Leona said that Mary had a brother John who went to Colorado and was never heard from again.  John Resdan lived near his family until at least the 1900 census.  I can't find him in the 1910 census.   But seems to have moved to CA with families related to his wife.

Maybe this is John Resdan Brickey's wife because her Wilson relatives are buried there too.
