SURNAME: POLITE / BROWN
Looking for information on a Henrietta Brown POLITE who died in
Elkhart on November 16, 1919. She was married to Joseph Polite
who preceded her in death in 1912. It is my understanding they
were residents of Toledo Ohio for 40 years following the end of
the Civil War. Although she died in Elkart she was buried in
Toledo Ohio. I believe she moved to Elkart after her husband
died. I am looking for any family connections that would have
brought her to Elkhart. Joseph and Henrietta were from Michigan
and married in Coldwater in 1865. A book on Michigan soldiers and
sailors in the Civil War indicated he lived in Elkhart for a time
after the Civil War. Two children Emery and Lydia(Ida) preceded
them in death, one adopted daughter named Estelle survived them.
