Ellen Phillips - b. Nov 27, 1898, Lewis, Pottawattamie Co., IA; d. bef 1910. Only appears in the 1900 Census and in the Birth Index for Iowa. Unable to locate death or burial records.

Clinton A Phillips - b. Jun - Aug 1900 ; d. Aug 3, 1902, IA. Buried at Lewis Township Cemetery, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., IA. Child was 2 years old. Census for family was taken Jul 11, 1900. Therefore to be 2 years old, he had to be born between Jun 11, 1900 and Aug 3, 1900.

Vernie or other Phillips - Aug 27, 1903, Crescent, Harrison Co., IA -- other date for Vernie in Iowa birth index.

Possibilities:

1) Iowa Index has wrong date

2) Aug 27, 1903 is actually Vernie's birth date, not the Jul 25, 1904 date, even though there is a delayed birth certificate. With so many children, there is the possibility that Jul 25, 1904 is just wrong. The 1910 Census is exactly correct for all of the other children for May of 1910. Since Vernie's birth day is in Jul/Aug, he is not yet 7 years old, which would mean his birth year was in fact 1903. The 1905 Iowa Census also backs this up. In this Census, he is 2 years old, which means he was born in 1903, not 1904. Same for the 1915 Iowa Census where he is 12 years old.

3) There were 4 other children who died young. Is this the original Vernie who died young and Vernie Charles who was born the following year was given the same name??? Or visa versa?

Obituary for Mrs W H Vanscoy
Onawa Democrat, Mar 4, 1929

Mrs. W. H. Vanscoy Passed Away Late Sunday Evening At Her Home after Suffering A Severe Paralytic Stroke and Lapsed into Unconsciousness From Which She Did Not Recover�Funeral Was Held on Tuesday Afternoon�Was a Much Honored Women.

The entire community and county were shocked Monday when the news went out that Mrs. W. H. Vanscoy had passed away suddenly late Sunday evening. On Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Vanscoy suffered a paralytic stroke and lapsed into unconsciousness, The end came peacefully that evening. Everything that medical skill and tended hands could do was offered in a vain attempt to save her life. Mrs. Vanscoy had been suffering from the flu intermittently for a week or 10 days and in her weakened condition she was un able to withstand the shock of the stoke.

Mamie Carmody was born August 13, 1885 in Sherman township being the daughter of James and Elizabeth Carmody, old pioneers of the county. She grew up and attended the public schools and took an active part in her girlhood in the affairs of the community.

On June 28, 1906 she was united in marriage to William H. Vanscoy. To this union 3 children were born. They are Elizabeth, Carmody, and Kathryn Jean, who all survive and a brother, Charles Carmody of Seattle, Wash.

Mrs. Vanscoy was a member of the Congregational Church of Blencoe, Ladies Aid Society and being, also Oracle of the Royal Neighbors and Noble Grand of the Rebekahs.

Funeral services were held from the home on Tuesday afternoon in charge of Rev. G,. H. Croker of Whiting an old friend of the family. Burial was made in Graceland Cemetery.

Mrs. Vanscoy had been identified with the lodges of the community for nearly 20 years. Under her guidance the Royal Neighbor lodge grew fro a small membership to one of the largest in the county. Largely through her indomitable spirit and persistence the lodge was brought through many a lean year. She gave much of her time to lodge work. She was also head of the Rebekah order and contributed much to its accomplishments.

It will always be remembered that she saw to it each year that a flag was placed on the grave of every departed soldier on Decoration day.

Passing away at the early age of 43 years, 7 months and 4 days she accomplished as much as many people do in a long life's span. In her early life, Mrs. Vanscoy's singing was always in demand at every funeral and every occasion where music was needed.

Obituary for W H Van Scoy
Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil, May 16, 1944, pg 7

W H Van Scoy, 67, a native of Council Bluffs and for many years a resident of Blencoe, dies Sunday morning at a Council Bluffs nursing home following a six months' illness.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Hazel Van Scoy of Los Angeles, Calif, two daughters, Mrs. Charles Bevington and Mrs. Jean Paulsen of Council Bluffs and a son Carmody Van Scoy of Cicero, Ill.

The body was taken to the N C Gray funeral home at Blencoe. Funeral services will be held at Blencoe, Wednesday at 2 p m. Burial will be there.

Wife Hazel???? - In the obituary above, it mentions a wife named Hazel living in Los Angeles. A quick look in the city directories for a Hazel Vanscoy is unsuccessful. Not sure if this marriage was real or not. In both the 1930 and 1940 Census, he is a widow. In 1942, the WWII Registration names his youngest daughter as emergency contact.

Even though James was the child of Monroe and Mary Jane Phillips, I am still related to James because of the Vanscoy family. James Arlington Vanscoy is a distant Vanscoy cousin. Ellis Hixon Vanscoy, father of Monroe, was my 3rd great granduncle. Brother to my 3rd great grandfather William Vanscoy who married Sarah Hart. Therefore, I am including his information below.

Obituary for James A Vanscoy
Tampa Bay Times, St. Petersburg, Florida, Sun, May 30, 1982 pg 43

VANSCOY, JAMES A., 95, of 4927 39th Ave. N, died Tuesday (May 25[24], 1982). Born in Iowa, he came here in 1969 from Webster, Wis. and was a retired miller. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Wisconsin.

Survivors include a son Chester, St. Petersburg; two daughters, Audrey Anderson, Concord, Calif., and Helen Smith, Antler, N. D.; five grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and several great-great-grandchildren. The Palms Memorial Funeral Home

Of note on the obituary: Daughter Helen Smith was his step-daughter and she had the 5 children from her first marriage to William Joseph O'Brien. Daughter Audrey was also adopted. James Arlington Vanscoy's only blood heir was his son Chester James Vanscoy, who did not have any children. BUT I do also question whether Chester was actually his son, Chester was born in 1913. James and Grace did not marry until 1915. They could have very well been together when Chester was born. Chester was born in Papillion, NE. The family did have ties in this area around Omaha, NE.

As mentioned above....I do question whether Chester was actually his blood son. Chester was born in 1913, his parents married in 1915. However, all the records indicate Chester was James' son.
