Caroline Zelphia Ann Comstock
(14 Apr 1823 - 17 Feb 1909)
G. M. Comstock says after the Civil War they moved to Cherryvale, Kansas, where Caroline died. Found on p. 266 of Deed Book B in McDonald County MO: William R. Randall & his wife Caroline of Franklin County, Kansas sell to James F. Holms of McDonald County 181.56 acres in Sect 7, Twp 23 and Sect 18, Twp 23 of Range 29; dated 21 Mar 1867.
Many sources say that William and Caroline settled and died in Cherryvale KS. This is in error; it was Cedar Vale, approximately 80 miles West of Cherryvale. Buried in Round Mound Cemetery in unmarked graves with some of their children.
