    2. Seek info on Cosmos POORMAN,born Oct. 14,1850,Palmyra, Pa .Married Emma STUCKEY. Emma was killed from a fall from a hay rake while pregnant with their third child on Nov. 8,1878 at age 24. In Jan. 1884 Cosmos left his two sons ,John Cosmos and William Stuckey with his parents, John and Leah POORMAN of Palmyra, Pa and headed West for the gold rush making stops in Kansas; California: Fulton, Missouri where he visited friends of his family (the Shifflers) and was headed for Alaska. Family lost contact with Cosmos and after the death of Cosmos's parents in April 1902 , a notice was placed in the local paper for any one with info on Cosmos Poorman to step forward .Unanswered, Cosmos was declared dead in 1903 by the Lebanon County Court to settle the estate of his parents for his two grown sons. What happened to Cosmos? When and where did he die? A search of Alaska came up empty. Any help greatly appreciated.Thanks!Bev
