He d. 24 Mar 1863 in Paducah, KY (from sickness in the Civil War). She (2) m. 1 Nov 1863 in Poweshiek Co., IA James BOOZE. They had one child, Florence and divorced. She d. 4 Apr 1892 in Poweshiek Co. and a quite lenghty obit was published but did not mention parents. Several years ago a researcher gave her parents as Joseph and Lavina APPLEGATE. He d. 1880's in Poweshiek Co., but documentary evidence disproves them quite easily. I think it was assumed he was her father as he was the only elder APPLEGATE in that area at the time. I have not been able to find any APPLEGATE links in IA, IN or IL, so in looking at the 1830 census for Mason Co., KY I find the families of Benjamin and Mary(likely widowed) both wth 2 females under 5. I have no proof that Clar! inda's family was stiil in Mason Co. or not in 1830. Her obit does NOT mention siblings either. Many have seemed to have accepted the parents mentioned earlier, although wrong.
