On This Day in Family History - September 30

 Charles McMillan Ford married Elizabeth Renew Manley 30 September 1877

I don't have a picture of her. According to my dad's family history records, she was called Renew (pronounced "Ra-noo"), and she was an artist. Charles and Renew had no children, as far as I know. She died in 1892. Charles married Effie Harvey Conklin in 1893.

Otho Horace was Effie's son from her first marriage to Milton Conklin; Charles adopted him. Cleo was the only natural child of Charles and Effie. Otho Simeon was the son of Otho Horace and his first wife Edith Stuller. He was raised by his grandparents Charles and Effie.
