(E-mail Sept 2004 from Althea Kriz)

I don't have anything for Zada and her children. But I will let you know if I find out anything.
I wonder who took care of the children after Zada and Oriel died. I did find a marriage record in Marion County Ohio, for a Sarah J Straw who married a Benjamin F Fulton on
Oct 17,1868. That could be one of Zada's daughters.
