I have searched all of the state of TX and Yell County, AR. for her husband, Israel Mathias and can not find him. He is not living with anybody and is not listed on the census (I have the set of CD's from LDS for the whole USA Census for 1880). Do I have his death date recorded wrong. I have that he died 3 Nov. 1896 and his wife, Catherine Furr Harkey died 20 July 1892. Is this correct? If Israel Mathias was living in 1880 where is he?
