Is there an obituary for Jane Summers? Where is she buried? Were she and David Summers married? Siblings? Relatives? Is Jane Summers her full name? I'm looking for Sarah Jane (Gilbert) CANNON. She was married to Felix B. CANNON in 1877. In 1897, they were divorced in Phillipsburg, Kansas. In the divorce settlement, Felix gave Sarah 80 acres in the NE area of Phillipsburg. She had a millinery shop in Belleville 1898/1899. Her mother passed away in 1900 (Osilla Duff Gilbert) in Pawnee, Sangamon County, Illinois. Sarah is the sister of Rachael Louella Gilbert Summer in Republic County. I recently learned from an ancestor of Felix B. Cannon's brother Finis R Cannon, that "Sarah J. and David Summer sold back SJ's divorce lands to Felix for $2000 in mid 1907. No mention of where SJ and David were living." Felix died in February 1907, so it would have been difficult to sell land back to him. Perhaps the land was sold back to his 3rd wife, Laura Tilney Cannon? Any leads from Republic County or Phillipsburg County? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
