The family of Cyrus Wendell (1840 - 1927) lived in Oil Twp. during 1875 - 1910 or
thereabouts, having relocated there from Guernsey County, Ohio. It appears from the 1880
and 1900 censuses that his wife Ruth died there before 1900, that a daugher Susan married
a "Smitson", and possibly daughters Ida, Emma, and/or Sarah may have either died
or married there. Susan Smitson "daughter" was in Cyrus' household with a
son at the time of the 1900 census -- not sure where her husband was -- possibly the
marriage fell apart.
By 1920, Cyrus, son John and daugher Minnie were in Stoddard County, Missouri, where he
died in 1927.
Cyrus appears to have favored the "Wendel" spelling of his surname.
Is there anyone on the list who can do a lookup on Perry County deaths and marriages
during this period, to see if they can I.D. any of these folks?
Thanks for anything!
