I found a record on familysearch.org that says that Josephine died 17 May 1928 in Sheridan, Chautauqua, NY. However this record also lists her bithdate as 08 Oct 1860 in Port Byron, Cayuga, NY. The birth location is correct, but the date seems off to me based on the census. It was posted by an unnamed member, so I have no way of digging further on that. Oliver Wethey's father was Nelson Buck, who was later killed in the Nelson Buck Massacre in Nebraska. Mary and Fidelia returned to Cayuga County from Washington State shortly after the 1900 Census and lived in Auburn along with Eugene. I believe that Mary died sometime around 1902 when I found an article about her going insane on a train from Fredonia to Auburn. Eugene died in 1932 in Auburn and I have not been able to determine death dates for Jame, Fidelia or Josephine.
