Miss Elizabeth Masters provided the following information to me in 1986. She did not indicate when she had obtained the following information. At the top of the page she typed, "Information below copied from papers belonging to someone related to Clinton S. Woodwards by Mrs. Woodward, and who lived on a farm in Jessamine Co. She did not remember who the person was, but a friend by the name of Thelma had taken her there. These are the papers, photocopies of which were sent to me by Mrs. Rose, her daughter."
I* have added information within parentheses at the end of each paragraph to clarify the original information.
