Here is what I have: Did he die in 1887 or 1878?
John F. Shields married Mrs. Fidelia Benadom June 21, 1871 in Rome Township. Her maiden name was Burroughs and she was born around 1827 in Van Buren, Onondaga County, New York, USA. Her first husband was Simon Peter Benadom (1826-1921) whom she married 1844 in Lancaster, Ohio. The strange part is that Benadom was the postmaster in Jones County 1856 and well known in Lincoln, Nebraska as a pioneer after moved there in 1868. But all histories and some databases mention that Fidelia died in 1866 which is not true. She can be found on the 1880 Lincoln, Pottawattamie Co., Kansas census with her youngest son Wilford. One wonders why she was written off as dead?
