In searching the 1900 census, I found a George DODGE living in Beloit as a newspaper editor. Wife is listed as Hattie and son, Fred H. I suspect George may be Mary Anna's brother. Mary Anna's obituary states that she and William Clay moved to Beloit in 1910. Was wondering if David and Matilda could possibly be buried nearby? The last known place of residence for them is Kirwin, Phillips County, around 1883. Any info on their death/burial would be greatly appreciated.
Also seeking anyone with a family history or family tree for the Charles FILE and Katherine SPANGLER FILE family. I know who their children are; am needing generations after that. Also wondering about ancestors of Charles and Katherine. I understand Mitchell County is still populated with many FILEs as Charles bought up much of the land after the depression and divided it amongst his eleven children, my grandmother, Clara FILE, being one of them. Any info is appreciated. Also, i have a wealth of info on DODGE / BROWN / FILE to share.
