♦♦♦ Possible maiden names ♦♦♦
Wheeler (Shown on New York marriage index)
Ryerson (Shown on Grand Rapids City Cemeteries database)

Cook County Death index shows "R" as middle initial. In addition, the 1870 US Census also shows her middle initial as "R" - leading me to believe that Ryerson is her maiden name and she might have been previously married to someone with the surname of Wheeler.

Sophronia's mother was Antje Ann Ryerson

♦♦♦ Burial record states services took place on 12/25/1888, but Cook County, Illinois records state that she died on 12/26/1888, further investigation is necessary. She listed as Mrs. S. R. Bevier on Cook County death index ♦♦♦
