--------------------------------------------

Following the death of Christine in 1910 at the age of 28, little if anything is known about the children. The daughter, Gladys, must have stayed in the Cedar Rapids area because she was married there in 1919. Of the 3 sons, things are a little bit more unknown. They probably were all sent to live with relatives of Christine but even her surname of Yetmar seems a little iffy. Her obituary mentions her mother's name as "Mrs. Hejl" but she might have been remarried.

They lived in a predominant Bohemian neighborhood and there are a few names of Wiley found in other families after her death but not enough to know for sure if they were the same children.

Arthur, on the other hand, moved to Colorado by 1930 and ended up in a gold mining town of Rollinsville in Gilpin County, Colorado. He died in 1940 and was buried next to Christine in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
