Hi Dee, Before you look for death records you have to follow your people up the census ladder to determine where they may have been living when they died. That will answer many of your other questions as well. In 1900 & 1910 James & family are in Warren twp, Keokuk co. In 1920, in the neighboring co. of Mahaska, 1st ward of Oskaloosa are James & family. Same place in 1930 finds the widow Ella Dawson. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
