Query: I am researching my family and found a reference to what I think is the cemetery record for my great-grandmother Alice McCoy - McCoy, Alice L. 269-V3
I know on the 1900 U.S. census she was listed at the Kansas State Insane Asylum in Osawatomie KS. The family “story" is that she had to be hospitalized after the death of a child. Her age on the census is 43.
I’m not sure how she ended up in Kansas. In 1880 the family was living in Iowa and in 1900 we think the children were living with different relatives in Nebraska. Her husband went to Colorado for a job and never returned to the family.

Query: The cemetery index lists Woods, Alice A. R. Delia, 24-V3 . If this is the wife of John Quincy Woods (who is also listed on 24-V3), I need her death date so that I can request an obituary. I know John died 3/20/1925 and I’m pretty sure Delia died not too long afterwards as I can’t find her on the 1930 Miami county census. His obituary lists his wife as Delia, and that is how she is listed on the 1920 census. I think her name was Alice Ardelia White before she married John Woods. John is buried in the Elmdale cemetery in Miami county.

Query: Vol. 1 p. 227. I need a lookup for J. H. Dudderer, James M. Dudderer, L. Y. Dudderer. Could you tell me the name of the cemetery they are in? These people are listed as John H. Dudderar, Leanna Dudderar, and James M. Dudderar on the 1870 Stanton Twp, Miami Co., KS census. I believe this James Dudderar/ Dudderer may have been my gr. grandmother Amelia Lambright Cook's 2nd husband. I find her on the 1880 census of Henry Co., MO with a James M. Dudderar/Dudderer, but after that she vanished from MO. I am hoping to find her final resting place and more about this James Dudderar/Dudderer. James M.
