Misc. Notes
Savan married Joe Bowles in Iowa. They moved to Idaho where they spent their entire lives. At one time their address was Harpster, Idaho.
My father received a letter from Savan dated September 7, 1915, it was postmarked Kamish, Idaho.* This is east of Lewiston about 80 miles.
I had hoped to find some trace of the family through her sister, Minnie Powell Kinkaid. But she informed me that she had not heard in years. In fact her last letter to the wife of one of the son’s came back marked, deceased. This is the only one Minnie had been in contact for some time.

I'm curious as to why [Savannah’s parents] moved so far away too. Maybe they knew someone who was already there. I did discover that Savannah's family was living in Decatur Co, Kansas according to the 1880 census, with four children who were all born in Iowa, so they didn't move right away or directly to Idaho.
2705*The compiler was unable to find any reference on the Internet to any present-day Kamish, although it did apparently at one time exist.
