Hello all-
Looking for information on Katherine (Kate) B Bossert b.1872 in Webster City, IA, died 1953 in same place and her first husband, Frank M (Mott) Wood, b. 1870 in OH/MI and died ~1895 of typhoid fever in Webster City, IA. They also had 2 little ones who died about the same time as Frank (1895), their names were Frank Jr., 3, and Kate, infant. Kate, the mother, eventually remarries after 12 years to James McCollough, also a widower, who had older children. James McCollough and Kate divorce between 1920-1925, and Kate moves in with her bachelor brother James Bossert of Webster City, IA. She dies there in 1953 and is buried at Graceland Cemetery there.
I do have info like census records, but what I'm really looking for are notices in the local newspapers, obituary notices, a biography collection, etc. as I'm wondering about the details around Frank Wood's death and the children's deaths. I haven't been able to locate Frank Wood's burial place either (or that of his children).
Thank you for reading!
