Good morning,
I'm looking for information on Hattie (Sharp) Shaffer bd Aug 1866
possibly in Kendalville, IN. married David Shaffer of Corunna, IN on 3
May1887.
David died 7 May 1901. Hattie was remarried I believe in 1907 to Harry
Cook. I have found them in the 1910 census in Chicago, IL with two of
David's sons Karl and Paul (the wife's grandfather) Shaffer.
Hattie's parents are said to be Lawrence and Catherine (Friend) Sharp.
the problem is that in 1900 Catherine is showed living with Hattie and
David but her last name is shown as THORPE. Does anyone have any info on
Lawrence and Catherine ?
Also after 1900 I lose two of David's children Ethel L.Shaffer and Ross
A. Shaffer in 1900 Ethel would have been 12 yrs old and Ross would have
been 7 if Hattie remarried in 1907 as suspected Ethel would have been 19
and Possibly married. Ross would have been 14. Any suggestions where to
look for these two missing kin??
Any and all help or leads will be most appreciative.
Steve
