Her name was IDA MAE (RUSSELL) KINNEMAN- have seen this name spelled different ways.  She died on 3-4-1906, her death cert states convulsions-she died from child birth. Supposedly her husband had performed an abortion.  It went to trial the next year but he was not convicted, even though he confessed. I have the newspaper clippings, there was no trial transcript at that time I have been told. No one in my family ever mentioned this, and the ones still living never knew about it, I  only found this while working on my geneaology.  If anyone has any info related to this or something that might shed more light on it I would greatly appreciate it.
