Check death records in Vernon Co WI for William B. Slade's record (he last appears on 1880, his wife Mary appears to have died 1876). Microfilm in library might hold old papers for obits (Vernon Co WI rootsweb is giving me a lockout right now so I can't see what resources might be available for you to check and where in that county) Adella appears to have had a twin brother, Adelbert "Harry" Slade, also brothers Clement and Warren. A search for the Marshall's death records in Lincoln Co WI and a look for obits might be helpful on moving back on the Marshall part. Do you know the names of the Marshall siblings who went West 'never to be heard from again'? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
