Inez, Hi and thank you for checking on that info. I'll have to find out if the grave marker on Mrs. J. Tipton has any dates to be sure. I know they were there in 1880 as I found them on the census record. James also wrote a biography for one of the newspaper back then which the historical society has. another researcher cousin was able to obtain a copy of it. I have yet to get one. I am pretty sure James and Louisa did not leave Iowa. At the time he went there from MO he went with his brother, Alfred. Alfred returned to MO but family history states that he came only with his children. Alfred's wife died in childbirth with the infant and the two of them are buried somewhere there. I am basically hoping to find descedants of James and Louisa's children who might be researching this line. James and Louisa Tipton's children are: John Q. Mary A. Cordelia James M. Charles Alfred Thanks again.
