I've been using census reports to work out the family history of a distant cousin of mine, Loduska Hughey, d/o William Brice Hughey and Amanda J. DeShields. According to what I've seen she died in Boone County, Arkansas in 1913, but was living in Grandview Twp., Cherokee County, Oklahoma.
John's first wife, was Katherine Casey, who had also been born and died in Arkansas. Loduska didn't marry James until 1895, and James already had two children--Carolyn (b. 1889) and Ella (b. 1892). I presume Katherine died before the second marriage.
John and Loduska had four surviving children; Loduska lost her first. The other four were Ona Jewel (1899), Garland (1901), Opal V. (1903), and Paul H. (1906). The dates are approximate as it comes from census tract data. When John and Loduska moved to Oklahoma, so did the four children; and before 1920, they moved to Fresno County, California.
John, his daughter Opal, and her husband Leo were all living together in Fresno County in 1930; John died in Fresno County August 30, 1953. In 1930, son Paul was living with his half-sister Ella and her family in Visalia, California. Though all four children were in Fresno with their dad in 1920, I couldn't find the other two children--Ona Jewel and Garland in the 1930 census reports.
John's daughter, Carolyn, died in Loma Linda, California, in 1984; her son in law, Daniel Edward Dirkson, died in the same location in 1982. She was survived by her daughter and two grandchildren. Carolyn's full sister, Ella, married and lived in Fresno County, California, and as far as I know had two daughters.
I don't know when John Samuel married his first wife, Katherine Casey, but it had to have been before 1889, when John's first daughter was born.
Can anyone help me with the small matters here?
--Marriage date of first wife
--when Loduska's first child had been born and died
--were Ona Jewel and Garland still living in 1930, and if so, where
--did Loduska really die in Boone County, Arkansas, and not in Cherokee County, Oklahoma? Boone County may have been the burial place and not the death place
