!NOTE: Hiram and Mary Ella Kellum had another daughter named Luvenia Blanche sometime between 1899 and 1903. She married Joe Cecil Knight in 1923. They had four children (two boys and two girls) Howard, Marjorie, Mildred/Jenny, and Louis. (Louis has told us that he was actually adopted, but we can't find any documentation to support this fact.) Anyway, Howard married Juanita Dodson around 1945, early in the year we believe in Hunt, Co., TX. They had five children: Edna Mae; Howard Cecil, Jr.; Helen Ruth; Curtis Richard (died as an infant); abd Billy Wayne. Edna had two children with a man named Jack Bailey. Their names are Lloyd Cecil Bailey and Helen Marie Bailey Wilkie Hackworth Wilkie (she was adopted, got married, divorced, and took her adopted name again). Helen Married Charles Hackworth III and had three children: Stacy Denice (still born), Kristopher James (now 16), and Kristin Ja'net (now 14). This is the step- daughter that we are trying to find any geneology information for. I hope that this helps you in your search. Just for your info: Hiram, a son by the name of "Sid", Howard, Sr., and Luvenia are buried at Laurel Land Cemetary in Dallas, TX. Joe and Mildred are buried in the cemetary in Malakoff, TX. If you would be interested in a photocopy of Hiram's death certificate, I can get that to you if you let me know how to get it to you. If you have access to a fax machine, send me the number and I'll fax you a copy of the death certificate. We also have the death certificates for Luvenia and Joe, if they would be of any help. We would be very grateful and interested in any further information that you may have on any of Hiram's or Mary Ella's ancestors. We only know that Hiram's father's name was John Kellum from KY, and his mother was Adeline Newton from TN. We don't have any other information than that. It seems that the family was in farming for several generations, and we believe that some births were either not recorded or we aren't looking in the right place. Thanks again for your assistance, you can not imagine what this will mean to Kristin and Helen. Thanks. James. From: http://genforum.genealogy.com/kellum/messages/492.html
