DREWES, DRAVIS
Posted by: Jessica Drewis (ID *****1136) Date: June 24, 2006 at 10:30:25
  of 340

There were three main relatives that I am looking for whom all lived in Fayette County, Iowa around 1895. Their names are Michael DREWES, August DREWES and Theodore DRAVIS.

It would appear by looking at the census in 1895 that Michael DREWES was living with one of his son's August DREWES in Fayette County, and in this census, Mary DREWES, Michael's wife, does not appear. This would lead me to believe that she had passed away sometime between 1880 and 1895.

Theodore DRAVIS was another son of Michael & Mary DRAVIS whom lived in Fayette County. He married Elizabeth ZIEGLER, and they appear together in the census of 1895 in Oran, Fayette Co., Iowa.

I have found that Theodore passed away later in the year and was buried in Oran and in the same cemetery are also buried two of his children:

Theodore Dravis       1857        22 Jun 1895        Oran        Oran
Martha Dravis       1890        1912        Oran        Oran
William Dravis       1893        1924        Oran        Oran

The census records that I have for the family members that once lived in the area are as follows:
