Thank you for the suggestion. Transcript of the Divorce degree is on file in the Widows Civil War pension file No 340.304 Nat Arch filed for Lydia E Boswell St Clair Saunders by J.F. Oliver Atty, Eddyville, IA. Lydia Elvira (Elvira Lydia) Boswell St Clair Saunders filed for a widows pension after the death of William Marion Saunders. She had to prove her divorce from Harrison St Clair and only a copy of the St Clair final decree is included in the material I received from the National Archives. I have written for any previous court records and was told they were not available.. Now I will try the newspapers.
Yes, Lydia E Boswell St Clair Saunders did marry Charles S Parsons 16 Aug 1891 in Eddyville, Wapello, IA. He died in Oskaloosa in 1908 and she moved to Minnesota and lived with her daughter and son in law Frank and Estelle Ruth. She died in Minneapolis, Hennipen Co MN on 18 Oct 1911 and is buried in Lakewood cemetery. Elvira Lydia Boswell was the daughter of Hiram Boswell and Sarah Harvey. The family were Quakers.
Thank you again, Carole G in CA
