Mary Ellen Whitehouse / Penner
Hello,
I just happened upon this site today quite by accident, but I have been searching for more information about my great-grandmother, Mary Ellen Whitehouse-Penner for some time now.
My uncle, Vernon Butler of Oklahoma City is a direct grandson of Mary Ellen Whitehouse.His mother, Zelda Penner Butler was Mary Ellen's daughter.Zelda was my grandmother.
I've noticed that several people are researching Mary Ellen's Native American roots.It is my understanding that she was indeed a full-blood Cherokee.I have seen many photographs of her in my grandmothers papers which would certainly lend credence to that fact by her looks alone.She had very striking Native features.Uncle Vernon says that her Indian name was known as 'Onega De'.
I would like very much to hear from anyone who is also searching for information.Perhaps we could compare notes.
Thanks so much.I can be reached at:[email protected]
