Lettie Burthoff1

Marriage*She married, as his first wife, John Emanuel, son of Jacob Emanuel and Mahala Truett.1 
Research Notes*The marriage of Lettie (Burthoff) Emanuel and John Emanuel ended shortly after the birth of their son, Harry, in February 1881. Whether Lettie died, or they divorced, we don't know. The only record we have found that mentions them is the marriage of their son in December 1904 when they were identified as his parents. We've not found Lettie or John on the 1880 census, or any record for Harry before his marriage. We suspect Harry was raised by his father and his second wife because Harry's Find a Grave memorial is linked to theirs; however when his father and stepmother were listed in the 1885 Kansas state census, Harry was not listed with them. We've learned nothing at all about Lettie, other than there are many variations to the spelling of her surname. We would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who knows who Lettie was, where she and John were for the 1880 census, together if they were married, or separately if they were not, and where Harry was on the 1900 census. Please contact us if you are able and willing to help.1,2,3

Margaret Burton1

d. before 20 July 1860
Research Notes* Margaret's surname is unclear to us. The Find A Grave Memorial page for her husband, Moses Jackson Belcher, identifies Margaret's surname as BURTON with the report that she married Moses on 22 July 1852. The record of their marriage in Calhoun County, Indiana on 22 July 1852 recorded her name as Margaret CHURCH. The Find A Grave Memorial page for her son and only child, William M. Belcher, also reports her maiden name as BURTON. So... we wonder. Was Margaret's marriage to Moses Belcher her second marriage? Had Margaret BURTON married ___?___ CHURCH before 1852? We always hope when we run into puzzles like this, that someone who knows will contact us with the answers.1,2,3 
Marriage*22 July 1852She married, as his first wife, Moses Jackson Belcher, son of Berry Belcher and Jane Trimble, on 22 July 1852 in Calhoun County, Illinois.1,3,2 
Death*before 20 July 1860She had probably died before 20 July 1860, the date her husband was enumerated on the 1860 census as Jackson Belcher with their only child, 4-year-old William, in Patoka, Crawford County, Indiana.4

