What happened to Addie Spurgeon?

This is a Byfield descendant that I come back to now and then. 

Eighteen year old Hattie Imel, daughter of Julia Ann Byfield and Peche Harrison Imel, married Oscar C Spurgeon in Coffey County, Kansas. They had a daughter, Addie, in 1876. By 1878 Hattie and Oscar had divorced and Hattie had remarried.  

Four year old Addie is found in the 1880 census with her mother, Hattie, and her new step-father, George Gilbert Holmes.  That's the last record that I can find.

I'm sure Addie must have married in the 20 years before the next census in 1900 but, I have no clues to go on.  Do any of you Kansas Imels or maybe Holmeses have some information about Addie?

This is my entire listing for Addie:

15311. Addie Spurgeon. (Harriett B "Hattie" Imel-4; Julia Ann Byfield-3; Massia Byfield-2; Abraham H. Byfield-1)
Daughter of Oscar C Spurgeon and Harriett B "Hattie" Imel. Born about 1876 in Kansas. Died _____________ in _____________.
