Does anyone from the Tama area know of Mrs. Mary A. Mahoney, wife of James H. Mahoney, who was a veterinarian in Tama for more than 40 years? Mary died 3 May 1933. I have her obituary. Supposedly, she taught school on the Indian settlement. ----- Original Message ----- From: jan garber <maejan@cfu.net> To: <IOWA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 8:01 AM Subject: Re: [IOWA] Mesquakie Indian Settlement > Hi Judy, > Thanks for all your facts about the Mesquakie Indian settlement,most of which I > didn't know.
