She is Mary Susan Berry. There is not an Ellen! Female White Widowed Born: Feb'y 1822 Livingston County KY Died: June 6, 1910 Koshkonong, Oregon Co. MO ~~~~~ http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/moser/oregonpl.html Koshkonong A small town in Big Apple Township on the Frisco R. R. It was established in 1882 by real estate men, one of whom was Colonel Dobizie, who served on the northern side in the Civil War. The name was suggested by Mr. Diggings, a R. R. superintendent, for Lake Koshkonong in southern Wisconsin, where he enjoyed duck hunting. A creek and town in Rock County, Wisconsin, also bear the name. Koshkonong is an Indian word of doubtful meaning. Possibly, according to Gannett, referring to Koshkosh, a hog. Others have suggested such meanings as "Wild Rice," which grew around the Wisconsin Lake, or "Cross" referring to an Indian village where old trails crossed, or "big water," referring to the lake. It is probably connected with the name Kaskaskia, explained by Gannett as an Indian word of unknown meaning, the designation of a tribe of Illinois Indians. Of course the original signification of the name of the Wisconsin lake has no necessary connection with that of the Missouri village, which merely borrowed it. (--Place Names.) It is located at Section 5, Township 22 N, Range 6 W, on Highways 63 & F, northwest of Thayer. ~~~~~ It gets a bit strange. N. C. Berry is her doctor and signs the cause of death.
