Hi Don! I am related to John Nutt's daughter Effie Ann who
married
Jefferson
Hoffman. Am wondering if you have a date of death for Anna Philhower.
I'm
going to Boone, IA in a few weeks & wanted to see if I could find her Obit.
Have you been to Squire Boone Cemetery in Boone? I have dates off a few
Nutt's that were buried there, but haven't yet connected them (if you know
what I mean) yet. Let me know if you'd like their names/dates. Lin
Could have sworn I would have that date, but when I checked the database,
zilch. Anna was born (according to my records) 11 Nov 1805 in Tewksbury
Twp, Hunterdon Co NJ. She went with her children to Boone Co IA in
(apparently) 1856 after the death of her husband John NUTT in Vigo Co. Anna
and her children apparently became rather prominent in Boone Co and married
into several prominent families - the BOONEs and HULLs, to mention two. If
Anna's headstone doesn't give a date, I suspect the local historical
society could provide it. I would certainly be interested in having it. You
might try writing ahead of your arrival, to the historical society, to
check with them. Would love to have any names and dates you have on Boone
Co NUTTs (including HOFFMANs), and would let you know soon whether I can
help connect them for you. No, never been to Boone, though I think I passed
through Iowa several decades ago. Good to hear from you cuz. Don in Laos
