Found Information on Henrietta Bence
Henrietta Bence/Fickes/?
She was born in Iowa 13 Nov 1869. She was born in Grundy Co., BlackHawk Twp. (1870 census) Michael listed as farmer.
By 1880 they were living in Belle Plaine, IA and Michael was working on railroad.
In 1897 she was living in Iowa City, IA.
By 1900 she was married. I could not find them on that census.
1910 (census) she was living in Lexington, Dawson Co., Nebraska. At first I did not think it was her because someone gives birthplace of both parents as Iowa. She is listed as married, however, she is the head of the house, age 40, working as a domestic.
Children in the home are: John, age 24, working on RR; Maude, age 20, working as a domestic; Lydia age 16; Marie age 12; Pearl age 9; Harriet age 4; and William, age 1.
In 1920 (census)
she was living in Marshalltown, IA, age 49, divorced. Father born in PA and mother in Germany. Harriett E. age 14, and William T. age 10, were living with her. William birthplace listed as Nebraska.
1950, according to California Death Index, 1940-1997, John Andrew Fickes born 2 Apr. 1886, died 28 Mar 1950, mother's maiden name BENCE, father's surname FICKES.
Haven't had any luck locating William or any of the girls - yet.
Emmanuel Bence, brother of Henrietta, had 3 girls and a boy. I have found the 3 girls, but the boy, Roy Bence, has eluded me. He was born abt. 1904 or 1905. There are two of them on SSDI in that time range, both in Iowa. However, those records cost $27 now so haven't been able to spend that kind of money to see which one is son of Emmanuel, or to find that neither one is related.
