Death[1] 29 Nov 1882 New Holland, Logan, Illinois, United States
Burial[1] Richmond Grove Cemetery, Logan, Illinois, United States

Buried in Richmond Grove Cemetery but also has stone in Zion Cemetery in E. Lincoln Township.

In the 1880 census she's 62 and living with daughter Sarah and her husband Onno Niewold in Sheridan, Logan, IL.

She supposedly had a son, James Derr, born in 1852. Her husband, Ezra, had died in 1846 and she hadn't remarried so I have no idea who his father was.

1850 census, Logan Co., IL lists: Thomas Wilson, b. OH, age 24; Mary Wilson, b. OH, age 18; Andrew Olds, b. OH, age 18; Margaret Derr, b. OH, age 32; Margaret J., b. OH, age 10 and Harriet E., b. IL, age 6. Where are Martha and Sarah?
