  • Notes 
    • In early 1925 while attempting to corral a gentle horse, daughter Marie was kicked in the head as the horse was attempting to jump over her trying to get back into the pasture, causing a fatal injury. Death certificate says she died in the car on the way to the doctor's office.

      The listing for Friendship cemetery does not include her name. Her death certificate says she was buried there, perhaps they never put a stone up. This cemetery also called Bachelor Cemetery. I have visited this cemetery (it's in very bad shape) and did not find her headstone.
