I have a copy of her obituary. Let me know if you want the obituary. I can copy it or scan it. Jesse Patterson and Nell married in Oct 1929. My great grandfather, Jesse, died 10 Oct 1935 and was buried 13 Oct 1935 in Lot 392 at Mt Hope Cemetery in Maquoketa, . Nellie died 8 Jul 1940, buried in lot 1243 at Mt Hope Cemetery. Nell's siblings were Carrie, Mary, William and Alonzo Wilson. I have some cemetery records for Mt Hope and found this info: Alonzo died 27 Nov 1939, burial in lot 1243. No birth year listed. Carrie M Wilson (this might be her if she did not marry or married another Wilson, but I can't be positive) Born 8 May 1872 died 27 Aug 1956, Lot 295, Crypt 3 E. There is no Mary Wilson so she probably married and I don't know what her married name. There is a William S Wilson, born 23 Jan 1868, died 27 Nov 1940, burial in lot 1112. Do you know if James Wilson is related to Volney Wilson? In the Mt Hope Cemetery records, there is James Wilson buried in Lot 1243. Lacy Wilson, died 15 Jan 1931 and is buried in the same lot at Mt Hope Cemetery. (In the WPS Grave Registration for Jackson County it lists Lacy as "1850-1931". But no other info. There is one James Wilson listed "1843-1921" Could this be your James?) Grandpa Jess was a tall, thin man with grey hair. Probably about 6'. I have pictures. Let me know what else you might be looking for and I will see if I have it in any of the records I copied at the Jackson Historical Society the last time I was there. I have a few other cemetery records for Jackson Co Hope to hear back. Carol.
