• Notes

  Des Moines Register, 7 Dec 1925: WINDER -- THe funeral of Mrs. Mary E. Winder, mother of W. M. Winder, t12 S.E. 7th St., who died Saturday, will be held from Dahistrom's Funeral Home at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. Interment is Laurel Hill Cemetery. From: Steven Bell Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 9:15 AM [snip] My great grandmother was Cora Ann Smith Blachley. Cora was the daughter of Mary Slater and John Smith Wapello Co Iowa. Cora was born Jan 8 1871 in Eldon Iowa Wapello Co. She married James Grant Blachley Feb 29 1888 in Wapello Co Ia. She died in Des Moines Polk Co Iowa May 4 1955. Cora was known to have a brother Jack (John ) Winder. Her father John Smith was hung in front of the courthouse in Ottumwa Iowa about 1874-1875. He got drunk and killed the sheriff. We were told her mother Mary was Cherokee Indian. I do have the County Biographical write up on John Smith's hanging also a copy of the newspaper article detailing the situation. This was a well kept secret about the family. My cousin came back from California about 10 years ago and he said he had heard something about this. So we went down to our historical library here in Des Moines and we found out all about it. [snip] Donna Bell sdbell@home.com My 3rd great granmother was Sarah Joiner born in Missouri per 1880 Jefferson Co Des Moines twp for Mary Stater Smith Winder my 2nd great grandmother. Sarah married William Stater aug 27 1849 Bartholomeu Co Indiana. I was told she was on the trail of tears. I don't know who her parents were, but she and her husband ended up in Jefferson Co Iowa. I really don't have much to go on. Can anyone shed light on this for me? Thanks, Donna Bell sdbell@home.com
