Great idea! My brick wall is Kathryn Van Osdel Mackey, wife of John J. Mackey, who lived in Mills County Iowa as late as 1849. Kathryn, called Kate, died somewhere in Mills Co, Iowa; Missouri; or Nebraska, but I cannot find out where. Stories have been floating around that she died in childbirth, but this is not true as she was alive 3-5 years after the birth of her last child and included in the census of 1849. Yes, I have read the writeup in the new Mills Co history. Thank you, all. Sasha Stanley Greene Co OH
