Hello - I would welcome any research suggestions relative to the following long-time residents of Monroe County. William Stone and Mary Davis, nee Duvall, were married shortly before 1860, and worked a farm near Columbia, Monroe County. Each had been a resident of Monroe County for at least ten years prior to the marriage. Unfortunately, the county has neither a record of their marriage, nor of their respective deaths: Mary's in 1872, and William's ca 1901. The farm/residence apparently was near Centerville, St. Clair Co., as the 1860 census shows the family living at TINR10W, P.O. Centerville; and the census of 1870 also shows the family at Centerville. Evenso, the census' for 1880 and 1900 show the family residing at Columbia, Monroe Co., As noted above, Mary died in 1872, and William Stone died at home, of a heart attack ca 1901, after running to assist a neighbor put out a fire. Apparently neither death was recorded, as the St. Clair and Monroe county clerks have no record of the events. Given the above story, I wonder if the library at Waterloo maintains an newspaper/obituary index similar to that maintained by the Belleville library? In addition, does anyone know what TINR10W meant, when it was listed at the top of the 1860 census sheet? Any related comments would be most welcome Tom Davis Oceanside, CA
