Are you sure that they aren't the same? His wife's name was Anna, I believe they are buried at Carpenter's Cemetery, Cloverland a few miles from Staunton, IN.(I'll have to check on this again to be sure) Could it be a cousin? bass103@juno.com wrote: > boy oh boy I should know this person but I don't think I am connected > just think my dad used to talk about him.. only it was probably Alonzo > Jr. I wasn't born in 1949.. > On Tue, 18 Jul 2000 18:08:13 -0500 Dale White <dwhite@jdv.net> writes: > >Obituary March 21, 1949- Terre Haute Tribune > > > >Alonzo Morris > >Brazil, Ind., March 21, (Special) > > > >Alonzo Morris, 66 years old, retired coal miner, residing south of > >Cloverland, died > >at 6:30 o'clock Monday morning at the home on a daughter, Mrs. Harley > >Smith, south > >of Brazil.

I never knew Charles was married and I hadn't bothered looking! I called my father, his nephew, and he remembered hearing some rumor to that affect. He can recall meeting Lola once at her home in Bloomington. Charles was the youngest of two brothers. He was born in Indiana in March 1888 probably in Clay County to William Morton Grayson and Ida Ella Elkins. His brother, Cecil, married May Modesitt of Cory. Charles died 2 October 1930 in South Dakota. I believe he died as a result of his drinking. He may be buried in an unmarked grave in Ashboro by his parents. I have pictures of him as a child, none as an adult. I haven't spent much time researching this family, but I would be happy to share what I have.

Cathy, No, I really don't know. There are not persons in my family, but I have done research on some others. No copies of search kept by me. There is a Family File at the Genealogy Library with information about lots of the Chance Line. Mary

on June 27, 1912 (in Clay County) my Great Aunt Lola marred Charles E. Grayson. They werent married long, there is a family story behind why. Something about her father not wanting her married, I think. Is any one on this list researching the Grayson Family? I'm just looking for the Grayson side of the story. I'll share mine with any one interested. Aunt Lola never mentioned Charles and she never remarried. I havent even come across a picture of him in her stuff yet.

if I am not mistaken there was a McCann who owned the MacNell nursing home located on the old Poor Farm in Clay Co but it would be in Sugar Creek township instead of Posey township and isn't all that close to Staunton however they are both in the same county.

Staunton is located west of Brazil and East of Seelyville (vigo co) and little south of Cloverland (clay/vigo) but it is in CLAY co. west of "Turner"-- has a post office. the only two Lawrence's I saw inthe Posey Township cemetery book were Chas. H died 9/4/1948 CP/PS (carpenter/ cloverland in posey twp) there is a large cemetery Summit Lawn in posey township which is probably where your group is buried because there isn't a listing for that cemetery YET -- one is to be published soon. the listing can be purchased as they are printed from the Clay Co Genealogy Society. and George D b. 1880 d. 1954 buried in Rhule cemetery..

I'm trying to find where Staunton might be located and what cemeteries would be in that area. I think that James and Ellen A. McCann might be buried there. Elias Lawrence, Ellen A. Lawrence McCann's father, died in 1878 in Staunton , and I am trying to locate his burial also. Several members of the Lawrence family died in Staunton. James McCann died in 1920. and Ellen McCann died in 1902. Does anyone know if there were to have been an obituary, where I should look if the location was Staunton, Clay Co. ? Thank you Cheri

I was just doing a little checking in my family files and saw that Elijah was living in Perry, IA after he moved from Clay County in 1852. I think Tillman chance had 10 children and at his death he gave all them a piece of his land in Iowa. Mary

Diana Chance b abt 1825, daughter of Tillman Chance, married Elijah Orman. They moved to Wapello Co, IA about 1851 was taken. I am under the impression that Tillman Chance moved there too! Some of those families settled in Davis Co., IA too. Mary
