Does anyone know which school and where it would have been located. I was sent the following query can anyone help? Sharon "I attended a one room school house for first and second grade. It was in the Waterloo School district. This would have been about 1953-54. My teacher was Mrs. Whitecamp. My parents had a farm on Keim Road. Do you know where the school was located?

Thank you Janet. Their religion was Evangelical and all but one of their children were baptised at Zoar Church New Hanover. My wife's grfather Henry Jr. was baptised at Deer Hill Church Harrisonville. Maybe Wilhelmine was buried on the farm where they lived? Do you know if the Monroe Co Clerk would have a death cert and if so, the cost. I can write to that office or whichever one might have the certificate and send a check.
