Daisy B. (nee) Woodson Stackhouse, Research Report, the As It Is Series

Copyright 2022, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

This continues a series of posts, done in a very efficient (make that speedy fast) manner to share some research on the ancestors.  This is NOT intended to be the end all to end all report.  It's a work in progress, to show you what I have found, right or wrong. Kind feedback is welcomed via comments.

Let's begin:

Meet Daisy B. Woodson Stackhouse:


Daisy is far from my direct lines, or those of Man, for that matter.  I was actually researching Frank and his second wife, and Daisy happened.  Sometimes it's my curiosity, sometimes I feel pulled into the research, as if I must continue.  Such is Daisy.  Information about her kept falling out of the research.  Fell into my lap.  Even her obituary.  As I was typing her obituary up, I felt a strong pull to see if I could locate her death certificate and the cause of death of a 40 year old. I found it, and then, asked, oh, why Daisy, oh, why?

Rest in peace Daisy.  I told your story.  And, on International Women's Day.  


* Disclaimers, I use Find A Grave, Ancestry dot com, FamilySearch, several newspaper subscriptions, free sites, such as Virginia Chronicles, Virginia Chancery Cases online at the Library of Virginia and more to research my ancestors.  I pay for subscriptions, full price.

** My judgements may or may not be correct.  Transcriptions may or may not have errors.

*** Links, URL's, for the most part will not be included henceforth on my posts, as so many of them change and then I have to come back and try to re-discover and relink.  Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs.  As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed.  If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me. OR find the method I have outlined on my blog for contacting me.
