac, Ontario, Canada. They also had a daughter Florence who was born Aug. 2, 1892, in Frontenac, Ontario, Canada. She died Oct 29, 1892, in Canada. I am still trying to get the some other facts together that she told me, and I have pictures I will sent to if you would like.
Miriam.
