This Week On My Family History Calendar-Remembering Mimi

 

May 3~
   This day marks the 112th anniversary of the marriage of my paternal great-grandparents, John McSwain Hudson (1880-1961) and Louvinia Blanche (Thames) Hudson (1886-1918). John was 34 and Blanche 28 when they married in Manning, Clarendon, South Carolina.

   My paternal grandmother, Mary (Baker) Hudson (1920-2010), was born 106 years ago in Columbia, Richland, South Carolina. Mary was raised by her maternal grandparents and learned later in life that she was the biological daughter of Jubal Ransom Early (1888-1964) and Emma Ruth (Baker) Early (1901-1993). She never legally used the surname Early.  

Happy Birthday, Mimi! You are missed.
