I have now found Obit of Rene Napier and this is all it says.
NAPIER--At LeRoy, Kansas, died, Aug. 15, 1886, at 12 o'clock m. of dropsy, Rene Napier, aged seventy years and twenty days.The subject of this sketch was born in Gracer County, Kentucky, July 16, 1816 and afterwards moved to Monrow County, Ind., where he married March 15, 1836 to Elisabeth Stuart,After living in Indiana a while, he moved to Illinois, and from there to Kansas with their only son, John W.in the spring 1874.Shortly after, his three daughters and their families also came to Kansas and the whole family then lived close together until the death of his youngest and favorite daughter, Mrs. Jane Grant.The shock he received then, seems to have given the old gentleman his death.He never recovered and gradually sank away until the welcome messenger came to call him home to meet his daughter again.He was a member of the M>E> church since 1863 and lived in the hope of a happy eternity.He leaves a widow, one son, two daughters and several grandchildren to mourn his death.
The family requests us to convey their heartfelt thanks to all neighbors and friends who showed their sympathy and kindness during the sickness of their parent.
This is all I have other than Lucinda was married to a Lineback and I do have some info on this.
