In the 1880 census Susan Blosser 24-single was in DesMoines IA (a large Betts family-cousins of John-was there). She was a servant in a hotel kept by Able & Matilda Pearson...a boarder in that hotel was John Betts 36---likely the man she marrired. A Pension file reference was made to Tama IA which leads me to wonder if Susie was possibly the SarahA found in census with Isaac & Mary Blosser (5 in 1860-15 in 1870); mine was 24 in 1880; but per 1900 Susan "Betz" was born Oct 1861(IA). John died in 1906 -- I did not find a death for her. DO YOU have further information about your Sarah...with what I have provided, could she also be my Susan? Thank you for any help you can provide.
