Does anyone know who this woman is? The only thing I have is a death certificate for Mrs.
Francis Latitia Carr signed by her sister, Mrs. H. S. Singer, as the informant.
Francis was born either 10 Aug 1859 or 01 Jan 1860 in Iowa (depending on which is correct,
her age calculation or the date written for her birth). Her family is enumerated in Sep
1860 in Ironton, Sauk, Wisconsin, but there is no daughter with this name. Parents on the
death certificate are Abraham Ackerman and Elizabeth Smith. Siblings are Mary Catherine
Ackerman (abt. 1854 Ohio), Ellis Napoleon Ackerman(07 Nov 1855 Wisconsin - 07 Sep 1914
Oklahoma), Chloe Jane (Jenny) Ackerman Singer Reed (05 Oct 1858 Wisconsin - 28 Sep 1940
Ohio). Both Abraham and Elizabeth apparently died sometime between 1860 and 1870. In 1870
the 3 older children are living in Marion County, Ohio, with the William Rowan family.
The Rowans have a daughter, Francis, who could be the fourth sibling (adopted?). She is
not with them in 1880.
I have searched using every combination and spelling of Francis and Latitia that I can
think of with Ackerman and Carr and Rowan and no last name at all. I've used both
birth dates, Iowa as a place of birth along with Wisconsin and Ohio. I cannot find her
anywhere. Who is the Carr she married? Any enlightenment on her is greatly appreciated.
