[or-roots] Edmonia Hicks/Grace Ryan - Baker & Doughlas Co's., OR

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

Edmonia (Cooper) Ryan Hicks was b in 1859 in Iowa. In the 1880 census she was 
in Jackson Co. with her mother, Sophia Cooper, an uncle, James Cooper and a 
nephew, Andrew Ames. She was age 19. The family moved to Baker Co. bet. 1880 
and 1885 where Edmonia m. Daniel Ryan in 1888. They had one child, Grace b abt 
1889. Daniel was killed May 21, 1896 for his wagon and goods he was hauling. 
This was in Baker Co. Would there be an obituary for Daniel Ryan? A record of 
their marriage?

By the 1900 census Edmonia is married to Wesley Hicks and is still in Baker 
Co. with Grace. In the 1910 census Edmonia is boarding with a family in Douglas 
Co. with Grace, now 19 and a son, Harry Hicks, age 9. 

Edmonia died in 1914 in Myrtle Creek and is buried in the IOOF cemetery 
there. I have visited her grave site.  Is Wesley Hicks also buried there? He 
probably died before 1910. Would there be an obit and death certificate available 
for him? Was he also buried in the IOOF cem. in Myrtle Creek?  When did they 
move to MC from Baker City? Also, what happened to Harry Hicks after his mother 
died? He would have been abt. 13. 

Grace married Gustav Himmel in Myrtle Cr. in 1910.  

Many questions, no answers.

 Edmonia was my gr grandfather's sister.
