Keith, Pardon my delay, I don't think I ever thanked you for this last message full of information. There's some valuable things here for me. Thank you, Kathy ---------- From: Keith/Connie Street[SMTP:ckcasey@lisco.net] Sent: Saturday, March 14, 1998 2:41 AM To: Kathy Scott; 'IALOUISA-L@rootsweb.com' Subject: Re: Osborn Dear Kathy I'll add a little again, and answer some of your questions. Lydia Ann would not be listed if there were no gravestone with her name on it. Your John O/Q may have died in Webster County, Nebraska. There were several trains a day running out of Louisa County in 1899; his body could have been easily returned here. That was a common practice then. Clara Dodder has a grave marker in Grandview Cemetery. Dates are 1861-1935. There are no other Osborne, Gould or Quick listings in the cemetery book. There are four Gould females married in Louisa County prior to 1900 and no males. The women were:Eliza Ann Gould to Edward Colton on 4 March 1866 (Book C Page 88); Maria A. Gould to Ellis R. Duncan on 20 November 1873 (Book D Page 363); Nellie A. Gould to John H. Sellers on 20 August 1890 (Book G Page 267); Ella Amelia Gould to Charles Henry Hetrick on 29 November 1898 (Book I Page 9). An obituary for your Elijah Osborne is in the Wapello Tribune of Friday, February 1, 1901. The community area heading is Sand Mound, which is in the northern part of Louisa County. He had been born in Buttsville, Warren County, New Jersey, on November 8, 1832, and died aged 68 years 2 months and 18 days on January 26, 1901. He was unmarried and left one sister and a brother in New York; a sister in New Jersey; and a sister in Nebraska. Rev. Fouse of Columbus Junction conducted the services and burial was at Swank Cemetery. Swank Cemetery is over 20 miles from Grandview, and is located in Johnson County. Hope this helps.

I knew about what ages Sarah & Alice died, but not exact dates. Infant Lydia Ann should have been buried there, also. Is it possible she didn't have a stone therefore was not in the cemetery listing? The surprise was I thought John Q. died in Webster Co. NE. Clara Dodder should be buried in Grandview Cem ca 1935? Can you tell me if you see any other Osborn(e), Gould or Quick? John Q's brother, Elijah, a jewelry salesman, was supposed to be buried in Swank Cemetery at Grandview in 1901. Is Swank the same as Grandview Cemetery?
