Tuesday March 3, 1931 Observed Birthday
Mrs. Mary Wooldridge, a lifelong resident of the vicinity of Staunton passed her 83rd birthday celebration. She has been ill for the past 3 weeks and the event was not celebrated.
Mrs. Wooldridge was born in West Prairie, 4 miles west of Staunton, March 1, 1848 and was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sawyer.
Valentine Sawyer who donated the Tine-Sawyer Cemetery, one of the oldest landmarks in this part of the country, was her Grandfather.
With the exception of 3 years spent in Harvel, after her marriage to Harrison Wooldridge of West Prairie in 1868, she has always resided in this vicinity. After the death of her husband in 1924 she spends Winters in Staunton and the Summers at one of her houses located on a part of 200 acres which she still owns. At present time she has rooms with Mrs. Minnie Blase, who cares for her during her illness.
Mrs. Wooldridge recalls the changes in the City of Staunton since her girlhood.
The family traded at the store of the late Charles Fischer, father of the Fischer brothers of Staunton, and at the Hosea Snell store in early days. "We used to have to help the men folk shell corn around the fireplace of an evening, which they brough to Staunton to be made into meal at the mill, but we did not think our task hard at that time"
She has 3 sons: Alonzo Wooldridge of near Staunton, Hampton Wooldridge of Staunton, and John Wooldridge of Gillespie, ILL.
Mrs. William Best of Worden, Ill is a sister and Mrs. Sabra Sawyer, who celebrated her 83rd birthday on Feb 14th, was reared by Mrs. Wooldridge's parents and the two have always been like sisters, so nearly are they of the same age.
=== Note: Mary was married to Harrison Wooldridge, son of Larkin and Catherine Ellen Truitt Wooldridge. Harrison died 17 July 1924. xxxxxxxx If this is as it appears to be [that West Prairie is the same as Tine Sawyer], this has the co-ordinates and a map. http://graveyards.com/graveyards/IL/Macoupin Shown as Gillespie South but is not far from Bunker Hill. It appears that this area was known as "West Prairie" as many Sawyers are listed as being born in West Prairie in the early 1800s [1830s].
