No, Zona was probably born in LaSalle Co., Ill, but grew up mostly in KS in Dickenson Co.
Myggrandmother Marie was born out of wedlock before her mother married John Bender. This
is the first I had heard of them marrying in Lincoln, but it's likely because they
lived there before moving to Council Bluffs. Zona moved to Iowa as a young adult and died
around age 40. My grandmother told me about the traveling Cairns group. She heard about
them from her mother. Not sure how they are related. Zona's father was born in Canada,
but his father was from Scotland, I believe. I think he left Scotland because of his
religion. He may have been forced to leave.
