I sent a request earlier thinking I had subscribed to this list, but
apparently I had not. I have since subscribed, so I want to send this
message again in hopes that it reaches everyone on the list and
hopefully finds someone with information.
My grandmother was married 3 or 4 times, and I am trying to locate
information on her 1st husband, who was also the father of her 2
daughters, my father's half-sisters. Since my grandmother, 2 aunts, and
father are all deceased I am trying every avenue I can to locate this
information.
Lloyd CARDWELL was born about 1878 in Concord Township, Woodbury County,
Iowa, the son of Albert CARDWELL and Cora SMITH, who were themselves
married in Lincoln, Plymouth, Iowa on 10 Nov 1877.
I'd like to find out the exact birth date. Lloyd married my
grandmother, Gilka "A" or Gail BUSS in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie,
Iowa on 17 Jan 1907. They moved to Deuel County, Nebraska. In Lisco,
which is now in Garden County, they had 2 daughters: Grace Minnie
CARDWELL born 9 Aug 1908 and Helen Mae CARDWELL born 31 Aug 1909. Lloyd
and Gail divorced, and I have not found anything on him after the birth
of Aunt Helen. I do not know where he was on the 1910 or 1920 Censuses,
or if he ever married again and had other children, or when and where he
died. If anyone in the CARDWELL family has information on him, please
contact me.
Thanks, Ed Scriven
