Daisy Blanche Lightfoot ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

from Jason Suibielski :
"Yes, I can help with location on Levi and Daisy, Levi Is buried in Lot 9 Row 15 Grave 44, it says he was buried 17 Jan 1900, age 83, for Daisy it says Lot 9 Row 16 Grave 43, buried 13 March 1905, age 22 years old. I do know that if they died in Omaha that the Douglas County Historical Society would have their death records and also other information which I can check out for you if you want, if you make it back here please call me at 402-991-9922 I will meet you at the cemetery and show you there graves, this section they are buried at is one of the oldest parts of the cemetery also was for the people that had little money, the only reason I ran across his name was because I'm trying to find all the Civil War Vets buried there, so far 40, possible 20 more, and Levi Lightfoot comes up as a possible but I don't think it is your Levi, he would have been too old, this cemetery as I said is very old and hardly anyone has family to help keep it nice, only me on a volunteer basis, I hope this helped a little once I find more I will let you know, what part of California you from, I was raised in Salinas, Ca. up by Monterey. Have a good night,...Jason"

Citing this Record
"Iowa, County Births, 1880-1935," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XVZD-X42 : 10 March 2018), Edna Orthway in entry for Blanche Lightfoot, 22 Dec 1882; citing Des Moines, Iowa, United States; county district courts, Iowa; FHL microfilm 956,346.

NOTE - Unless there were twin daughters named Daisy and Blanche, I am assuming the middle initial of Daisy stands for Blanche meaning that they are the same person. The only problem is that this birth record for Blanche Lightfoot gives a birth date of 22 Dec 1882 whereas the gravestone for Daisy says 23 Dec 1883. I suppose it is possible for them to be separate daughters.
