In the 1900 census for Holt Co., Atkinson Twp., Nebraska, there is a George Westfall and wife "Mertel." Her name is very difficult to read in this census, both both of them indicate they were born in Iowa. He was born Feb 1876, age 24, and she was born Sep 1880, age 19. In the 1880 census for Lucas Co., IA, there is a George Westfall, son of Granville Westfall, but the age doesn't quite match. I wonder if this young woman, wife of George of Nebraska, died about 1905? I don't find them in the 1910 census. mk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Geis" <acg13666@yahoo.com> To: <IOWA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 10:46 PM Subject: [IOWA] WESTFALLS IN LUCAS COUNTY IOWA?? I just recently read an entry in a newspaper article: The Clariton Leader, Clariton, Iowa Thursday, October 12, 1905 "The sad intelligence came Tuesday to the relatives and friends of MRS GEORGE WESTFALL of Nebraska of her serious illness. Slight hopes are held for her recovery." I am researching George Westfall and am wondering if anyone might know: 1) who are the relatives of MRS GEORGE WESTFALL that were living in Clariton 2) more about the MRS GEORGE WESTFALL in Nebraska Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
