The IRVIN Family of Page County Iowa.

I am researching the family of JOHN IRVIN and MARTHA McQUISTON who were married in 1879 in College Springs, Iowa. JOHN IRVIN died in 1925 and MARTHA IRVIN died in 1934. They are both buried in Maple Hill Cemetery. So far I can gauge that they had four children.
1. JOHN IRVIN (Jnr) was born in 1886 and married JEAN CATO from Northboro in 1914 in Clarinda. He died in 1947 and she died in 1988, her last known address being in Shenandoah. I don’t know if they had any children or not.
2. JAMES LESTER/LESLIE IRVIN was born in 1894 and died in 1901 aged six years old.
3. WESLEY FRANK IRVIN was born in 1896 and married OLLIE LEA KELLEY in 1918 in Clarinda. He died in 1970. I don’t know when she died or if they had any children.
4. BESSIE ELLA RUBEY IRVIN was born in 1989 and died in 1956. I don’t think she was married.
Any information about these folk, if they were Presbyterian, what they did, if they have any surviving relatives…any information would be gratefully received.
