The 1900 census lists Mary as being a mother of 8 at the time. It also lists Mary as being born in Iowa in January 1858, Mary's dad being born in Ohio, and Mary's mom being born in Ireland. It lists James as being born in Iowa in March 1860, James' dad as being born in Ireland and his mom being born in Ohio. It lists as them being married for 16 years - James around age 24 and Mary being around age 26.
FRANCES was married to Charles William Blotz [married on June 23, 1909]. They had 10 children - Charles, John, Esther, Mabel, Mary, Richard, Joe, Alfred, Eva and Helen. She and her husband lived for many years in Albany, California in a little house on the corner of Stannage and Dartmouth.
My grandmother (Helen) told me that Frances passed away due to severe injuries sustained after being hit by a car while trying to cross the street at the corner of Dartmouth and San Pablo Avenue in Albany, California. The 19 year old driver, a young lady, did not see her due to the severe rainstorm they were having. No charges were filed, as our family realized it was just an accident.
NOTE: Frances is my great-grandmother. Her daughter, Helen, is my father, David Allen Hernes', mother. ~Alina
