Hi list, I am looking for the grave of David Leverett. He died Oct 11, 1921 in Clay Co. AR and was buried in Carrier Mills according to AR news article. I search one cemetery at Carrier Mills with no luck. I am wondering if there is more than one cementery in that town. Does anyone know if the two cementeries have been read and put onto paper anywhere or are they on the computer somewhere? I'm sure he and some other Leverett's are buried in Saline Co., I just can't find any of them. All suggestions welcomed. Thanks. Doug

It appears that the newspaper would be a source of a great deal of information about many people and happenings. Joan Joan, newspapers are a great source of information. The H-E has been published in Golconda since, well as Uncle T. SCOTT said the Civil War, I just sent in my subscription last week. Several people have abstracted it from time to time. Bonnie Barton SKAGGS did three volumes from Dec 1917 - Dec 1921; Faye Morris BOWMAN did Obits 1926-27 & Obits & News 1928. I know the Golconda library has it on micro-film and as Susan said your library can order it or any others from the State. The ones I shared are some I gathered over the years.

Barbara Brown, Circuit Clerk of the Randolph County Court, gave me instruction today about information that cannot be disseminated by researchers. Anything pertaining to a juvenile, an adoption or anything about a person's mental health information in the court system CANNOT be sent to a person requesting it. This is very important to us all. If anyone does this without regard to this request from the court systems, we will not be able to do research as freely as we do now. For myself, I will voluntarily comply with this request. I think it is a good idea and the court insists on it. Velda Wittenbrink Moore vlchas@mindspring.com http://www.larrett.com/velda/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilrcgs/

The newspaper was located in the town of Golconda. The Herald-Enterprise is one of the oldest papers in the state. The newspaper is available on microfilm. If you live in Illinois, see if your local library can get the years that you are interested in through interlibrary loan. Susan

Where was this newspaper publisher located? I see Golconda on one of the articles, but the articles are about Eldorado and Carrier Mills as well as Pope County. Are there copies of the paper in a So.

Herald-Enterprise ~ Nov 19 1931- OBIT. Val Wasson, son of Dr. John and Martha"Hall Was~on was born on a farm in Pope co., Ill., 25th July 1863. Departed this life at his home in Carrier Mills, Ill., 7th Nov 1931, aged 68y 3m 13d. On 22nd Dec 1892, he was united in marriage to Mellie E. Parker of Murray, Ky. To union five children born, three sons: Fred H., Chester P. and Dewey L. Wasson. Two daughters, Carrie Belle and Mrs. Mabel Dean. These with nine grandchildren and devoted wife survive. He was a member of a family of thirteen children. All of whom grew to maturity except one sister, Clara, who died in infancy. Of these, four brothers, Columbus, Alexander, John F. and Chas. F. and one sister, Martha Elizabeth preceded him in death. Three brothers living, W.E., A.J., and Rev. M.C. Wasson, all residing in the old home community near Hartsville in Pope county. Four sisters living, Mrs. Sarah E. Williams of Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs. Julia Gibbons of Herod, Illinois, Mrs. Amanda Jane Williams of Karbers Ridge, Illinois and Mrs. Lora Wasson of Eldorado, Illinois, Route #1. Member of Methodist Episcopal Church in Carrier Mills. Members IOOF Lodge No. 874 and Modern Woodman of American Camp No. 13 at Raleigh. Uncle Val as his friends and neighbors called him, moved from the farm in Pope county to Raleigh, Ill. in fall of 1908, where he operated a general store until the spring of 1915 when he moved to present homestead in Carrier Mills. In 1913 he opened a store at Wasson, Ill. this store still operates, then when Wasson No.2 Mine was opened at Carrier Mills he opened a store at that mine, later moving into the town, where now the large dept. store is located. He was a man of very limited education and not a financial genius, but rugged honesty and straightforward manner won the confidence of those with whom he was associated in any way and today the name of Val Wasson stands as pure gold with the greatest business organizations of the country, as well as the poorest customer who buy from his stores.

I'm looking for a marriage record of William B. Short, his middle name could be Boyd married to Caroline Wariner or Warren. His only child, Charles McPherson Short's death certificate mentions his parents. The close that I can figure out that William probably got married in the late 60's but no later then 1872, because that's when Charles McPherson Short was born. I have not been able to place him on the 1870 census. So I want to think that he was married after 1870 but no later then 1872. If you happen to have a marriage record book on hand could you please check the index. I have already check the IRA site and could find nothing. Charlotte

Is there anyone on this list who descends from Hudson Rude (1817-1894) who was the son of Isaac Newton Rude? Or anyone who is researching the Isaac Newton Rude line? Helen Graves

The County Clerk of Saline County probably can locate this record. 10 W. Poplar St., Harrisburg, IL 62946. Or phone 618-253-8197. Give them the box number of the probate file if it is given in the book. I know they have records as early as 1855. Anything older than 1847 will be in Gallatin County.,

Hi! If you need to check probate records, the best thing to do is go to a library that has access to the LDS microfilms. Before you go in, go to Family Search, click on Library, then click on Search the catalog. Then click on place search, then enter Saline, and Illinois. To rent the microfilm costs $6.00 for one month.

The Saline County Genealogical Society book, "Saline County, Illinois Probate Records Vol. 1" has a reference to a probate for George Dew in 1850-51. I wrote to IRAD at SIU for a copy of those records, but received a letter saying they can find nothing re: George Dew. Does anyone know where these records can be found? Are they at one of the county offices? Or does the Genealogical Society have actual copies? Thanks for any help and info. If anyone has any info about George Washington Dew, I would appreciate it.
