Cabarrus County} Justice Court
We the undersigned commissioners with J. F. Welleford a Justice of the peace for Cabarrus County after being duly sworn met on the premises of the late Levi Hinseman on the 14th day of Jany 1891 for the purpose of laying off a years support for his Widow Mrs. E. C. Hinseman and find the family to consist of the Widow--- and proceeded to allot the following articles of personal property with the value annexed.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Elizabeth Catherine (E. C.) Hinseman was alive and well on 14 January 1891 when these supplies were laid off for her support. But, nine years later in 1900 no trace of Elizabeth Catherine has been found. Her absence from the 1900 Census may mean that she passed away sometime between January 1891 and June 1900.
Her son, Adam N. Kees and his new wife, Adelaide Loretta are enumerated in 1900 Census. If Elizabeth Catherine, his mother, was in fact alive its most likely she would be found with her son and daughter-in-law.
