Hi Gang, I requested a lookup from a book called "Going Home" from Holt Co., Mo. I was hoping the Alfred Gentry I found was mine. He wasn't. So, I'm passing this information on to the list. I'm sure someone will find a use for it. take care, Norma > >>From the Holt County Death Notices is the following: > >GENTRY, Alfred -- died 15 May 1910 at his home near Oregon, Mo., aged >77.
