Individual Notes
• Prall says: “The above family in the Oskaloosa MM, Mahaska Co, IA. On Aug 31, 1882 and some of the younger children were granted a cert. to New Sharon MM, IA,” I don’t know where that is. Other dates for her and other family members are from then to 1904, as they moved from one MM to another. She was apparently in Nebraska for a time -- Spencer MM, NE, Nov. 4, 1891.2691, p 2
General
• “MM” -- that’s the Quaker abbreviation for “Monthly Meeting,” the term they used to mean their church, or their gathering place for worship. So Ann Maria was a Quaker.2691
