Individual Details
Alice Nelson
(1846 - 22 Jul 1889)
When John O. Wishard applied for the Minor's Pension for Flora Wishard, he stated that no death record was available for Alice. There was a letter from the Auditor for Spokane County, Washington, confirming this fact. Ida testified that she was present when her mother died "at her home". Obviously Ida meant her mother's home, because Ida was about 16 and unmarried. Abram was still apparently receiving his pension back in Iowa - at least he was examined by physicians there for increases in 1885 and 1890. Had they separated or divorced? Why was Alice in Washington State?
