In regards to Frederick Dunagan:
ReplyDeleteBy 1880 we discover that Frederick has not only changed professions but has also divorced. He has made his home in Hornet and Little Salmon Valley, Washington, Idaho. His profession is now listed a singing teacher. The facts can be found in the 1880 federal census records. I have found no evidence that Frederick ever remarried after his divorce from Louisa Augustus Kerbow Dunagan. He died in 1907 in Baker, Idaho.
