We now have a more correct record of Jane Denham's children, including three of whom we had never known their names, but so fitting within the family: Alice, Reuben and Henry. Penny, can you believe your name (Penny Alice) comes from at least 150 years ago, neither of which I was aware at the time we named you? I just couldn't wait to share this exciting news!!!

Later I also sent a good quality photo of Jane's marker. Now that you have decided that the pictures I have that are marked H. S. and Hugh Denham are legitimate, perhaps the following from notes in Eva Dennis Alvord's bible are of interest and should lay to rest the question of Iowa's parentage. On a page headed "E. F. Dennis mothers History." Mothers name Jane Penelope Denham married a man by name of Little to which 2 girls were born Iowa being the second child's name first child's name unknown. Little died before Aunt Iowa was born. Grandma lived with her father than and helped in tailor shop until she met and married Pat Dennis. To this union 9 children were born Alice, Ruben & Henry died in infancy. Others Hesikiah Stout, Sidney Riley, Katherine Winni, Obbet Emmett, Edward Frank, Maggie May. They moved to Bassett Nebr. in 1884 or 85 Jane had a brother whose name was Hush S. Denham who was a (here the word bank has been crossed out and the word grain written above it) teller. used to live in Minden Nebr. at one time had a daughter who lived in Omaha, Neb. and her husband was a depot agent. The spelling and grammar are exactly as originally written. The infant on the 1850 mortality schedule b. Apr d. May obviously was not Jane's. Iowa's DC while having her name incorrect and year of birth incorrect gives month as Sept. which is probably fairly accurate, given that David died in May. The Ellen G. age l yr. in the 1850 census is the "unknown name" in Aunt Eva's notes. It's safe to say she died somewhere between the 1850 and 1860 census years. We knew that Jane had 11 children, with only 7 surviving infancy, but this is first indication we had of names. Any names you give to Iowa's children in your records should be taken from her obituary, and not from the ANNA Kleckner family. Eva would have been around 20 years old when Iowa died so she certainly had some first hand contact. At any rate, this lays to rest all the speculation about Iowa. She was indeed the daughter of David Little and Jane Denham.

It was not a "5c convenience store copy", but was photo quality actually better than the original it was taken from. I think I sent you one of Patrick at the same time, which was the same as the one in the Centennial History. Later I also sent a good quality photo of Jane's marker.
