I'm not really sure why Lucy A. Covey has been listed as a widow. I never did hear that there were any problems between her and her husband. Am also surprised to find them out in Kansas, but that now answers the question of "why William Covey was found alone on the 1900 census in Knob Noster". Eula married in Kansas in 1904, so it looks like some of them may have followed James S. "Jinks" Covey out to Kansas when he worked for the railroad.
