What became of Zoe Boult?
« on: Friday 03 May 13 17:23 BST (UK) »
What became of Zoe Boult?  She was born in Ohio in 1867/8.  In 1880, she was called Zoe McDonald and was living with Chester and Jane Prouty in York, Medina County, Ohio; she had apparently been informally adopted by the Proutys.  Zoe married George Boult in about 1891.  In 1900, George and Zoe resided in Medina, Medina County, Ohio; they had no children.  By 1910, it seems that George and Zoe had divorced or separated - Zoe was still in Medina [listed as Bault, allegedly married but living alone] and George was out in Los Angeles [listed as divorced].  I can find no sign of Zoe after the 1910 census.

Thanks, Sandra, I hadn't seen those.  That certainly appears to be the correct Zoe.  I wonder how she wound up with the Proutys as a thirteen year-old?  I had presumed she was adopted by them but that doesn't seem to be precisely the case.  There are lots of leads to follow up.  Thanks.
