James F Fortner and Jeremiah "Jerry" Hensley
James F. Fortner married Emma Smith on 6/19/1892 in Cass County, MO.Jeremiah Hensley (his first cousin) married Emma's sister, Josie, on 6/16/1892 in Cass County, MO.Josie and Jeremiah had a son they named James Emmett (after his aunt and uncle, I presume).
Jeremiah died in 1899.On 1900 census, Emmett, son of Josie & Jeremiah is living in household with James and Emma.No obit available for Jeremiah - he is buried in Moudy Cemetery.No death or cemetery info found on Josie.
On 1910 Census, Emmett still living with Emma - James is absent on the census so assuming he died.His death would have occurred possibly around 1908 based on birth of his daughter, Vonna.Emma remarried later to a McGuire.
Am hoping to find any information on the demise of James and Jerry and Josie.THANKS!
