Henry C Powers was found in 1870 Cass Co Iowa census with wife Mary and in 1900 in Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska with wife Mary and stepson Jessie Hough. He served in the Civil War out of Plattsmouth,Nebraska M Julia is listed as born in Iowa in the census but listed as born in Omaha on her death certificate. She married UNK Curtis I assume in Fremont Co Iowa as her brother Marion Johnson bought land off a Curtis in Fremont Co Iowa. I assume as a wedding present for Julia. They had one child, Marion Johnson Curtis probably also born in Fremont Co Iowa. Would love to find a geneology angel to look up the probate records in Harrison Co Iowa on my ancestors ************************************************** Copyright © 2009 by Romona Powers-Perkins.
