Living nearby is Doris' father, Thomas DILL. In 1937 Thomas DILL died in Bourbon Co. KS; in his obit it mentions "one sister Catherine Potter of Kansas City". (As this was a KS paper I realize they could have been referring to KC, KS but it also says Thomas "formerly lived in Kansas City" and his daughter was "Doris Gibson of Kansas City" so I'm sticking with MO.) I have been unable to find Catherine DILL POTTER or determine whether or not Walter was her son. Perhaps I'm missing something someone else will spot - I'm hoping so! I believe Thomas DILL had two sisters - Catherine and Lizzie/Elizabeth - who would have been born between 1861-66 (other sibs were b. in Linn Co., MO; parents Elizabeth & Geo W. divorced in 1866~8 and lost me). Thomas d. at the home of his nephew, Walter MILLER, whose mother was apparently Lizzie DILL MILLER. I can't establish details of Lizzie's birth so if I can sort out Catherine DILL POTTER and/or Walter POTTER it would be hugely helpful. If someone has access to the KC Directories would they please look for Catherine and Walter? Other ideas, please? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
