THE ONES THAT GOT
AWAY........
These are the family
members who vanished.
After years of searching,
I have been unable to find them.
Any help in locating them
would be very much appreciated.
William and Sarah
(Castator) Baker are listed on the 1850 census of Shelby County, Indiana with
daughters, Mary, Nancy, Prudence, and Elmira.
Part of the family
went to Page county, Iowa in the fall of 1850, the others followed a few years
later.
William died Sept.
1, 1850.
Mary married in
Johnson county, Indiana in 1851.
Prudence married
in Page County, Iowa in 1853.
The mother, Sarah,
remarried in Page County, Iowa in 1856.
Elmira married in
Nodaway County, Missouri in 1858.
Nancy
disappeared. She was born January 19, 1832 in
Indiana.
She probably
married someone near Shelby County, Indiana or Page County,
Iowa.

Mary Columbia
Foster, age 21, daughter of Martin and Mary D. (Carpenter) Foster,
married
Charles William
Hartman, age 30, son of Daniel and Mary (Mclaughlin) Hartman
in Alliance, Box
Butte County, Nebraska, on 9 April, 1889.
Then
they disappeared.
Where did they
go?
Both were born in
Missouri.
Update:
Mary Hartman died
in Nevada, Missouri on July 4, 1905.
Her son, Charles,
escorted her body back to Alliance, Nebraska for burial.
Still no trace of
the family in 1900, no death record for the husband, or any sign of the son
after 1905.
Any help
appreciated.