Rachel Burtwell1

b. October 1884, d. 9 December 1956
Father*George H. Burtwell1 b. 1835, d. b 1888
Mother*Mary Ann Reedy1 b. Sep 1849
Birth*October 1884Rachel Burtwell was born in October 1884 in Missouri.1,2,3 
(Stepdaughter) Census US 190015 June 1900Rachel was enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 15 June 1900 in the household of her mother and stepfather, Mary A. and Richard M. Timmons, in Lexington, Dawson County, Nebraska. Rachel was 15 years old and at school. She was able to read and write and had attended school for 6 months of the census year.2 
Marriage*28 April 1904She married, as his first wife, Harry C. Brown, son of John H. Brown and Albertine Elliott, on 28 April 1904 in Lexington, Dawson County, Nebraska.1 
(Stepsister) Murder21 October 1908Rachel's stepbrother, Cyrus Y. Timmons, brutally murdered his wife, Estella S. Bogart, who was 19 years old, on 21 October 1908 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. Rachel was married and lived in Nebraska. We have no evidence that she had any relationship with her stepbrother, and don't know if she was even aware of Cyrus's crime. Transcriptions from several newspaper articles reporting the tragic events of the killing, as well as background information and the coroner's jury verdict, are included on Stella's Find a Grave memorial page at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/102900582/estella-s-timmons. The stories also include additional research and historical information about the Bogart family of Lane County, Oregon. Information about Cyrus's subsequent execution may be found on Cyrus's Find a Grave memorial page at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/27539797/cyrus-y-timmonsa.4,5 
Census US 1920*6 January 1920Rachel and Harry C. Brown were enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 6 January 1920 at 156 Ridge Street, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Harry was 37 years of age and worked for wages as a Meat Cutter in a Basket Store, and Rachel was 34 years of age. Their seven children were enumerated with them in 1920. Ralph A., Paul G. and Merle J. were ages 13, 11 and 10 years, respectively, were able to read and write, and had attended school within the census year; Lloyd O. was 6 years old and had attended school within the census year; James H. was 5 years old; and the couple's two young daughters, Doris A. and Martha W., were ages 3 and 2 years, respectively.6 
Census State IA 1925*1 January 1925Rachel and Harry Brown were enumerated on the 1925 Iowa State census taken on 1 January 1925 in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Harry was 43 years of age and Rachel was age 40. Harry's parents were recorded as John Brown, age 80 and born in Virginia, and Albertina Elliott age 75 and born in Ohio, and they had been married in Ohio. Rachel's parents were recorded as George Burtwell, died at age 43, and born in Tennessee, and Mary Reeder, age 77, born in Indiana, and they had been married in Kansas. Harry and Rachel were recorded as married, had each completed their education through the 9th grade of high school, and rented their home for $17.00 per month. Their eight children were enumerated with them in 1925. Ralph, Paul and Merle were ages 18, 17 and 16 years, respectively, and had each completed his education through the 8th grade of grammar school; Lloyd was 12 years old, had completed his education through the 6th grade of grammar school, and had attended school for nine months of the census year; Jimme was 10 years old, had completed his education through the 5th grade of grammar school, and had attended school for nine months of the census year; Doris was 9 years old, had completed her education through the 3rd year of grammar school, and had attended school for nine months of the census year; Wilma was 7 years old and had completed her education through the 2nd grade of grammar school; and Lucille was 4 years old. Everyone in the family, except young Wilma and Lucille, was able to read and write.7 
Divorce*Rachel and Harry C. Brown separated, and were likely divorced, although the timing of the break-up of their marriage is not clear to us. On the 1925 Iowa State census of Council Bluffs, they were enumerated together, with their eight children, and recorded as married. It's possible, however, that only Rachel responded to the questions of the census taker, and that Harry had already moved away and started a new family. On the 1930 census of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Rachel was enumerated as a "widow" and the head of her household, with the couple's six unmarried children. Harry, that year, on the 1930 census of St. Louis, Missouri, was enumerated with his second wife, Clara Luvina (Helton) Brown, and four children between the ages of 2 and 7 years. All of the children were recorded with the surname BROWN, and the three older children had been born in New Mexico. No evidence has yet been found to place Harry in New Mexico, and Clara was recorded on the 1930 census as having married for the first time at age 31, or ten years earlier. So, we've concluded from the information we have, that all four of the children were Clara's, and that at least the youngest, Roy, was also Harry's child. If Harry and Rachel separated and divorced shortly after they were enumerated with their first seven children on the 1920 census, and around the birth of their last child who was born about 1921, all of Clara's four children may have also been Harry's.

We feel confident that "someone out there" knows the truth and can put the confusion in our minds to rest with the answers. We will greatly appreciate the help. If that someone is you, or someone you know, please contact us with the information.7,8,9 
Census US 1930*7 April 1930Rachel Brown was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1930 census taken on 7 April 1930 at 164 Ridge Street, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. She was 45 years of age and recorded as a widow, although her husband was alive and had already remarried. She was able to read and write, rented her house for $!6.00 per month and did not own a radio set. She worked for wages as a laundress in her home. Her two older sons, Ralph A. and Paul G., had married, and were enumerated in 1930 with their respective wives and children. Rachel's six younger children were enumerated with her in 1930. Merle J. was 20 years old and working for wages as a delivery boy for a grocery store; Lloyd O. was 17 years old and working for wages as a delivery boy for a drug store; Jim H. was 15 years old and working for wages as a delivery boy for a dairy; Doris A., Wilma M. and Lucille J. were ages 13, 12 and 9 years, respectively, and had all attended school within the census year. Everyone in Rachel's household, except for the youngest, Lucille, was able to read and write.8,10,11
