Rosetta Lela: 1880 unknown death date? She could have passed from T.B. too?
Minnie Isabelle: 1883 - 1914 (T.B.)

John Amos: 1888 - (twin, put up for adoption enroute to Boulder, Colorado in Thumber, Texas)

Ester Alnura Janett: 1892 - Unknown death date .
The family headed west to start a new life and because one daughter for sure had T.B. which was my grandmother Minnie Isabelle, thinking a dryer climate would help. Not known if? some of the other children had T.B. Louisa's oldest son Will and his father got into a fight which resulted in Will taking his mother Louisa and dumping her in Southwestern Insane Asylum in Bexar, Texas calling her a crazy old woman. Family that I talked with that knew Will said he was a mean tempered and a grouchy old man. It was said that by a family member that Will was angry at his father for having to many children.
Louisa passed on the 12th of October in the year of 1913 in San Antonia, Bexar, Texas. Buried in the South Mount Calm Cemetery.
