Notes |
- [Written by grandson Roy Seaver]
Grandma Gorse came over from Germany when she was about
six I think. I don't know what part tho. About all I know
of her, or about her is that her maiden name was Elizabeth
Hood. I think she was born in 1848. Her father and mother
were both dead by the time she was 13. Probably buried at
Kansas City. She had a hard time from then on as the people
that raised her was awful mean to her. Her and grandpa met
while she was working in a restaurant in Kansas City. She
had a brother killed in the Civil War.
Grandma died July 1920. Grandpa died December 1920.
They are both buried in the Deerifled, Missouri cemetery.
