After the civil war (aft 1869) her fam moved to Nebraska where her father proved a homestead. In 1878 they moved to Rock, Marshall co, Kansas. Her mother's obituary July 1896 says Mrs. Minnie CRISSMAN was then living in Missouri. Minnies father's obit in Oct 1901 mentions Mrs. CRISMAN of Green Ridge, Pettis co, Missouri. Minnie's brother, Leander BUTTON's obit March 1921 mentions his sister, Mrs. W. H. CRISSMAN living in Ordway, Colorado. Perhaps this CRISSMAN family lived in Green Ridge, Pettis county, Missouri for 10 or 20 years before they moved to Colorado. Please, can someone help me find some info about this CRISSMAN family.
