#8. Clara Belle 7-24-1889 Nevada, Story Co, Iowa. #8 Mable Florence 5-31-1891 Nevada, Story Co., Iowa.The family can be found in the 1880 Marshall Co, Iowa census. The 1895 Richland township (Navada City), Story County, Iowa State census which gives birth places of each. William Straw,Sr. is not listed with the family. His brother John Straw is. William had heart disease, maybe in hospital at the time. The 1900 Union twp, Polk Co, Missouri Census, brother John Straw is still with them. The 1910 Parker twp,( which was Coffeeville) Montgomery Co, Kansas census. Brother John Straw is still living with them. William died between 1910 and 1918,some say in Coffeeville.Both him and John were pretty old in 1910. In 1918 Elizabeth is living with their daughter Ida and James Lane in Wishart, Polk County, Missouri.Per son John Straw WW1 draft registration. In 1920 Elizabeth is living with daughter Lillian Straw-Griffin in Okmulgee, Okmulgee Co, Okla.My gandparents Andrew Jackson and Eva Straw and the family is also there a few households before. Our old Straw family bible listed also as children of William and Elizabeth. Lyman Iowen King born March 4th, 1870 and Minnie Elota King November 2, 1872. They were not their natural born children or Elizabeth's children. I figure they might have been adopted from one of the King families living in Marshall county that had died or from the orphan trains that brought orphans from the east cost. I figure Lyman Barner might have been on one of those trains as well.
addenda:
Elizabeth had two children before she married William J.Straw. The first was a son named Lyman Owen Barner born in 1868 in Clinton County, Pennsylvania. He only used the name Owen. His last name was later changed to King. Elizabeth had a daughter named Minnie Elota King in 1871.]EvaMyrick]
