looking for other researchers and genealogy of Walter RUSSELL b. Feb 1821 and wife Susanna A. DeHaven, b 1837 Penn, who were early farmers in Palo Alto and noted to be associated with Baxter and Independence townships in Jasper Co. c. 1870 and 1880 onward until Walter's death in Feb 1901.
I am following one of their daughter's named Sarah Adella Russell, may 1867, at 20 she first married a JH Byers (lasted less than 3 years) then married an Elwood WEEMS in 1890, that marriage produced three children, one child was named Holda Weems, b. 1894, d. 1895-1900, died at young age, but date of death and burial not yet found.
This marriage lasted at least 10 years as she was still married in 1900 Fed cens.
By 1905 IA state Cen she is listed as divorced and her occupation as a "Photographer". Next I find her in 1910 cem where she has moved to Dismal Precinct of Thomas Co, NE with her children, and her family says she died young of Cancer, but can't find her date of death, place of death or burial. Any help would be greatly appreciated. .... thank you!
