Clark Wilbur and Eleanor McElhaney are my g-g-grandparents through their daughter Susannah, born March 7, 1850.William M and Thomas were both her older brothers.
Susannah (Susie) married Joseph A. Hollister who was a veteran of the Civil War.He died Dec 17, 1919 and Susannah had to apply for widow's pension.They required proof of marriage and continued marital life.William's widow, Laura A. Wilbur of Alameda CA, signed a statement before a Notary Public vouching for her life with Joseph A. Hollister.Laura states that she is the widow of the late William M Wilbur, brother to Susie (Wilbur) Hollister. The letter is dated March 18, 1919.
