The Wilcox Family

Lately, I've been very busy researching the Wilcox branch of the Reese family descendants.  As mentioned the the Nov. 6th 2011 post, Adam Reese's son William Henry Reese takes his family to Washington State in the 1890s.  William's daughter Ruby Amelia Reese, who was born in Reeseville, Illinois accompanies her parents to Washington.  By the way, Amelia is also the middle name of Adam's sister Ella.  Ruby marries W.W. Wilcox and they raise a large family in South King County, Washington.
  I found a family portrait of Ruby surrounded by her adult children.  The people in the photo were not identified by name, so we didn't know who was who...

.... Until now.  I made contact with Ruby Amelia Reese Wilcox's living granddaughter, June.  I sent June the Photo and she immediately recognizes her mother and grandma, plus a few of her aunts and uncles.  With my research, we fill in the missing names.  The significance of this is that I am now working in the present time with Reese family descendants.
     June was wondering if she had any living relatives.  I try to help.  I find her older half-sister's obituary to answer that question.  The next day, I locate her late uncle's living 92 year old widow.  I give June the phone number and address.  June calls her and they have a nice conversation.  It was a nice feeling of success to reconnect the two ladies.  I try to find another cousin of hers.  I feel sure she is still alive, but I strike out, unable to find her.
    The Reese Bible never had any information on William Henry Reese or his descendants, so I don't think they were ever in possession of the book.  That part of the mystery remains unresolved.
