My ggrandmother, Mary Hawk b.abt. 1869 West Alton, MO, according to son, Hiram's death certificate, married Jacob Smith 20 Feb 1886, and needed her mother's consent.
They had 5 boys; Edward b.Jan 27,1887, Lou b.Jan 1888,
Hiram b. Apr, 17, 1890, Royal b.Feb 1892,William b. 1896.
In the 1900 census Jacob was widowed.
Upper Alton told me she's not buried there.
There is a Jacob Hawk 1870 census,and Hiram Hawk 1900 Census, Portage Des Sioux that could be her father.
Mary would have been 30 years of age in 1900.
I am desperate to find her family and what happened to her.
Thank you kindly,
Lynn DeTrano
