Martha Travers Illinois 1858
Seeking info on my great Aunt, Martha P. Travers who emigrated to Illinois 1870's approx. Originally from Courtmacsherry, Co. Cork, Ireland. Father Jasper Travers, mother Susannah Perrot.
She was a graduate of of the Women's Medical College of Chicago in 1875.
Married childhood sweetheart Thomas G Wagstaff, who had gone to USA earlier and became a wheelwright in Kansas?
Martha devoted her life to the practice of her profession at Hiawatha and was a member of the State Medical Society of Kansas. She also was an active member in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Does anyone have information re: children, where/when she died etc. I am struggling on this one.
Many thanks, in anticipation.
PS: Martha's brother, Matthew, was my great-grandfather and lived in S. Wales, UK.
