Shirley I have been working on her for some time now and won't give up. I checked at the county clerk's office and they have no record of her and so far haven't ran across her in any of my cemeteries. but still have a lot that I ahven't gotten off the recorder and onto paper. My hubby is having laser surgery in the morning and then he is having a cornea transplant next Wednesday on the same eye so the 2 days we are in St. Louis I plan on transcribing as many as I can. Also I will make a run out to the Odin cemetery tomorrow afternoon after his cardiac rehab and see if I can find out anything. Don't give up, we will find her come H_ _ l or high water. I have been looking for her for so long for you I feel like she is one of mine and never fail to look for her when I am researching. If she doesn't have a stone though it may be a bit more dificult but will see if I can find out who has the records for there and ask them.

Cousin Mary I never even thought of doing that but it sounds like a wonderful idea especially around Memorial Day. I would imagine that is when these were left there but Leann and I both thought it would be a good thing to try and find who they belonged to. If I took the trouble to put them out like that I would sure want someone to notify me. Oh well story of my life goofed again. LOL To bad someone didn't reply to you.

I know there is an ALLISON Street in Centralia. I will be returning to search for the requested surnames I read in emails tomorrow. Hope I can help some of you. Sincerely, Brenda
Diane I too feel the same way and would never ahve taken them home if I knew what a ruckus it was going to cause. My cousin and I were out there and if they ahd not been picked up where they were laying they would surely have been mowed into shreds. The area where they were it was impossible to know whom they belonged to and as she had done it once before we thought it might be nice to maybe find out who they belonged to and they could return them to the grave and secure them more securely. It was never my (our) intention to desecrate a grave just trying to be helpful. But truthfully, I am sorry we didn't just leave them lay or I hadn't said anything about it.

