Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Sorry, Jannette, I have no knowledge of the Closson Clan that you have listed. Even though I lived in Iowa for 50 years, we had no other relatives there.

Hi CLOSSON Listers,
I first posted this "story" in Aug 1998 and with the increased number of
list members, I thought I'd give this another try. I sure hope someone
out there can help me!!
I've been searching for years to try to find out "the rest of the story"
concerning Fern Catherine CLOSSON. This lady is fairly "near" in time,
which I suppose is one reason I've had no luck.
After many years of searching, I really don't know a great deal, but
what I do know is this:
Fern Catherine CLOSSON b. ~1899 in Chickasaw County Iowa
Parents: George A. CLOSSON and Hannah E. ANDERSON
George A. CLOSSON, b. ~1864 in Wisconsin (was a farmer), George
indicated that his parents were both born in Iowa on the 1910 Census
Hannah E. ANDERSON, b. ~1876 in Illinois, her parents b. Illinois
Source: 1910 Census, Chickasaw Co Iowa (Dresden Twp)
There were other children in the family besides Fern:
Darr(?) CLOSSON, b. ~1896, Iowa
Harold CLOSSON, b. ~1901, Iowa
Minnie CLOSSON, b. ~1906, Iowa
Milton CLOSSON, b. ~1908, Iowa
The situation is thus: I have the marriage record of Fern C. CLOSSON
and Leo Edwin ALCOCK. They were married 11 Nov 1914 at New Hampton,
Chickasaw County Iowa.
Within 3 years time, I find that Leo Edwin ALCOCK is married to Emma C.
HARTMANN and I have that marriage record dated 28 Jun 1917, Charles
City, Floyd County Iowa.
I have never been able to satisfy my desire to learn "what
happened".......
I have not been able to find any evidence of Fern after her marriage in
1914 to Leo Edwin ALCOCK. I have tried to find a death record for
Fern..... no luck, so far
I have tried to find a divorce record for Fern and Leo E., ...... no
luck, so far
I have tried to find another marriage record for Fern to someone
else..... no luck, so far
Leo Edwin ALCOCK and his second wife, Emma HARTMANN, continued to live
in Chickasaw County Iowa after their marriage in 1917.
I've speculated that perhaps Fern died in childbirth, but can find no
evidence. I would really like to just find out WHAT HAPPENED to Fern??
Can anyone help........ does anyone recognize this CLOSSON family?? I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who can shed some light on this
subject for me.
Thank You,
Jannette
