    2. Edwina B. Owen
    3. I have an obituary published July 31 or August 1. 1898 for an Aurelia N. Miller in either the Morning Call or the Evening Call. Where published? It states that Aurelia N. Miller, a native of Switzerland was born in 1828, and died July 31, 1898. That she moved to this city??? in 1852 from Monticello, FLORIDA. Services were held at the Church of the Holy Family by Rev. Father Shadewell and internment was in Linwood Cemetery. Also, that she was the aunt of J.H. Busbey of the Call Publishing Company. Also, I have what appears to be a Catholic Mass Notice for a Mary Anna Busbey, a native of France, who departed this life December 25, 1874 at the age of 52 years. In the Oakland Cemetery , Shreveport, Caddo Parish, LA their is a footstone for M. A. Busbey d.o.b. August 28, 1824, d.o.d. December 25, 1874. Next to this footstone is one for J. H. Busbey, d.o.b. June 28, 1814, d.o.d. June 30, 1854. Another Catholic Mass Notice found in the Busbey Family Bible: "In Sacred Memory of Mary Anna Miller (maybe spelled Millor) a native of France, who departed this life April 13th, 1848. Aged 57 years, 5 months, 27 days. I believe that Mary Anna Miller, was the mother of Mary Ann Busbey and Aurelia N. Miller. If so, then Mary Anna Busbey was the wife of J. H. Busbey (all I have are initials) and they had the following children: Thomas Jefferson Busbey, d.o.b. April 10, 1852 in Covington, St. Tammany Parish, LA. d.o.d. July 12, 1925 in Shreveport, Caddo, LA. m. to Virgina "Jennie" Deal.in Shreveport, LA Joseph Leon Busbey d.o.b. March 30, 1849in ? d.o.b. Sptember 28, 1908.m. to Mae Pobst in Shreveport, LA William H. Busbey, d.o.b. May 29, 1853 in ? d.o.d. September 5, 1926 in Shreveport, Caddo, LA and I think a Hamilton Busbey d.o.b. ? in ? d.o.d. in(who supposedly died either in a Pressman's Home in Pressmans Home, TN. Can anyone help me document the Millers' connection to J. H. Busbey and help me find the location of "The Morning or Evening Call"? Also, what county is Monticello, FL in.? I have more info on the descendants of Thomas, Joseph and William. Thanks for anything that may help. Edwina edwina.owen@usa.net
