Recently learned there were at least two Susan Dennis's living in the vicinity of Higbee, Mo in the early 1900's. The one I had mentioned earlier as living on the farm adjacent to my Grandparents was married to Alfred. Her maiden name may have been Magruder. Lou Myers

I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here, but I had pulled this obituary on my first time through the news. It just happened to have put in her notes file. At least one of the Susan's can be identified with some accuracy. From "the Higbee News" From "The Higbee News" 30 Jan 1947--MRS.
