In March 1923 Rachel, aged 78 & resident of Clay Center, signed an affidavit regarding a Widows Pension Claim made by her sister-in-law, Persia Sizelove Black. The witnesses to Rachel's mark were Maud Smith and J.(Jacob?) W. Smith. If any of the above names are familiar to anyone, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you!!
