Bill, Curious as to which family names you may have that are buried at the Shiloh Cemetery and Friendly Grove cemetery. I, too, have family buried at both places. Researching Rehmel and Reynolds Homepage at: <http://www.familyheritage.org> |

Thanks Bill, That's an interesting site. I've been looking for one that shows section lines over the topo layout...looks like you found it. I'm wondering where I can find a map of the shaft/slope mines that exist in Clay County. Do you (or anyone else on the list) have an idea of where such a site, or map would exist? And it would be great if I could see a detailed map of the shaft layout for each mine. How many of us live in Clay County and don't even know we have a shaft under our property? Last question, and I'll go. Does anybody else have ancestors that worked in Risher [shaft] Mine in Saline? Looking for stories concerning the mining conditions in Clay County's underground mines. Which mine did you're ancestor work in?

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I am doing research for a family who has the Brackney ancestry. Any information you may have would be helpful.

I am helping a friend, she doesn't have a computer and so isn't on the Internet. Her family George Washington Brackney and wife Mary were in the 1850 census for Clay County, she needs Mary's maiden name. George was b. 15 Mar 1820 Indiana, d. 22 June 1903 Adair Co., MO, Mary was born abt. 1825, d. abt 1878. Doesn't anyone have any information concerning this family? Thank you. Sharon R. AZ

Parker is one of the surnames I'm researching but not in Clay Co. IN. - sorry. Jan Baldwin in OKC

The George Washington Brackney you are referring to is the brother of my 2nd GGF. David Brackney. I'm sorry I have nothing on Mary other then she was born in PA. according to what was given to me. I have his information on back to the emmigrant. Jan Baldwin in OKC

I have been receiving some e-mails with concern to my virus warning. I am very sorry about that. If I had thought before I sent that warning, I wouldn't have caused such a panic. No List that I know of can receive attachment files, and therefore, I should not have sent the warning to the Lists. I restored my computer as soon as I realized it was a virus and it could not have gone out to anyone in my e-mail address book. Again, I apologize for this and be assured that it will never happen again. Now, I won't be talking about this virus again, as these lists are for genealogy and that is all they should be used for. I hope that I'm forgiven. ;o( Sincerely, Becky

Several people have let me know that the deaths on the website are from a funeral home book. I had assumed they were WPA records until I couldn't find the infant Harrison Criss on the WPA microfilm.

Laura, I am almost certain that those death listings came from the Sherfey & Kidd funeral home book that the Clay County Genealogical Society sells. The early years of mandatory record keeping were very sketchy so there may be no "official" death record.

It is possible David McClain lived on Murphy Avenue in the 1960's.. He would have died before 1974 and he died at home on N Murphy Avenue-- where he had lived a long time As far as I know he never married... but had siblings who watched over him that had married. check at the health office for his death certificate.. in Clay Co it had to be before 1974..and after 1965.
