Sylvia, I don't know if any of this will help or not.I am also "stuck", but here is what I have found. I found a Certificate of Marriage dated 26 Sept 1900.Laura Louise Dodgeand William Albert Paul were married in Washington, D.C.Sadly, William died on 26 July 1927.Laura Louise Dodge Paul was born 9 Jan 1870, but the Certificate of Birth was not verified until 1928.Laura was born in North Brookfield, MA.Her parents were Laura Pentz and Asaph Dodge. Asaph was a Shoemaker born in Searsport, Maine, while Laura Pentz Dodge was born in Baltimore, MD.I have a note from the War Department in Washington dated 1908 that lists the cemetery plots for Asaph and Laura Pentz Dodge. My frustration is that I have these documents that should be returned to the Paul or Dodge families, but I'm having a hard time going forward in time.I think that Laura Dodge Paul was living in Washington, D.C. in 1930 and running a boarding house.At some point, I know that a Mrs. Jeffords is involved in all of this and she lived in DC also.Hope this helps.If we find we can share information, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
