World War I letters

Hello:
Saw your site about the Ormsby family. Several years ago I bought at an antique shop a collection of 16 letters written during WWI from the years 1917-1919 from Dr. Elmer H. Ormsby to his folks in South Glens Falls, NY.
I assume this is the same Elmer Ormsby listed at your site, although I haven't read the letters recently. I would like to find someone related to this family or with an interest in preserving their history. Surely these letters would be special to someone other than me. I bought them when my own son was serving in the US Military, upon his graduation from West Point. Thankfully, he never had to go to war. Maybe you would know of a family member who would like to have these letters.

No direct relationship. The Blackwoods are remotely connected to some of my (Don) ancestors. Hartley Blackwood was a cousin of Elmer's wife and appears to have been a friend of my grandfather's brother (John "Clarence" Ross). Clarence was killed at Vimy Ridge April 9, 1917. Hartley was killed February 25, 1917 also at Vimy Ridge. He is mentioned extensively in Clarence's diary. Don and Jeanne Ross

Elmer Harrison Ormsby was my uncle and I will try and locate his family - please keep in touch - Eleanor

E-mail from Eleanor Hall (eleanorhall@home.com), Dated: 14 Oct 2001

Dr. Ormsby's daughter was Francis Jean Ormsby - she died in 1998. Her husband was Clyde Gerald Dixon - he died in 1979.
Their children - Gary Blackwood Dixon - born June 15,1946
Paula Jean Dixon - born December 18, 1948
Deborah Elizabeth Dixon - born October 16,1954
I received an address before 1998 but not a phone number - Box 274 Mansfield Depot - Connecticut - USA -06251 - 0274.
I have now sent a letter in hopes that some of the children might still live there. I know that if I can find them they would treasure the letters! I will keep you posted. This is so exciting Eleanor

My grandfather was William Blackwood and I am working on the Blackwood family tree. I have Muriel Eloise and her husband Elmer Harrison Ormsby listed.

E-mail from Donald Poyner, (dpoyner99@home.com), dated Oct 15, 2001

I am not directly related to Elmer, but his wife, Muriel Eloise Blackwood, is my 2nd cousin twice removed. I would also like to get more info on this family. All I have is that Muriel Eloise Blackwood maried Elmer Harrison Ormsby, and that they had 2 female children. I can offer more info on the Blackwood family and their connections in Huntingdon County, Quebec and Glengarry County, Ontario.
