I am looking for information on "Susie Myrtle Robinson Green Frisbie", wife of Bert Isaac Frisbie, of Hancock County, Iowa and mother of Anna Morgart of Jasper County, Iowa.

I have an obituary on Bert Isaac Frisbie who was "born near Eldora, Iowa, October 14, 1874, and passed away at his home in Corwith, November 12, 1941. He moved near Renwick at the age of 19............................He was united in marriage to Miss Maggie Larson. They moved to Lone Rock and later to Haifa. One son was born to this union. The son and Mrs. Frisbie preceded him in death. He was united with the Baptist church of Renwick 1893. While at Lone Rock he joined the Methodist Church on August 6, 1907. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Myrtle Green, who with five children are left to mourn his death: Morris, Ferd (not Fred), Orris and Bertha of Corwith, Harry of Kellogg; two step-daughters, Mrs. Earl Foster of Grinnell and Mrs. Rollie Morgart of Marshalltown.............Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church ...............the body was taken to Armstrong for burial."

My interest is in Bert's wife, Susie Myrtle Robinson Green Frisbie. I do not know Susie's exact age, but I do know she married Burt between 1905 and 1910. Records would indicate that Susie Myrtle was born around 1882 as per the 1920 Hancock County, Iowa census, location Magor.

I know that when Mrs. Earl Foster, as shown in the obituary above, died in 1987, that her mother Susie Myrtle was deceased. I know, therefore, that Susie died between 1941 and 1987. I have amassed much information on Frisbies and Morgarts.

Frances Foster, Susie's daughter, (shown as Mrs. Earl Foster in the obituary above) had a son in 1924, Virgil Newton Foster (Tegeler). Virgil spent his life as a Foster, having been raised from the age of 18 months by his stepfather, Clyde Earl Foster of Grinnell. Frances told Virgil that his father was actually Louis Tegeler. We found Virgil's birth record in LaPorte, Indiana, and indeed his father was Louis Tegeler. Virgil's father Louis, Grandmother Theresa Pfeiffer and aunt, Beulah Tegeler, are buried in Storm Lake. But Susie Myrtle remains a mystery.

I need a death date and/or obituary on Susie Myrtle Frisbie.

Any help is appreciated.
