I have info that she died in Cherryvale October 11, 1888, but I would like to confirm that and also find out where she is buried. She was living with her daughter, Elizabeth Edmonds Bash, at the time. I was also wondering if there were any other Bashs or Edmonds in the area, because at that time, Elizabeth was a widow from Indiana and in 1893 remarried in central Iowa. I am not familiar with Kansas records...was there a state census that could point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for any assistance!
