<DIV><STRONG>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?</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>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. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>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. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Grace married Gustav Himmel in Myrtle Cr. in 1910. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Many questions, no answers.</STRONG></DIV>
