Hmm. You are probably right about the "widow" issue. I found the second marriage date confusing as well, especially as it pops up on some family trees(even though Amanda is listed as his 2nd wife with Cleve's birthdate as 1890.) Then I ran across the document myself(could be a mis-transcription or two people with the same names.
Could you e mail me directly. That way I can send you what I have. I would be happy to share info and pool our resources.
I would love any information on the Morrison side of the family ...especially Hannah, Emoline's sister.
I know that Rosa also corresponded with My Aunt Claire in California, but sadly I don't have access to it.
