Brief biography

Elizabeth Catherine Woodhurst was born in 1919, probably in Abbeville, SC to parents Thomas Edgar Woodhurst and his wife Elizabeth Smith.

The US 1930 Census finds her at age 11 living with her parents in Abbeville township. The census record names her as "Elizabeth C."

A record in a Patterson Genealogy database names her as "Katherine Elizabeth" and asserts the following: she married James Wayne Ware, who was born on September 26th 1903; they produced the four children listed below; James Wayne died on December 5th 1978 in Newberry, SC and was buried at Little Mountain Presbyterian Cemetery in Abbeville.

The American Social Security Death Index records that she died on February 20th 1988 in Newberry, and gives her date of birth as February 6th 1919. Her SSN had been 249-05-2162. She is named there as Katherine W. Ware, the "W" presumably denoting Woodhurst.
