During a recent trip to Southwestern Missouri, specifically to Walnut Grove, Joplin, and Webb City, I took pictures of a couple gravestones in the Walnut Grove Cemetery: S. Alford Edmonson, Mar 5, 1833 - Dec 22, 1904; and Louisa, his wife, June 12, 1834 - Apr 17, 1920. My great-great-grandparents Cyrus and Louisa Edmundson's daughter Julia married my great-grandfather George Devoe on 18 Apr 1872, and died 6 Oct 1894, so I was hoping there might be a thread. That's all the information I have at this point, but thought maybe someone on the EDM list might connect. Betty Devoe Lynch

Dear Betty Here is what I have on S. Alford Edmonson and Louisa. There is quite a bit of messing with the spelling of the last name here.
