Hi, I'm brand new to genealogy. I met Joyce Post {my new 5th cousin] she sent me here, and said you nice folks would have a lot of good information for me. She found my grandfather Garfield Bowers in the 1920 census, Fayette Co., Saltlick Twp., District 81, Visit 13. He was 36 and widowed. Five children listed Mary 13, Lester 8 [MY FATHER] Beatrice 6, Edith 4, Howard 2. My question is, does anyone know where he went from there? I never met him, only heard he lived to be at least eighty. He was not on the 1930 census for that same twp. Thanks in advance for any information you might have. Nancy