*** Marion Brimberry has entrusted me with a folder of Civil War letters by William A. Smith and has asked me to type one letter every day or so and post it to this newsgroup. I have typed the letter true to the spelling and grammar of the letters in my possession. If I add any errors of my own, please forgive me. David Thomson *** Camp near New Madrid, Missouri Monday eve. March 17th, 1862 My Dear Wife:- I fear you are anxiously looking for letters from me and receiving none. Not that I do not write, for I have wrote to you three letters since I have been here, but it is reported here that our letters are detained at Commerce, Cape Girardeau and Cairo, and if that is the case, I am sure you are very uneasy about me. I think one of our men by the name of Sidwall will be discharged tomorrow. If so I will send this letter by him and you will be sure to get it, as he will either take it to Patoka or mail it somewhere along the line. I have received one letter from John Foster since I have been here and sent him an answer, but if you do not get your letters, he will not get that. I have wrote several notes to the neighbors so that you might possibly by that means hear from me. I am now looking for a big letter from you by every mail, for I wrote you from Cape Girardeau by Mrs. R.F. Young and then again from Commerce, with the word not to write to me till you heard me telling you where to direct to. So I will expect an answer to all three at once and I suppose it will make quite a large letter which I hope to get soon. I see by the latest papers that we have, that our forces have gained a splendid victory in Arkansas, also that Manassas has been evacuated and burned, that our forces have been doing well upon the coast of Florida. Surely the war cannot last very much longer. The enemy may possibly collect at some inaccessible spot and give us a great deal of trouble. They will certainly make a grand stand at the much boasted stronghold of Memphis, which place I now think will be our next place of attack. There is yet some room for a flight in this neighborhood for when the rebels evacuated Columbus, the second Manassas as they proudly termed Columbus, they dropped down to Island No. 10 where they are making a stand and there is no telling how long they will be there before we can overcome them, as there can be nothing done except with heavy cannon and we can only come at them from the upper river. So they can make all their defence at that point. I do hope however to yet be able to announce in this letter the arrival of our gunboats at New Madrid. I have never yet been down in town. Jack Foster and Clay and John Hamilton have been there with General Stanley, they being part of his bodyguard. There was not any person at all left in the place, neither citizen or soldier. They destroyed an immense amount of their property before they left and they threw a great many of their cannon in the river, which our men are busy getting out. They have succeeded in raising enough to make the whole number now in our possession from capture, 64. Major Applington yesterday evening joined our Regiment with the Third Battalion of our Regiment. They have been at Birds Point till now. There is still one company of our Regiment at Cape Girardeau. If they was here now our whole Regiment would be together once more. Captain Ghalegar lost two of his men killed at Charleston, Missouri while they was scouting as they came here. There is accidents happening here every day. There has been one man killed and several wounded by the explosion of the bomb shells that have been picked up after they was thrown at us. Then there is occasionally one gets shot by the accidental discharge of guns and pistols and it is a matter of wonder to me that there is not more shot than there is, there being so many that are careless in the handling of their arms. It is now night and there has been a heavy cannonading going on for some time up at Island no. 10 and still continues. The firing is certainly the heaviest that I have ever heard. It is about twelve miles from here and the shocks are quite heavy. I do hope that the morning the Rebels may be completely whipped out and give it up there. As it was your request some time ago, for me to be vaccinated, I will have it done in a day or two. I applied to the Surgeon at the hospital a few days ago to get it done and he had no vaccine but said he would have some in a few days and would do it for me. I should have had it done during the winter, but it would have been troublesome for me to bundle myself up on our scouts. There is none of our Company now in the hospital and but few of the Regiment. I rather think that gunpowder and exercise makes healthy soldiers. Foster Moon is improving in health. The rest of the boys are all well. F.W. Arnold is till driving a team. The rest of the boys are lamming around at their regular duties. We are again drilling every day, two or three hours, then we have Dress Parade almost every day. I wrote to you and to John Foster to have the Salem Advocate stopped unless they would direct it to the Regiment as well as the Company, so that I can get it, which I hope you will get him to see to at once. I think we will be paid off again in a few days, but I do not know how we will manage about sending our money home. If I can do no better I think I will risk sending you a few dollars in a letter, if we should be paid off soon. I would be very glad to be at home but do not now expect to very soon, unless there should be a great change in the military affairs of this world very soon. I hope however that you will make the best of your situation and try to be of a good cheer as you possibly can in the hope that Peace may soon be restored to our once happy country, and that we may soon all be able to return to our families to enjoy the Peace that will be the better enjoyed in consequence of having assisted in a very small degree to establish it. Oh! My God, with what shame ought the faces of our quasi Union neighbors to burn, but shame is no part of their natures, or they would have died of shame years ago. My sentiments towards such is well known to all the neighborhood, so that there is a very little use for me to withhold my opinion of them, even if I desire to do so. My prayer is that all traitors at home and abroad may soon see the error of their ways and repent, lest the proper judgement overtake them before they are aware that they are spotted by the authorities of this, the United States. Such are to be pitied. How is it now there with these that thought that the Northern men would not fight. Are they still of the same opinion, and can one Southern man still whip five Northern men. They are certainly bound to acknowledge in all truth and candor that they was mistaken for once. What do they think of the Southern men that abandon their forts without even the show of a fight. I hope you will send the children to school all the time that you can and try to encourage them to obey you. There is a great deal depends upon their minding you. Tell Diora that I want her to try to see how soon she can learn to write me a letter. Tell Byron that he must learn to read so that I can get him a paper with pictures in it, and while I think of it I want you to have the Circuit Preacher continue Dioras paper and I will send you the money to pay him. Tell M. Hester that when Pa comes home he will bring her a nice little book. Tell W. Scott and Rollin what you think best. Tell Delila that she must come to see me this summer. And tell Mrs. Mray Smith for me that I will come to see her as soon as circumstances will permit and this one, without omitting anything, and the next and all the rest and if there is anything that I neglect to write about, if she will just tell me what it is, I will try to do better. Tell her to direct till further ordered, to New Madrid, Missouri. And tell her further, that the bugles are now sounding tattoo, which is a hint to go to bed and further tell her that this sheet of paper is ruined and that I know she is sleepy, so I had better not bother her any more tonight. Wishing you all a good nights sleep and pleasant dreams, I bid you good bye. William A. Smith

