  • Notes 
    • UID BEC6DF428B4B504AAA757BFFE2EFEC57C261
    • (Research):My mother says that her grandfather (John M) was married twice, that Colie P used to talk about how mean his stepmother was. Looking at the 1900 census, Colie was 13 and Jahn & Laura had been married 10 years, so she must be the step mother he was talking about.

      Still need to find Colie P's mother

      Note that there are two children Charley Low (14) and Horace Low (12) also listed in 1900 census as part of that household. My mother says she vaguely recognizes the names but doesn't know who they are. Addtl research needed there to find how where they came from.
