Life

Donna Evelyn Bolyard was born in Preston County, West Virginia, on 27 September 1889; the West Virginia birth index records her as Dora Evelyn Bolyard.1 In 1910, as Dona E. Bolyard, she married Harry O. Welsh in West Virginia.2 The federal census of 1930 lists Donna E. Welsh in the household of Harry C. Welsh, as the index reads his initial, at Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio.3

The FamilySearch tree records her marriage to James Pleasant Webb, a widower of Birmingham, Alabama, on 8 October 1942 in Duval County, Florida, but no record of that marriage is attached to her profile or to his.4 Inference No record found so far calls her Webb, and she was recorded at her death under her first married name, Welsh; if the 1942 marriage took place, it probably did not last, and the tree records James Pleasant Webb's marriage to Grace Beatty Day in 1951.5

Donna Evelyn Welsh died at St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida, on 15 July 1985 and was buried at Woodlawn Memory Gardens in St. Petersburg, where Find a Grave indexes her memorial as Donna Evelyn Bolyard Welsh.6
