In Response To: Re: Orphan Rider/Iowa/Great Grandmother (Linda Ziemann, Orphan Train Coordinator)

Marietta Axtell 1886-1938 52 y.o. Orphan Train adoptee Buried in Lawler, Iowa North Cemetery
married 1908: Louis (Fred) Fisher 1881-1975 North Cemetery
Adoptive Father: James Hand 1815-1890 Buried in Lawler, Iowa. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel w/wife
Adoptive Mother: Catherine (Smith) Hand 1828-1901 Buried in Lawler, Iowa.
Adoptive Siblings: James Hand 1855-1929 Buried in Minneapolis, Minnesota (never married)

Philip Hand 1858-1928 Buried in Armour, South Dakota w/wife

married ????: Mary Ann (Sullivan) Hand 1868-1937

Mary Rose (Hand) Barnes 1873-1967 Buried in Cresco, Iowa w/husband

married 1896: Andrew Barnes 1870-1959

This means that her father James Hand died when she was 4 years old. Her mother Catherine (Smith) Hand died when she was 15 years old and I believe she was taken in by her sister Mary Rose (Hand) Barnes who with her husband Andrew lived in Lawler, Iowa on the Hand family farm until 1936 and then moved to Cresco, Iowa. Mary Rose had a son buried in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel at Lawler in 1908. He was born in 1904 and was named George Barnes. So, he died the same year that Marietta was married and would have been her nephew. Marietta died young at 52 y.o. and her and Louis had at least 8 children in Lawler, Iowa.
