In the 1900 Davenport Democrat, there is a listing for Mr. and Mrs. D.K. Smith for an adoption March 20, page 5. I know it's not "O.K." but it easily could have been a mistake. No other names in 1900. In 1902, there is a J.E. Krouse on a guardianship September 6, page 7. There's an Olin Smith who died..obit on September 30, page 7. (Didn't know what the O.K. stood for...) There is also an obit for Eda Vollstedt on August 11, page 6. No other names in 1902. In the 1931 city directory is John E and Theresa Krouse. He was the president of the Davenport Pearl Button Company and they resided at 4312 Brady Street. In 1931, I'm guessing that house must have been way out. Also in 1931 there is an Olin K. Smith, an engineer, and wife Edna F. at 1704 Davenport Ave. There are a few Vollmers in 1931: Charles K., Fred D., Jacob, Karl, and another Karl. The two Karls were doctors. If you want deatils on any of those, let me know. In a message dated 7/2/04 11:16:32 PM Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Thank you for your offer. Do you find Therese Steffen Krouse, John Edwin Krouse, any Vollstedts or O.K. Smith. They would not be in the yearbook. Appreciate your trouble, hope that is not too many.
