• Notes

  In the 1870 U. S. Census, Mary, age 12, was listed with her parents Albert Bela, age 37, and Harriet Finch, age 32, and three other children, Myron, age 11, Albert, age 8, and Robert, age 1 (which seems to be in error. No mention was made of Laura Virginia who should have been age 4). The children were born in Iowa, except for Albert who is listed as born in New York. 1870 U. S. Census, Harrison Co., Iowa (National Archives Microfilm M593 Roll 395), Harrison Twp., p. 32A, Lines 36-40 and Line 1, page 32B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Was not able to locate Mary Laduska Vining Atherton (A363) on the 1880 Census Soundex for Iowa (T748, Roll 1), while researching at the National Archives Regional Administration, Atlanta, GA, in August, 2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the 1900 U.

She received her education in the public schools at Dunlap and at Brooks, Iowa, and taught in the schools of Monona county. On March 14, 1880, she was united in marriage to James Atherton. To this union seven children were born: Charles and James of Missouri Valley, Miss Hattie Atherton and Verna Brott of Lincoln, Nebr., Mrs. Sarah Tucker of Los Angeles, California, and Mrs. Ida Austin and Raymond, who have preceded her in death. She was baptized and confirmed in the Westminister Presbeterian church of Lincoln, Nebr., Nov. 23, 1935.

Austin: When Grandma and Aunt Hattie lived in Mo Valley, they had two lots, a large garden, rasberries and strawberries. On back end of lot was a building with a carriage house, cob and coal house and chicken house for some hens so they always had eggs for thier own use and some to sell. The house is gone now and there are two houses there now. Grandma had a loom. She made rag rugs for family and sold some, gave a lot away. I can still see her throwing the shuttle back and forth. Always had a boarder or two. Harold Martin worked at the post office. When he decided to go to school to be a ostopath, they [was this Grandma and Aunt Hattie?] sold out and went to Marysville, Mo. to be with him. They had canaries in Mo Valley, Dickie and Minnie. Raised some little ones for sale. Evey summer they would come to our place for a week or two, one at a time, then go over to Uncle Raymond and Aunt Fanny for a week or two before going back home on the train. We always went there for Christmas.
