Hiram Edward Bayless & Laura A White of Owen Co Ind
Does anyone have the date and place of death for the following couple?
The index to Indiana marriage records (1800-1941) compiled by the W.P.A. lists the marriage on 23 Sep 1875 in Owen Co., Ind, of Hiram E. Balis and Laura A. White.
1880 census of Owen Co., Indiana, Jackson township, enumerated 8 June, lists on p. 9 as family #85:
Bayless, Hiram E., 31, b. Ind Ohio Va, farmer; Laura, 23, wife, b. Ind Ind Ind; William A., son, 3, b. Ind Ind Ind; Theopolis, 1, son, b. Ind Ind Ind; Lucy P., 73, mother, widowed, b. Va Va Va.
Children born after 1880 include Lucy E. b. 1884, Nelly b. 1887, and John W. b. 1889.
I am not descended from this family; my interest comes in because their daughter Lucy married James L. Gregory, who is a cousin of mine on the Hall side (his mother was a Hall.) I like to include complete dates for the parents of spouses on all my family group sheets, whenever possible.
I'm hoping that someone in Owen Co. will have access to either cemetery records or Indiana death records.
Here are some other related records that I do have:
The Indiana Marriages index compiled by the W.P.A. records the marriage on 25 Sep 1903 in Madison Co., IN, of J. L. Gregory, age 28, son of Geo & Lucy, to Lucy Bayless, age 21, dau of Edward & Laura.
Most likely Hiram and Laura both died by 1900, because in that census year all their minor children are living with Hiram's brother, whose name sometimes appears as Richard W. and sometimes as Daniel W.
