    1. [ILHANCOC] RE: Lucy Adelia Rhea Cameron Wade Sammons
    2. Hi Coleen, I have a little bit of additional information about Lucy and her 3rd husband, Jim Sammons. James and Lucy were married on 3 December, 1908, at Lancaster, Schuyler Co., Missouri by Reverend C[harles] Wesley Burnett who at this time would have been James' brother-in-law, married to James' sister, Mary. In 1916, Lucy submitted a "Declaration of a Widow for Accrued Pension" to request payment based on Jim's service in the Civil War. According to her request, Jim had died on Nov. 12, 1915, after a long and difficult illness. The above information is from the Sammons' webpage at: <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cramsey/index.html> I have further information on Jim, but it's in connection to his first wife, my great-great-grandaunt, Sarah Ellen Way, and his service in the Army. He is also listed in the 1880 Gregg History of Hancock County. Jim Sammons is buried in the Willis Cemetery in Hancock County, next to Sarah Ellen (died 1903, at Joetta), and, I believe, his mother, Ann Mariah Hays Sammons Pennington. I have their tombstones (along with most of the other tombstones in Willis Cemetery) pictured on my website: <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~majorville/> in the Hancock & McDonough Sites & Photos section.
