September 27, 1921 – September 17, 2005
When Ada Guthrie was born on September 27, 1921, in Brandonville, West Virginia, her father, James, was 42, and her mother, Carrie, was 32. She had one son and five daughters with John W. Boyd. She died on September 17, 2005, in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, at the age of 83, and was buried there.
Before she died she documented her thrilling life in Brandonville, West Virginia. Ada had ability to notice details and remember events. Her skill in story telling and writing shows in the memoirs she left, and that I share through this blog to you. It took me and my wife Valarie some time just to have everything copyrighted. Now, we have been transcribing her memoirs.
