Peche Harrison Imel (husband of both Julia Ann Byfield and Jeanette Byfield) and his father Henry Imel moved from Illinois to the area around Leroy in Coffey County, Kansas sometime in the late 1860s.
The mortality schedule for the 1870 census lists Peche's father, Henry Imel (listed as Emil) as having died of old age in February of 1870 at the age of 88 which would put his birth year at around 1782. He was born in Virginia. He is listed as married so it's possible his wife is still in the area in 1870.
Louis Imel (listed as Emil) died in April of 1870 of "intermittent fever" and is listed as one year old so his birth year was around 1869. This is probably the twin brother to Louisa Imel, daughter of Peche Imel and Julia Ann Byfield. There is a stone for Louis in the Veteto Cemetery near Leroy, Kansas.
Mary Imel, another daughter of Peche Imel and Julia Ann Byfield, died in February of 1870 of "brain fever". She was born about 1865 in Illinois. She is also buried in the Veteto Cemetery.
