He was 24 years, 6 months and 1 day of age, and had spent all his life in Pike County, having moved to Griggsville last January. He was married to Grace Scott of Griggsville, March 12, 1917, one child being born of this union, Katherine Maxine, six months old. Deceased had been a member of the Christian Church for eight years and was faithful to his church vows. He was a kind and loving husband and father and was courteous and gentlemanly to all who knew him, it is believed that he did not have an enemy. It is hard to give you up, dear husband but we are reconciled by knowing the dear Lord doeth all things well. Virgil was confined to his bed only two weeks, and all that loving hands and medical skill could do was done to allevaite his sufferings and bring him back to health, but to no avail. It was hoped that his youthful vigor would be strong enough to ward off the fatal stroke, but alas for weak human hopes. It was not to be. The fatal messenger had been sent forth and the decree of God could not be recalled by any human agency. All that tender nursing could do was done and when the end quietly came he sank peacefully to rest. He leaves to deeply mourn his loss his loving wife and baby who will miss his loving kindness more and more as the days go by. Also his mother, Mrs. James Billings of Pittsfield, two sisters, Mrs. Bert Ellis of El Dara and Mrs. C.E. Pickup of Springfield and his brother Arthur of Pittsfield, Freddie of Peoria and a half brother Lonnie, who i! s in Camp Sheridan, Alabama, besides a host of friends. His father preceded him to the better world, Nov. 18,1894. Funeral services were held at the grave Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock conducted by Rev. J.D. Dabney of El Dara, assisted by Rev. Cannon of Martinburg. Interment was in the West Cemetery at Pittsfield. Pall bears were Stanley McKinney, Herman Wilson, Lester King, Luke Little, James Knapp, Earcil Little

I found you when I did a search on Ancestry.com for Malinda Noyer and your James Hull query came up. I have been doing a study of the family of Peter Noyer (b:1770s) PA. His eldest son Isaac Noyer is my line. Peter also had a son Peter S. Noyer--younger brother to my Isaac. Peter S. Noyer I is the father of Peter S. Noyer II that married Delilah May. In other words Peter S. Noyer (II) was nephew of my Isaac Noyer. Have I confused you yet... I have been trying to follow all of Isaac's 10 siblings. I do have additional information regarding Peter S. Noyer I and some regarding Peter S. II. The divorce information for Malinda and John Hull came from the WA state archives.

Good idea as I have done this. I also take some good strong nylon cord, wrap the end of the plastic zip lock seal bag (with my Gen. info of name E mail and ph # ( at least a dozen copies) inside. and tape it around the cord. I use a large enough bag so the front of the page can show. Then the bottom of the bag can be unzipped and remove 1 sheet and zip back leaving for the next person. Can also put a ballon or two on the cord to attract attention. I then if an old above ground stone, I wrap the cord around it and tie securely tight. Hang so the bag shows the front of the sheet of paper with info showing to see. If not a above ground stone, I take some good strong waterproof tape and tape to stone after cleaning with a brush for the tape. OR Can also take a good bamboo stake ( can be bought in garden stores for use in gardens), and stick in ground along side top edge of ground stone with a balloon attatched. and tape end of bag same as above so bottom can be unzipped etc. I also have had contact with someone who has visited even several months after.

Now with Memorial Day coming perhaps, it might be a good time to tell everyone. On or about Memorial Day, when you visit your family graves, why not take a plastic bag that contains your name and where any other relative might find you ie: name, number, or email address. Put it on the stone with a stone or poke it into the dirt with a stick. In some cemeteries this may not work but in the really old ones you might be surprised. Who knows you might find a long lost cousin who has the photo's, family Bible and all the really 'good' stuff.

July 16, 1880: "William Brown, Sr., of Quincy, Dies While En Route to Europe. Advices were received by the family of Wm. Brown, Sr., of Quincy, last Monday evening, announcing his sudden and unexpected death aboard ship within two days' voyage of his destination, Paisley, Scotland, on the 8th inst. Mr. Brown was an uncle of ours, and has numerous relatives and friends in this vicinity who will hail the intelligence of his death with deep regret. He was one of the pioneers of Quincy, and has been identified with almost every movement tending to upbuild that city. For the past twenty-five years he has been successfully engaged in the bakery and confectionery business, having built up a large trade in the surrounding country. He leaves a wife, five sons and one daughter to mourn his sudden demise. His remains were buried at sea. Speaking of his death, the Daily News of Tuesday says: A dispatch was received last evening about 6 o'clock from a port in England announcing the death of Wm. Brown. The news was a shock to the city and a doubly heavy sorrow to his family and friends, occurring as it did, on board the steamship conveying him to England, and where none of his family were at hand. For many months past Mr. Brown's physician had urged a season of rest from his incessant work, and finally, the necessity becoming apparent, he had consented to leave the business at which he had steadily and successfully toiled for nearly half a century, and three weeks ago took passage for New York and thence for England and Scotland, to revisit his native home and recuperate his failing health. There was no thought of a dangerous or even very serious nature of his case, except that the rest was imperative, hence the news cabled to the city last evening was as sudden as sorrowful. Honored by all, his death came to his friends like a general calamity. The deceased ! was in company with Rev. Waller, and sailed on the steamer Georgia, death occurring on the 8th inst., two days before the ship made her port. Paisley, Scotland, was his destination, where he expected to remain some time. William Brown was a native of Scotland, and was born near Kilbride, Scotland, in 1805, and was the son of a leading farmer, of an old family. He came to America in 1842, settling in Quincy the same year. Soon after coming to Quincy he opened a bakery on Main street, on the ground opposite old Pinkam Hall, and for a time he imported metals. Subsequently he removed to the stand occupied by him and ? for twenty years ?, and during this period he steadily and unceasingly gave himself to the business which, through his efforts, has grown into large proportions. Being almost wholly engrossed in his business, he entered little into outside affairs, and caring nothing for office, was urged in vain. For several years past he has efficiently performed the duties as member of the Board of Health, and was a member at the time of his death. In his home and among his friends he was loved and respected, was a strong believer in the Spiritualistic doctrine and was the leader of a number of citizens in this city. The cause of death was jaundice, from which he had suffered for some years. He had hoped to reach his home, and was nearly in sight of Scotland's hills when death occurred."
