I have Lourina's death certificate. They have the name as Sourena instead of Lourena. They do not have her husband, mother, or father listed on certificate. I did find where Lourina and Franklin A. Dunbar were buried. They are both buried in Oakhill cemetery in Kirkwood, St. Louis County, MO. They do not have head stones but the cemetery showed me the records of their burial. I just flew home from Missouri, Illinois, and Texas after searching for records of my family. I did find the home in Kirkwood, MO where my dad and his parents lived. The address is listed on Louren's death certificate. Evelyn: bachand@jps.net

Kirkwood is a City within St. Louis County. Death cert should be requested from St.Louis County Vital Statistics, County Government Center, 7900 Forsyth, St.Louis, MO 63105.

Hello Friends: I came across this entry and thought, like the original sender, that it was worth passing on to other sites in hopes a relative of Civil War soldier Mark Crosby might see it. Judy Clark-Wick JWick@compuserve.com Resent-Sender: ANDERSONVILLE-L-request@rootsweb.com This was posted on another list. I have posted it here FYI. I would suggest that those of you who belong to other groups might pass it on. I would be devastated if I missed something like this regarding one of my ancestors. Subject: Mark Crosby Jr Discharge paper Civil War From: "Richard H. Greene" <rhunterg@ix.netcom.com> Subject: [Fwd: [OHMARION-L] Found: Original Civil War Discharge Paper] Date: Tue, 03 Nov 1998 14:39:24 -0800 I don't know how to get this posted nation-wide. But, I would like to see this original document returned to a member of the original family. My mother-in-law bought a picture frame at an estate sale in Tucson, AZ. When she took the picture out and removed the cardboard from behind it, a very delicate, old, and yellowed piece of paper fell out. This is a summary of what was written and readable on the paper: =========================================== Civil War Discharge Paper For: Mark CROSBY, Jr. Private, Company B, 16th Regiment Union Army >From Yarmouth, Massachussetts Entered service in 1860 and left service 1864 Marked Paid and signed by B. McCONNELL Description: 5 ft. 3 inches, gray eyes, dark curly hair. He was a clerk in the Union Army. Entered in the Auditors records on July 26, 1870 This document bears the Union Crest. ================================================= Help me post this for others to read. If you know someone who might be interested in this document, please E-Mail a reply to my inquiry. A life is not lost when it is known to future generations. Help me keep Mark CROSBY, Jr. alive for his family. Forward this message to anywhere you think might help. Happy Hunting! Nancy J. Smith n-smith1@ti.com

Is anyone on the list researching Madison County BOYDs or SLOCUMS around 1900 or earlier? Thanks, Kevin

I have not checked a website for DAR, but the address is National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Building 1720 d St. NW Washington, DC or call your local chamber of commerce or library for that information.

Does anyone on the Madison County list know of a DAR Chapter in the Collinsville area? Would also like the name & address of the Regent. I have s cousin wo recently moved to Collinsville & is interested in DAR membership. Sue in NY
