    3. Myers/Duncan marriage.-- with thanks to both Paul and to Pam Groover (sorry I mispelled your name) And Yes-- I would love to have whatever info there is on that marriage. If she married Duncan then it would solve a family mystery concerning our Voss graves. F.W. Voss, b. 1830- Preussen, d. 1886 Caseyville. lst wife, Ferdinandina (nee Menn) Voss, b. 1831 Westphalia, d. Nov. 24, 1871 Caseyville. FW and Caroline Meyer had 1 daughter, Lila Caroline Matilda Voss, b. March 6, 1874, died June 23, 1878. All except Caroline are buried at Ark Royale IOOF Cemetery in Caseyville. In FW's 1886 will he left a house to Caroline for the rest of her life, which was torevert to his youngest daughter when Caroline died. Other items also went to Caroline outright. Caroline''s will was written July 1898 and probated Oct. 3, the same year. She did will the house back to FW's youngest daughter, Deanie, who by then had married a Collins. But why wasn't she buried with the other Vosses? Perhaps because she had married a Duncan. I'm sure she was younger than FW. But have no death record, other than the will. Deanie Collins died in 1901, and we've no trace of the husband or 2 daughters who survived her. Have 60, 70- and 80 Ky. census info for FW and family. But Caroline was not listed in the 1880 census with him. Just he and son, John Henry, and daughter, Deanie. The oldest daughter ( my grandmother) by then was living in Caseyville with her husband, Nick Leibenguth, and their oldest daughter, Alida. We rooters learn slowly, but we persist. Thanks again for your efforts. Mary Wallace.
