In the 1920 census, Isabella, a widow, age 70, is living in Highland Park, Wayne County, Michigan (Davison Avenue) and owned a boarding house. No children are listed with her at that time (although she did have children with her first husband, last name "Robinson"). I cannot find her in the 1930 census so it is possible she died between 1920 and 1930. My guess is that she may be buried in Wayne County, MI.

I have found her listed in various records as Belle, Bella, Isabelle, Isabel, Isabella...she didn't make it easy to track her down. I have found her marrying William Graham in 1897 but by 1900, she is listed as a widow. I first want to know what happened to William. She then married David Brown in 1905 and was listed as the informant on his death certificate in 1916, so I know she was alive then in the Kalamazoo area. I would love to know what happened to her after David's death. Is there anyone who could help me? Thanks in advance.
