Actually looking to see if there are any records still in existence and if anyone knows where they might be located, or if there is a funeral home in Kokomo today that is a successor to this firm. Have already contacted Stout in Russiaville and Ellers in Kokomo who have older records, but no luck. Researching an unmarked burial in Brook, IN and would like some confirmation...obit and Howard Co. death records both indicate the same place...hoping to find third and final documentation. Thanks!

I'd check the library to see if they have year books.

At the end of this email is the roster of the members of the WRC attached to the T. J. Harrison GAR Post in Kokomo in 1938 - this is taken from a booklet called "The Home Guide", put out by the WRC of Kokomo. It also gives the following history: It started in 1887 - president was Mrs. Flora Wolchner, secretary was Mrs. Agnes Hite. The charter members were: Clara Young, Oma Barnes, Lizzie Redmond, Alice Lowe, Lizzie Sellers, Elizabeth Raines, Ella Sumption, Libbie Moore, Carrie Lowe, Mary L. Stiles, Anna Eliza Jones, Emma Somers, Elso Dolman, Susanna Styer, Louisa Harris, Nancy Williams, Belle Bell, Mary Grant, Etta Wykes, Addah Johnson, Susan Garrigus and Lacy Moore. The booklet gives many of the locations where meetings took place. It also states that the WRC helped entertain at the GAR encampment in 1898, held at the Grace Methodist Church and attended by about 400 veterans. In 1938, the roster is as follows (notes after a name were made by my great-grandmother): President - Rebecca Shauman Senior Vice President - Nellie Bireley Junior Vice President - Genevieve Garrison Secretary - Lottie Chadd Treasurer - Minnie Miller Chaplain - Mary J. Thatcher Conductor - Emma Galbreath Guard - Lena Zuttermeister Patriotic Instructor - Edith Schornstein Musician - Jean Somers Assistant Conductor - Florence Harrell Assistant Guard - Dorothy Foster Color Bearer No. 1 - Josephine Pennington Color Bearer No. 2 - Jessie Jackson Color Bearer No. 3 - Emma Miller Color Bearer No. 4 - Blanche Warner Membership: Sarah J.

Brandon lived in Beltsville, Maryland; Lillian Hall lived in Portland, Oregon, Hattie Kirkpatrick lived in Indianapolis; Della Bilby lived in Tipton; Fannie Ray lived in Sims, Indiana; all others are listed in Kokomo. The rest of the booklet is mostly interesting advertising of local businesses and a few articles on health and home. Just thought the WRC history and roster was interesting (Katherine Sutherland is my great-grandmother - the one who made all of the notes). Jan Rader Kent, OH

I do hope we are related. You have a lot of the information I have - except the Potawatomi. A few answers to your questions: Also's first wife was Nancy Burnett, his cousin. They married in Orange County, North Carolina. His father was Aaron Burnett and mother, Abigail Williams, also of Orange County, North Carolina. If they were of Indian descent it would possibly be from the Saponi Nation, since the Potawatomi were mainly Great Lakes and Indiana region. My great grandfather, William Burnett, was Also's son. I am interested to know when and where he married Nancy Griffin. How are you related to him? Through Levi and Charlotte? Lois
