Her father didn't want her to marry him in the first place. There is a note in the family bible that he died in Fulton Missouri on July 14th or 15th of 1886. The note is in Sophia's hand. <br /><br />Funny thing though, there is no record of his death or burial in Missouri or Kansas sooooooo what did happen? Who knows. Records were not so well kept on the frontier in those days so maybe he died-- but maybe he didn't and Sophia wrote that note in the bible because she preferred being a widow to an abandoned wife.<br /><br />There are lots of mysteries about her. I have other pictures and some letters too. I'll write more about her and her life in America probably on Hubpages.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600365870806305125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129011669439043954.post-15483920313027714822009-10-15T17:35:23.044-04:002009-10-15T17:35:23.044-04:00Right you are Jama and she looks pretty good for 4...Right you are Jama and she looks pretty good for 41-- I'm so glad that you remembered her birthday and in fact that you were kind enough to do so much detective work in tracking down the story of Frederick and Sophia and the kids.

What a great tribute for her day!<br /><br />I was going to add the other photo you mentioned to the post on Sat's Child, but this one at 41 is the best, and she even looks to be dressed for a party. It could only be better if she were wearing one of her millinery creations bedecked with ribbons and bows that she was so famous for in Burlingame!JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.com
