52 Ancestors Biography- Mary Bostick


Mary Bostick- my 2nd great-grandmother.

Mary was born on 21 Aug 1848 in Kentucky to Miles Bostick (b. 1812) & Margaret Francerider (1827-1906).  Early sources when I first started researching several years ago always referred to her as Mary Ann, but I recently found her burial and death certificate and it states: Mary E. 

She was the 3rd child out of 7 children:

1. John Bostick (b. 1844)
2. Sarah Elizabeth Bostick (1845-1917)
3. Nancy Bostick (b. 1852)
4. Jane Bostick (b. 1855)
5. Alice Bostick (b. 1856)
6. Miles Bostick Jr. (b. 1860)

Mary married Isaac Hendricks (1843-1918) on 02 Jan 1867 in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Census records show Mary having had 8 children total, but only 4 living- I have yet to find out when she had these other 4 children and when they passed. They also showed that Mary worked as a seamstress. 

Children of Mary & Isaac: 

1. William Henry (1868-1941)
2. John T. (1869-1945)
3. Anna (1874-1935)
4. Isaac Jr. (1883-1942)

Mary died on 17 May 1920 at the age of 71. Her cause of death sounds complicated- Cerebral Apoplexy- described online as "a sudden disease caused by spontaneous, endogenic, non-inflammatory circulatory disturbances involving cerebral blood vessels". She was laid to rest in the Sellersburg Cemetery in Sellersburg, Indiana.
