That's what happens when you get distracted, I guess. Anyway, I did want to thank you for the information you provided. It looks like you have gotten the right family, since the 1930 census info is absolutely correct. At least that information leads me in the right direction. Louis' last residence was Waterloo, IA, so obituary information for him and his wife should have been in the Waterloo Courier. It may not be in the online records. All the sons except Stanley and Andrew resided last in Waterloo; those two would have been New Hampton, Chickasaw County, IA last residences. I may be able to get more info from the New Hampton library. My best guess on death dates for Louis and Josephine are that Louis died in the 1970's and Josephine would have been prior to 1967. I have just begun researching this line for my children. It is their paternal family line. Your help ! is much appreciated.
