The info I have for this individual is limited. Using the census, Iva L. Hedges was born about 1866 in IL, daughter of Benjamin shipley Hedges and Catherine M.Franklin Hedges. She appears to have married James William Attkisson 1892 in Bourbon Co., KS. They had a son, Luther Attkisson b.2/1/1893 d.3/27/1895 Bourbon Co., KS. I have a listing from OneWorldTree that states Iva L. Hedges d. 9/1932 Potterville, Bourbon Co., KS. I also locate a marriage record for James William Attkisson dated 10/17/1898 to one Mary Elizabeth Watson. This raises several questions. Did Iva and James divorce? Were they really married? Is the Iva L. Hedges death information correct, or is this another individual? A location of where she is buried would also be great. Thanks in advance for any information to putting this puzzle together.
