Brief biography

Fred Raymond Woodhurst was born around 1897-98 in Missouri to parents Robert Cook Woodhurst and his wife Ann Eliza Jane Slaughter. A relative reports that Fred was born at Florida in Monroe County, Missouri. An IGI record [IGI: Batch 8821801] gives his birthdate as January 18th 1898.

The US 1900 Census finds him living with his parents in Salt River township, Ralls County in Missouri and gives his age as 3 and his birthdate as January 1897. It seems unlikely that a mistaken age or birthyear would be cited by the parents of a child so young, and so the 1897 date appears, on current evidence, to be the more reliable.

The US 1910 Census finds him at age "13" with his parents in the household of his grandfather Hazard (1) in Salt River township.

He married Lora Susan Cox on December 4th 1922 at Bandon, Coos County in Oregon [IGI: Batch 8821801].

Relatives report the following. Lora Susan was born at Langlois in Curry County, Oregon on October 14th 1904 to parents Robert Lee Cox and his wife Evaline L. (nee) Anderson. She died at Eugene in Lane County, Oregon on March 6th 1952 and was buried there on March 8th. Prior to marrying, Fred had served in the Air Force in WW1. After Lora Susan died, he remarried to a woman with forenames Leona G. by whom he had no children. He died in a logging accident at Toledo in Lincoln County, Oregon on November 13th 1956 and was buried at Eugene on November 16th.

The American Social Security Death Index records that Leona was born on September 23rd 1905 and died on May 31st 1997. Her SSN was 542-22-7616 and she had last resided in Portland, Multnomah in Oregon.
