Bump and Kester - Miami Co, Kansas

Surnames: Bump, Kester, Cook
I'm looking for information on my great great grandmother - Anna Mollie Bump. She married Ferdinand Warren Kester in Vermillion CO, IL in 1871 and they had 2 children, Eliza and William. In 1880 the 4 are on the Osawatomie, Miami CO, KS census - but then in 1883 she married my great great grandfather, Miles Oliver Cook.

Together Miles and Anna moved to Oklahoma and had 5 children - before Anna died she traveled back to Paoli, KS to visit her son, William Kester - where she died on Aug 30, 1911. She is buried at OSage Cemetery in Agra, OK - her husband Miles died in December of that year. They were early settlers in the town of Agra.

I found a census from 1870 in Danville, Vermillion, IL that shows their family
William - 53, farmer - born in NY
Elizabeth - 46 - born in Ohio
William - 21, son
Annie - 16, daughter
Lilly - 8, daughter - I believed she married a Kester also.
Betsy - 6, daughter

Anyone who has info and would like to share on these two families - I'd really appreciate the help - thanks.
