Does anyone know anything about a Carilla Smith of Harrison Co., IA? She was b. abt 1876 in Iowa to Amenzo/ Menzo Smith and Angeline 'Annie' Bolter. I have not been able to locate her after 1895. At that point, she was still single and living w/ her parents. Does anyone know, was there some type of illness that swept through the Harrison Co. area in the late 1890's? Carilla's step-grandmother Celia Hatfield- Bolter also seems to have disappeared after the 1895 IA census. Any help would be appreciated! Cec Barton-Murrah

While researching one of my Harrison Co. lines I discovered that a branch of one of my side lines moved to Glendale, CA. I also notice that the obit that was posted today was of a former Harrison Co. resident that moved to Glendale, CA at some point in her life. Does anyone know what the draw may have been? Was there a group of folks that went to Glendale for a reason? Just wondering. Cec Barton-Murrah FYI...

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Grace NORRIS which was taken at the Ward Studio in Logan, Iowa. The note on the back of the photograph states that she is "Aunt Janes girl". The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Grace likely only about 1 year old at the time. I'm hoping to locate someone from this NORRIS Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
