Calvin,

Thank you for the response. However, my William Monroe Adams is at least
fourth generation in the U.S. We have traced his family from Illinois back
to Indiana back to Ohio, back to North Carolina, back to Virginia, pre
Revolutionary War. Our last proven record for him is in the 1850 Louisa
Co., Iowa, census. His uncle left Louisa Co. in 1852 and settled in Turner,
Marion Co., Oregon. We are trying to find out if William may have gone West
with him. A family member lists William's death as 2 JAN 1871 in Salem, but
we have no documentation. I was hoping to find an obituary, death notice,
and or burial record that might provide the proof.

Jim

>>William died in January 1916 and then Charles Schubert married widow

>>Otis married Hazel and worked as a mechanic and later owned a Ford

>>Boyd lived with a male companion in 1920 and in 1930 was divorced,

>>Otis Antone Adams died 10/13/1945 and was interred in the National
>>Veterans Memorial in Hawaii.
>>
>>Emma E. Keating / Adams / Schubert died in 1953 in Marion County.
>>She is buried with Charles in Silverton Cemetery, Silverton, OR.
>>
>>Boyd Mason Adams died 1/4/1980 in Grants Pass, Josephine County, OR
>>at the age of 90.
