That's about all I have determined about her for now. I have some old newspaper clippings to review and notes to look at (just recently rec'd these) to see if there are any additional details to add. I appreciated your emailing me the scanned images from your family tree file arlier in the year. Although they were a little fuzzy, I plan to use them as I progress in connecting the dots in Davis Co, IA. I shared them with Dad as well. Thanks again.
