BURIAL:

Marriage license gives the name of wife as Lurine N. Waterman.

Found in the 1870 federal census in Fremont,Fayette,Ia with child Waittie 19 and
a child Guy 12.  Found Guy Adams marriage certificate with Stephen E. Howard as
petitioner marrying in Bremer County, Ia and said Guy's mother was Leona
Waterman and father was Mark Adams.  Found Mark Adams with a wife Susanna and
they had a child 3 so this could be a second marriage.  Found death cert for
Lurine Adams in Chickasaw Co, Ia in 1886 which indicates Susanna was Lurina
and there wasn't a second marriage.  Need to find Mark in federal and state
census in Iowa and Illinois.

Barbara note on the History of Cook County you sent that Mark W. was a soldier
in the 127th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, who died at LaGrange, Tenn.  I have
of copy of this also  and I took this to mean he was probably killed in the
Civil War.  This Mark is a son of Guy Adams probably brother of Horace Jr.

Mark who marries Lurina is probably a brother of Horace Jr.  He would have been
born in about 1817 according to the 1870 federal census and could fit right
in.  He also could have been related some other way.  George Ott who did the
genealogy definitely thought Guy was a brother to Horace Jr. and thought
there were more children from the earlier census records.

Need to find Mark in 1860

Need to find the cemetery where Lurina and Mark are buried. Mark buried
Chickasaw Twp. per death cert.  Need copy of obit.

Date of birth of Halsay still not proved.  If he was born in 1817 this would
indicate that Mark is not a son of Horace Adams Sr.