Hi Sandy: I have looked for one of my relatives for 15 years and still unable to find a grave I know that she died and is buried in and around Odin . Salem Marion County . I have narrowed her death down to 1900-1910. Her name was Nancy Ann Alexander and she was born 1822 . She was living with her daughter Nancy Ferguson in 1900 census. I have checked all the records but she died before they required to record them. I was wondering could you check the cemeteries that you have . I think that she did not have a stone on her grave. . If only I could get where she is buried Maybe I could find a family member that purchased the grave... I really hope that some one could help me... This lady is my only connection to the BREWERs family line. I don't know what happened to her first husband ?

Nice to see some activity on this site. With interest stirring I would like to repost my interest in Salem, Marion County, IL. I have a John Allison who was in Salem in August 1865. I think he was only there during the year 1865. Family story says the children attended school there. His brother Hugh Lawson White Allison sent him a money order from Chattanooga TN to Salem. The money order was $250.00 dated August 28, 1865. Have no idea why, perhaps to move back home to Dade County GA or to head south thru MO (probably Lawrence County MO), then to Franklin County AR and finally to TX. Since he was there between census, it is hard to tract him. As he moved and was recorded on census, he was most often than not with family in a particular county. So I wonder if family was in Salem also. He was John Allison and he married Mary Elizabeth Wakefield of Dade County GA. Related names to this line are: Sutton, Jones, Cartwright, Adams, Coppinger, Bryant, Wheeler, Pennington, McGehee. I live in TX so little chance of visiting Marion County. thanks.... Gil
There are three marriages for David Hanna listed in Marion County in the IL marriage database: David Hanna to Mary Howell 8/12/1858 David R Hanna to Mrs. Mary A. Tate, 12/5/1872 David R Hanna to Mrs. Mary L. Williams, 3/14/1877 (this one is probably Cathy's great grandmother) At least David never had to worry about calling a wife by his former wife's name as they were all three named Mary.

Hi to all you wonderful people that offer to do look ups. I have a "very big brick wall" and I would be so very appreciative if someone could help. My great grandmother Mary Lourene LANDRUM b.1832 in TN moved to Fayette County and later to Marion Co. along with her parents. (possibly Mary and John?) Mary Lourene married Thomas C. WILLIAMS in 1850 and after he died she married David HANNA in 1877 in Marion County. I have never been able to find any trace of any LANDRUMs in Marion County. Are there any in the cemeteries? Thank you so much for any help...I've been on this search for 10 years.

I am not sure when all of the cemetery books came out. I made an inquiry several years ago about the surname Dougherty, especially Thomas and Honorah, who would probably be buried in a Catholic cemetery. Any chance there is some new information published in my area of interest?
I have not received a copy of "Footprints" for sometime I just now realized this fact. What has happened to the group who writes this wonderful genealogy report? I don't ever remember receiving a bill. Jo Ann Fairbanks Gile jagile@casstel.net Genealogy Web-Site www.casstel.net/~jagile/ God Bless America and Israel
When I first got into this crazy addition/hobby, and visited my first cemetery in TN, I think, I took a plastic zip locks with a family group sheet (filled out) with my name and address and left it on the grave. Didn't get any response -- I had hoped someone else might be visitig the grave and I could make a connection with the living-- didn't work! Sounded like a good idea to me... Cousin Mary in OK
Sandy, and others on the list. This is a long shot but thought that I would take a chance and ask anyway. I asked Dot for a look up for a Knob cem in Marion Co., Ill. But she said that there is no cem by that name in Marion Co. I have been wondering if it may be a very old one and one that not many people know about now. It may be on private land. Has any one ever heard of a Knob cem there in Marion?

I would appreciate that. If it was in the "Footprints" I must have missed it. I do not have any of the cemetary books but do have "Brinkerhoff's History of Marion County". Thank you!
