"Hattie" Vandercook. All three appear in the 1880 US Census as follows: 1880 US Census for West Omaha, Douglas Co., NE Family History Library Film: 1254748 NA Film Number: T9-0748 Page Number: 354A J. E.

Unfortunately, Mr. Close died about four months after the marriage. Julia then married James Forsyth VanDerCook 5 December, 1863 at Clyde, Sandusky Co., OH. Harriet, born circa 1865 in Nebraska, appears to have been their only child. I have solid information on James F. VanDerCook. He died 20 January, 1904 in Florence and lies buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Omaha. However, I have been unable to trace either Julia or Harriet. Did Julia take a third husband? Did Harriet ever marry? I have been a VanDerCook family researcher for well over 20 years and am trying to clear up a few details in this line. Based on what I have found so far, it seems likely that Julia was one of the first women physicians practicing in Nebraska.

Julia E. Vandercook is listed in the 1910 Census for Cass County, Nebraska, (Plattsmouth) in the Nebraska Masonic Home. Age is 70 and she is listed as having no children. She and James are listed in 1900 as having no children, also. Julia E. Vandercook is listed in the 1920 Census for Hillsborough County, Florida (Stemper 9-Pct) as 83 and widowed, born Ohio. Hope this helps you some!
