I assume that Mary died before 1892 because Hiram had been married to Kate for 8 years where he's found in Lawrence County in the 1900 Census. Alice's husband, Henry William Bluebaum (1875-1946), was the son of John Henry (1845-1883) and Henrietta Powers (1849-after 1900) Bluebaum. John Henry married spelling his name as his father did -- Bloebaum-- Apparently his Civil War enlistment records were under the Bluebaum spelling. At some point after their marriage, the couple began using that Surname. My grandfather, William Edgar and Edith were two of Alice & Henry's children. I would certainly enjoy hearing from you!
