Moving West

Grant and Lizzie moved from Iowa to Bourbon County, Kansas.  Later, the family moved to near Holly, Colorado, leaving Sadie Ella behind in Kansas where she had married. In the early 1920’s the family made their last big move, heading west to California without Grant who had died while living in Colorado. 

 

Lizzie died in 1925 in Los Angeles County, California.
