Israel died
of typhoid fever after nursing his son Ira (age 5) through
a long bout with the same disease. He
is interred in Walker Cemetery, near Greensburg,
IN.
Rebecca was 25 years
old when Israel died. Lydia, their oldest child,
was 6 and Robert, their youngest, was only 3 months old.
Rebecca remarried to a man named Joshua Clark (1801-1887). They
had two other children: Mary (1849-1922) and Wilson (1855-1886). Joshua
would have been in his 40's when he and Rebecca married.
Rebecca, Joshua, and family left Indiana on 9/21/1857 and arrived in Kansas
(Near Baldwin, Douglas County) on 10/26/1857. Ira and Sarah Randel
accompanied the Clarks on this trip.
Rebecca's cause of death was listed as "dropsy & heart trouble." She
and Joshua are interred in the Oakwood Cemetery in Baldwin
City, KS.
