William Lewis Race
William Lewis Race
I have an old photograph of William Lewis RACE which was taken at a studio in Middletown, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with William likely about 1 year old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding William and his family:

William Lewis RACE was b. 25 Jul 1904 in Middletown, NY to parents William Clark RACE (1872-1921) and Rhoda or Rhonda Elizabeth GRAY (1873-1921). William was one of 5 children born to this couple including Austin Alonzo; William Lewis; Howard Gray; Preston Leonard; and Walter Clark RACE, all born between 1901 and 1912.

William died on 16 Dec 1956 in Monticello, NY and is buried in the Wallkill Cemetery in Phillipsburg, NY.

I’d like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
