Death

Susanna was living with Abraham and his family in Kansas according to the 1890 Assessors books.
The 1895 JEWELL COUNTY REPUBLICAN (published 05 Apr 1895, Jewell City, KS) contains death information for Mrs. VanMeter, mother of Abraham VanMeter. She was buried on Thursday and the article also indicates that she was aged 95 years, 5 months and 29 days. She isn't listed in the Athen's cemetery records, but I think that there are two spellings on the gravestone and I am sure that it was just not understood that she was buried there, along with Abraham & his wife, Susana. Since both of the women's names were pretty much the same, it would/could cause confusion! (Marjorie (Kincheloe) Slaughter)
