Her name was Mary Eveline Tripp. All I have on her is that she was Born in July 1870, Bordley, Union County, KY. She married William J Snelson, Aril 15,1888 in Mahaska County, Iowa. They had 3 children, Rosa, Leslie, and Bertha. Mary Eveline and William J. were separated or divorced. All we know is that she left and my grandmother Rosa always said she was closer to and would visit Bertha. I am in great hopes that someone searching the DeSart line will know about her. I can not find her on any census in Iowa. It has been RUMORED that she went to Colorado, but we all know how rumors are. Here is a report on what I have for Bertha. Please e mail me with any information that you would have on her. I thank you very very much.
