One of the valuable extra questions in that census is the names of the parents, including maiden name, of the individual's parents. Lela married Everette Beanblossom and they are in the 1925 census in Washington Co. Lela gives her parents names as Lewis Smith and Rhoda Brown. I can send the census image if you like.

I see him listed as a widower as early as in the 1900 census. And he is still a widow in the 1925 special Iowa census. So he married Rhodia between 1925 and 1930. Are you just trying to track Louis Smith's children from his first marriage or are you also interested in Rhodia Brown?

In order to be in compliance with UsGenWeb, we are required to have lookup volunteers for the Washington County IaGenWeb site. While our assistant coordinator, Janet Evans does do lookups for obituaries and takes cemetery photos when possible, we still need names to list on the website as willing to do lookups either in books that they own or who live in Washington County that can go to the library to do lookups. While I know we have members of the Washington County that do respond to this list, or to the Message Boards, it would be nice if I could list them on the lookup pages. If you are willing to do lookups, please let me know. If you are already doing it, I would like to give you credit. E-mail addresses that I had in the past have stopped working over the years and it needs to be updated. Thank you to all those that do help to make the data possible on the following sites that I maintain. http://www.rootsweb.com/~iawashin http://iagenweb.org/civilwar http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jennings New photos have been added recently of old places in Washington County.
