Family of Frank Warren WOODMAN and Mary Hannah ROBBINS
Frank Warren WOODMAN b. 1876 Aug 18221 at Searsport, ME4009. d. 1933 Mar 85944 at Boston, MA5944. bd. Mt Wollaston Cem., Quincy, MA5944.
Mary Hannah ROBBINS b. 1889~2814 at Newfoundland, Canada776.
Married2813 1932~2813.
The death documents2813 regarding the death and disposition of the estate of Warren B Woodman, Frank's father, mention the adminitratrix of Frank's estate (1934) as Mary H Woodman. In 1940, Mary H Woodman, at the same address mentioned in the Warren Woodman documents, has her son Harold Mills living with her. Perhaps not coincidentally, Harold was living with Frank as a lodger in the 1930 census. Harold Mills birth record1767 lists his parents' names, including his mother's maiden name: Alexander Mills and Mary H Robbins.
Frank's middle name is listed on his WWI draft registration card and in the documents2813 regarding his father's death. At the time of his marriage to Blanche Ford, Frank was a conductor. In 1900, Frank was a provisions dealer. In 1910, he was an engine salesman. His 1918 WWI draft registration221 card lists his nearest relative as H H Felker, Searsport, ME. That was likely his uncle Herbert H Felker, who lived in Searsport in 1910 and 1920. In 1930, at age 53, he was widowed and a road salesman (traveling salesman?). His address at that time was 30 Beebe Road, Chelsea, MA, and Harold Wills, age 16, was boarding in his household. As it turns out, Frank would, sometime between that date (Apr, 1930), marry Harold's mother. One of the documents2813 concerning the disposition of his father's estate is a letter, dated Sep 7, 1934, from the American Consulate in Buenos Aires to the Secretary of State in Washington. That letter mentions the appointment of Mrs Mary H Woodman as administratrix of the estate of her deceased husband, Frank W Woodman. Another letter, same date, from the Vice Consul in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Mrs Mary H Woodman, 30 Beebe Road, Quincy, MA, informing her regarding remittances from Frank's father's estate.
Mary's full name is listed in the marriage record for Mary and Alexander Wills. Mary married first Nov 23, 1910, in Cambridge, Alexander Hills, the son of Samuel Wills and Amelia Ford. In Dec 1913, Mary and Alexander had a son1767 Harold Edward Wills, who was the key to determining Frank Woodman's second wife. In 1930, Mary, a maid for a private family (probably Suel and Grace Lawrence), is listed as married, but, as Alexander doesn't seem to otherwise by found, and Harold Wills is boarding with Frank W Woodman, Alexander may have died by that time. In any case, in 1940, following Frank's death, Mrs Mary H Woodman, with son Harold Wills, is living at 30 Beebe in Quincy, MA. Following Mary's marriage to Frank, and following his death, she continued to live at 30 Beebe in Germantown (Quincy), MA, until at least 1945. She is listed in the city directories as the widow of Frank W Woodman. Harold Wills died (per the SSDI) Aug 18, 1995, Stoughton, MA.
