Glenn Woods & Birdie Ann Lee, Linton, North Dakota, c1910: Going Home

The latest vintage photo going home to a descendant is a c1914 photo of the young family of Glenn Woods & Birdie Ann Lee, who lived in the town of Linton, Emmons, North Dakota.

Glenn Woods was born on 5 September 1885 in Gratiot County, Michigan. Exactly when he left Michigan for North Dakota isn’t known, but he married Birdie Ann Lee in Emmons County on 24 December 1907. The couple spent the rest of their lives in Emmons County.

Birdie Ann Lee was born on 27 October 1888 in Emmonsburg, Emmons, North Dakota to William and Sarah Lee.

This photo depicts Glenn and Birdie with their children Carl, Ellen and Ralph. However, eventually this small family grew to include ten children. Most of their children lived very long lives with one child passing away aged 100 years and another aged 105 years! It also appears that one of their children is still living, aged 104 years.

Therefore, the information on the next generation of family members will be very limited, due to privacy issues.
