Etta Mae Fuchs Family


Etta Mae Fuchs was the first born child of Charles and Anna (Alborn) Fuchs. Etta was born in 1887 in or near Adel,Dallas Co.,Iowa. Etta Married Ward Allen Smith in 1907 at the age of 20. Etta and Ward were the parents of two daughter's. Inez Mauries Smith Born 13 Jan 1909 Dead 22 Sept. 1995. The other daughter was Etoyle Ann Smith born 4 June 1914 in Lauerns,Pocahontas Co.,Iowa and died on 13 April 1998 in Lauerns,Pocahontas Co.,Iowa. I will talk about the daughters later.

Etta Husband Ward Allen Smith was the son of Samual Harrison Smith and mother was Martha Cravens His parents were cousins. Ward was one of 11 childern. We will later see that Ward brother Wayne (Wave) Smith married one of Etta's Sister's (Ella Fuch's).

In the 1910 Census Ward and Etta was living in Swan Lake Township,Pocahontas Co.,Iowa He was married at age 26 to Etta. In 1900 before marriage he lived in Story Co. New Albany Township, Iowa.

Ward Smith WW1 draft registration card dated Sept. 12, 1918 Pocatontas Co.,Iowa. Lists Etta Smith as next of kin (See Above card)
I do not find a record of Etta (Fuch's) Ward dead. I wonder if Etta may have remarried after Ward died. I have no record of his dead either?
Does anyone have information too please HELP!
