• Notes

  Mary Speirs Young visited in Council Bluff, IA in August 1875 and stated she wished to visit her brother, George's children who were all living in one neighborhood about 18 miles out of Council Bluff. She was invited to prolong her visit and as soon as the harvest was finished they would take her to visit with them. She was unable to do so but did report that William had three girls, Margaret had a boy and a girl, Agnes had three girls and two boys and George had two girls.
