I"m searching for any information on the family of Francis A Kessler (aka Fred) married to Rose Adele (aka Dell) Taylor, Nov 1866. Known children were Nick b 1872 and Kate born about 1875. Family was believed to be living in Topeka about 1875, then moved to Lawrence KS about 1876. Fred moved his family back to Topeka for employment reasons in Dec 1882 and I believe he died there about 1 year later, Dec 1883. He was a journalist and worked as a "sub" for the newspaper the Commonwealth from time to time. Fred also fought in the CW.

If anyone has a connection to this family or has additional info, I'd like to hear from you.
