the obit for Mary's brother (Roy or Lee) and the 1880 census is the only info i have on Mary DUQUETTE.

I'm hoping someone may be able to find additional info on her such as 1900, 1910 or 1920 census records, as well as marriage records. We know that Mary's parent's John & Elizabeth DUQUETTE divorced sometime after 1900. In 1900 Mary's parents are at--
1900 census of Pottawattamie co, Iowa, Kane Township, Council Bluffs city-
-Duquette, John head, Nov 1845, age 54, md 32 yrs, born in Canada, parents in France, occ.-gold miner
, Elizabeth wife, July 1852, 47, md 32 yrs, 3 children, 3 survive, b. in Mich., parents b. in NY, occ.-boarding house

By 1900 Mary would be about 26 and may already be married. It is unknown who or when or where she married. According to Mary's brother's 1915 obit below she may have married someone with last name of Abel or Able in Lincoln, Neb.

nothing else is known about Mary but other info is avail. for her siblings and father. Mary may have followed her parents to Iowa or her mother to Mich. or her father to Colorado after their div..
