Lafayette Libby
I just got confirmation that Joseph and Sarah Libby (parents of Edward, Ora, Ada, May and Alice) had a son named Lafeyette, who died in Iowa:
"I did find a death record for Lafayette Libby in Book 1, page 18, of the death records at the Black Hawk County courthouse. He died at the age of 2 years, 6 months and 5 days on July 12, 1881, at 3 p.m., in Waterloo, of dysentery. It said that he was buried on July 13, 1881 in West Waterloo in the "new" cemetery which I believe is Elmwood cemetery. I've got a call into the manager of Elmwood to check to see if Lafayette is in their records. The death record also said that he was born in Texas. No parent name listed on the record."
Elmwood Cemetery is also where Joseph's brother Lewis and his wife Missouri are buried.
The 1900 census says that Sarah and Joseph had 9 children altogether, but only 5 were living in 1900.
