I can update my information now and hopefully someone will be able to fill in the gaps I still have:
I'm looking for information about the Walker family. Mrs. Clara (or Clarissa) Foss Walker (b. 1789 in Vermont; d. between 1870-1880 in Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa) married Alvin L. Walker (b. about 1792 in Vermont; d. Before 1870) on June 24, 1819 in Fairfax, Franklin Co., Vermont. They had 6 known children: Joanna Phillipa Walker (b. July 28, 1820 in Fairfax, Franklin Co., VT; d. After 1910 in Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa); Henry Alvin Walker (b. Feb. 27, 1822 in VT); Justin Elisha Walker (b. Sept. 25, 1825 in VT); Seymore Jacob Walker (b. Nov. 16, 1827 in Fairfax, Franklin Co., VT; d. Jan 1, 1891 in McPherson, McPherson Co., KS); and Brainerd E. Walker (b. about 1834 in VT).
Clara Foss Walker moved to live in Dubuque, Iowa with her daugher Joanna Phillipa Walker Poor after 1870. She was not present with Joanna Walker Poor in the 1880 Census so she must have died. I would like to find an obituary, death notice, or the cemetery where Clara (or Clarissa) Foss Walker was buried so I can know her death date. Does anyone have any suggestions?
