Gene,

I just checked IL and CA for mention of Susan Reid. There were a couple more CA papers with the same 19 May 1897 story I have here. The 23 May 1897 San Francisco Call story also includes a drawing of Susan. The 30 Jun 1897 clip from the Dixon Evening Telegraph, IL has more information.

The SF Call story was too hard to read so I made 2 clippings.

I just added one more clipping with a little more insight. The same story was in a 28 May 1897 Oregon newspaper, but I already had this one saved. The Mrs Susan (Reid) Boyce newsclips are all over the place in 1897, even in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, so the information was pretty common knowledge, after May 1897. Not finding anything earlier with a quick check. I did see a clip that indicated Susan died in Napa Co., CA in 1900.

Final 2 clips added. One is Feb 1897 notification for Widow of Indian Wars pension, which she mentions in the other clips. Also, 7 Dec 1900 is notice of probate for her estate. She had some small real estate transactions in Calistoga, Napa, CA during the 1880's, but I didn't save them.
