Notes for William WOODRUFF
“And my grand-parents brought up William Woodruff with the others. Grandpa Billingham, in driving to town, saw a crowd of people at a cottage. He halted his team and found upon inquiry that a man and wife had died and left a baby no one wanted. Grandpa said “I will take him” and so brought the baby home to grandma. You know it was only one more. 13 in all. That boy was William Woodruff and sometime if you care to know, I can tell you considerable about him. He did more for his foster-parents than their own did.” -from a letter to Mrs. Maud Reed Buchanan from John R. Billingham, dated 10 Aug. 1929.809
