Notes for Amelia Lucy Williams:
As stated in her Family Bible in her own words she married(1) Charles Raymond Pritten{AKA George Prudden} December 24,1866(2) On December 16,1886 in Shasta County, California, she married Edmond C. Drury. (3) On January 2,1889 in Redding, California she married Leander W. Chase. Amelia Williams was also a mid-wife during her life. Reference to this can be found in the "Covered Wagon" a magazine,1985 edition.Amelia brought her family to California by train on the overland route from Chester, Michigan. They settled in Hat Creek area of Shasta Co.,later moving to Red Bluff.Amelia delivered most of her neighbors children including Issac Prittens children Clarence, Grace and Lewis.Amelia was a very enterprising woman. She owned and operated The California Pine Box Distributors Company. Many of her children and Grandchildren ,nieces and nephews worked there as well.This Company was located in Corralitos, Ca.Interesting note;In the 1880 census she states she is a widow,but all my information says her husband Charles died much later.Evidentally she divorced him and later remarried.Also in the 1880 census she is found with her 3 children living in Chester,Eaton Michigan and claims to be a widow. We the Family know that she in fact divorced her husband and he died later. We have Family pictures of him. But My Grandfather Clarence L. Pritten also told me these details when I asked about it.
