Peggie, Joseph died 27 July 1883. The obituary I was sent didn't list any siblings.I know nothing about his family which is one of my major frustrations. The LDS website listed Joseph's wife and children. Another person whom has posted to the World Connect site belives Joseph's father is named Peter, but it is just speculation as the moment. His son, also named Joseph, came to Pottawattamie County, Iowa after the Civil War. Thank you for the census lookups.
