September 29, 2011 Mrs. Thelma Blacketer The Commercial-News Thu Sep 29, 2011, 01:00 AM CDT ROBINSON - Mrs. Thelma Blacketer, 98, of Robinson, formerly of Danville, passed to eternal refreshment in the paradise of God on Monday, Sept. 26, 2011, at the Crawford County Convalescent Center, Robinson. She was born Aug. 12, 1913, in West Frankfort to Lyle Commodore and Anna Nora (Hungate) Reed. She attended school in Benton. In 1933, she married the Rev. Venice E. Blacketer who preceded her in death in January 1967. Thelma was also preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Claude Reed; and a sister, Madge Frailey. Surviving Mrs. Blacketer are a son, Robert L.

Also surviving are five great-grandchildren, Christine and Christopher Thompson, Samantha Jerrell, Alex Taylor and Robert V. Blacketer.

Betty, Was Mary Ann married to James M. ATCHISON as well? She is the d/o of Charles Mills COCKRUM and Naomi BROWN, correct? Kay In a message dated 3/11/2013 9:53:35 P.M. Central Daylight Time, elvis500@frontier.com writes: MARY ANN COCKRUM 1856-1930

Pat, Those family stories can be difficult to verify, There are a few in my family lines where the individual just disappeared, but in one family line an individual was found by his ancestors in census records. Of course he was long dead then. Apparently he had left his family in Franklin County, but was found in another county, with a completely new family.

Pat I'm sorry if this has already been discussed but I am confused. I see this marriage for Charles M. Cockrum (2nd marriage I assume since he was previously married to Naomi Brown d/o of Stephen A. Brown and Elizabeth "Betsy" Spoon) I see the following marriage: COCKRAM, CHARLES M PLASTERS, AMANDA 1861-08-16 003 0304 FRANKLIN which seems to be supported by census records in 1870 and 1880 FCI. There appears to be another Amanda Plasters about the same age that married Singleton M. Varner in FCI: VARNER, SINGLETON M PLASTERS, AMANDA C 1863-04-08 003 0401 FRANKLIN Do you know who the parents are of the Amanda Plasters that married Charles Mills Cockrum? I see an Amanda Plasters in 1860 census living in the home of GIlbert Sweetin and wife Minerva and two kids. No other Amanda Plasters can be found in 1860. No Amanda Plasters can be found in 1850 census but I can find Caroline Plasters living with her mother Catharine Plasters and siblings.

Looking to verify that Margaret L. Klevgard (17 Dec 1915 - 1 Mar 2001) is buried at Brady cemetery.

Pat, he had been acting odd and crazy for at least  2 days. He is fine and his usual "I'd rather sleep leave me alone" thing now. I have noticed dogs act strange too. After raising Harriers and Beagles more than half of my life, you also learn by watching them.
