Peter den Adel [16 July 2011]

Hi, I'm doing a little research on Peter den Adel, and came accross this obit:

http://wagenweb.org/lincoln/obitsmaccabeed.htm DenAdel, Margaret, d/o Abe and Nellie; d. 5-14-1909 (see SLE, p.252-253) “Margaret, aged two years, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter (sic) DenAdel of Sprague was drowned in a spring May 14th.” (Citizen: 5-28-1909) “A tragedy occurred at the home of Peter Den Adel, last Friday evening, when Margaret, the two year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Abram Den Adel, was drowned in a shallow pool of spring water. The Den Adel family had made arrangements to leave here, expecting to move to Columbia Siding, where Mr. Den Adel had secured employment. Before departing they were visiting her parents. The children were planting flower seeds and the child was dipping water from the spring to water the ground, when she lost her balance and fell in. She was rescued within five minutes but death followed. Mr. Den Adel was at Edwall when the accident happened. The funeral was held Sunday at 12 o’clock from the ME Church, Rev Willis Luce officiating.” (Sprague Advocate: 5-21-1909; per SLE, Peter and Jennie Den Adel came to Sprague in the late 1890’s with four boys and five girls. Of those, two were identified: Cora Den Adel Leenders and Abe, who married Nellie.)

I didnt find it on your obits, so I'm not sure you have this or if you're interested in it, maybe there is no relation at all, anyway I copied it. --henk 14:48, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

Thanks, Henk. I can't quite figure out who this is. If I get a chance, I'll see if I can find a death certificate that would help, but that may take a while.
Sounds like you're finding a lot of stuff in your searches. Good luck.--GayelKnott 16:18, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

Just back from a trip to Salt Lake. While there I did check the death records, and have added a Family Page for Abraham, with daughter Margaret--GayelKnott 17:32, 25 July 2011 (EDT)
