Listed a Liona Geddis in the Birth and Christening records.
Her Aunt, Elma Gaddes (50, OH) was living with them in the 1900 census.
Her obituary in the Friday May 16, 1902 issue of the Bellville Messenger (microfilm at Mansfield Ohio Genealogical Society) has a worn fold line right where it might say her cause of death. It appears to read that she died after an illness of 7 days, at age 29, leaving her husband and two young children. The services were held at her home by Rev. G.W.H. Smith of Lexington before burial in Bellville Cemetery.
