catherine posson fullen and kattie posson
My name is Linda Dahle my great-gradmother was Catherine Posson Nasholtz Fullen. She was the daughter of Peter West Posson and Mary Bartholmew. Her siblings were Peter L., Ann Eliza, Nancy Jane,Lewis, Cornelia, Martha, Mary, andChester.She was born in Schoharie County NY in 1829. She married Washington Fullen, a Civil War veteran, in 1867 in Galena Illinois. They immediately moved west to Sioux City,Iowa, probably to lay claim to war bonus land grants given to veterans of the war. They had a son,my grandfather Harry in 1871. Her occupation in the Iowa census of 1885 was that of a milliner. She had a store and her husband was assistant sheriff. She also had a niece Kattie E. or P. Posson, age 23, making her birthdate around 1862, living with her at the time. Anyone know anything about these people.
Sincerely Linda Dahle
