Dwelling on McGraws RunWESTFALL, Newt, head, age 50
________, ELLA F., wife, age 28
________, Beatrice, stepdaughter, age 17, b: PA
________, Virginia, daughter, age 5NOTES: [LeAnn McRoberts, June 2004]
Confirmation of Ella's marriage to Nute/Newt Westfall. Born in 1893, Ella would've been 27 in 1920. It is unlikely that Beatrice is Ella's daughter. She is obviously Newt's daughter from a previous marriage and therefore Ella's stepdaughter.
I have found an SSDI for a Virginia Ripple, who d. March 1981 with death localties in Wheeling & Elm Grove, Ohio Co., West Virginia. I believe she could be my Dad's cousin Virginia who was married to Harry Ripple. This SSDI recorded her year of birth as 1915. As Virginia Westfall was 5 years old in the 1920 census, it seems possible they are one and the same.
I've sent for Virgnia Ripple's death certificate hoping that it will confirm her parents to be Ella Bradford Westfall and Nute/Newt Westfall.
FURTHER NOTE: [LeAnn McRoberts, June 2004]
I have received the death certificate for Virginia Ripple which confirms she was the daughter of "Ella Westfall." Though her father is listed as "unknown", there is no doubt in my mind at this time, that Virginia Ripple was Ella's daughter, my Gramma's niece, and my Dad's 1st cousin.
===============RESIDENCES:
Address book of (Ida) May Malson (date unknown) has address for Ella Westfall of 330 N. Main Street, Wheeling, WV. It seems likely from the other addresses that this may have been in the 1950's.
1957
From a letter written by my grandmother, Martha Adeline Bradford Simms Roberts (Ella's sister) to May Malson (William Alvia Malson's wife) 17 Dec 1957, Ella and her family were in California with her daughter and that she also had a grand-daughter. No names were mentioned:
1958
Another letter written by my grandmother to May Malson 12 Dec 1958, further states that Ella and her family are in Burbank, California.
[Address book and letters given to me, LeAnn McRoberts, Mar 2004, by Harriet Jane Malson, wife of John Rodger Malson.]
===============MARRIED NAME-KINSHIP ASSUMPTION-SPECULATION: [LeAnn McRoberts, Mar 2004]
Family Group Record of John Rodger Malson (given to me by 2nd wife, Harriet) lists Ella Bradford's spouse as "Nute Westfall."
Ella's niece, Bernile Patricia Alice Bradford, daughter of Charles Howard Bradford, sent Nancy Bradford (daughter of Clark Bradford) a photo thought to be of "Beatrice and Virginia Westfall" (Virginia was a baby) and another photo of 3 women with Susannah Malson Bradford. Bernile's note indicated she thought 2 of the women were "Ellen" and Virginia and a third might be "Addie", my grandmother, which however, is not.
I now believe it highly probable that the older woman in the photo with Susannah was indeed Ella Bradford Westfall, and the 2 younger women her daughters (there is a resemblance).
The youngest of these women looks very much like the woman my mother identified as my Dad's (Frederick Winfred Roberts) cousin, Virginia, in 1978, and of whom I have a photo of from their visit to my grandmother's grave at Stone Church Cemetery in Elm Grove, WV.
The woman identified in the old photo as Beatrice Westfall with baby Virginia looks like a much younger version of another of my Dad's cousins, Beatrice, whom I met as a child when we moved my grandmother from Grand Rapids, MI back to West Alexander, PA. This Beatrice is the same cousin who was with my parents and Virginia in 1978.
SPECULATION: I am now wondering if Beatrice/Cousin Bea is the daughter of my grand-aunt Ella and named her daughter after a sister.
QUESTION: Whether or not Beatrice and/or Virginia are Ella's daughters or are related to Ella's husband, Nute Westfall.
CONFIRMATION: [LeAnn McRoberts, June & July 2004]
From the death certificate of Virginia Ripple, I have confirmed that she was the daughter of Ella Bradford Westfall.
===============CHILDREN-GRANDCHILDREN: [LeAnn McRoberts, July 2004]
Given the above-referenced information that Ella and her family came to California, and more specifically Burbank, California, I am going to check into the possibility they may still be here.
GRANDDAUGHTER: [LeAnn McRoberts, July 2004]
From an obituary for Virginia Ripple (which had been in my mother's possession), she was survived by a daughter, FRANCES GRIFFITH of Sylmar, California. Frances is Ella's granddaughter.
They had the following children:
F i BEATRICE WESTFALL 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was born on 12 May 1903 in possibly PA. She died about Mar 1986 in West Alexander, Washington Co., PA. She was related to her parents by guardianship.

KINSHIP: [LeAnn McRoberts, June 2004]
Evidence suggests that Beatrice Westfall was Nute/Newt Westfall's daughter from a previous marriage, and therefore, the step-daughter of Ella Bradford Westfall and half-sister of Virginia Westfall.
My Dad, Frederick Winfred Roberts, always referred to Beatrice as Cousin Bea. I met her once when I was a child and once when I was a teenager. The last time Dad saw Bea was in 1978. [See the photographs on the We Are Family website on the Cousins Photo Album page.]
===================
NOTE: [LeAnn McRoberts, July 2004]
Obituary for Virginia Ripple states she was survived by a sister, Beatrice Minor. Seeing this name Minor, stirred a vague memory of my Dad mentioning this name.
==================
SPOUSE-CHILDREN: [LeAnn McRoberts, Nov 2004]
Based on the 1930 census, Beatrice married Frank Minor. Their children were Frank Jr., and Mabel.
I met Cousin Bea when I was a child and vaguely remember her married name was Minor. My Dad & I stayed with her when we moved my Gramma to West Alexander, PA. I remember children in her house which were probably Cousin Bea's grandchildren. I also remember the name Mabel but don't remember if I met her.F ii VIRGINIA OPAL WESTFALL was born on 17 Mar 1914. She died on 6 Mar 1981.
