Hello Harrison Co List:

I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me anything about Amanda
Newberry. We think that her maiden name may have been Elliott, but we are unsure
at this juncture.

An Amanda (whose maiden name we are unsure of) married James Newberry who
resided in Pottawattamie Co. and Mills Co. when she was just a teenager, and he
was in his 80's. They either divorced or she left and supposedly went into
Harrison Co. We think that she also may have gone to page Co. and married a man
named William Epla, who seemed to have a penchant for marrying and divorcing.

If our hunch is correct, she went on to California, and is found there in
1930 and dies shortly afterward at the age of 76. Her son Harlan is there in
California as well.

This has been pieced together with census records, but we have been unable to
come up with a marriage record for she and James Newberry. The only record
we have found her on is the deed that she signed when she and James Newberry
sold a piece of property in Pottawattamie Co.

Thanks for any info anyone can provide. This is a real conundrum.

Sue
