I am looking for information on Roy`s family in Lawrence Co. and beyond. According to SSI records, Roy b. Jan. 25, 1930 d. April 1992. Supposidly his parents were George and Mary Jackson Oliver. Roy may have had a son Paul Oliver. If anyone could help me put this family together I would appreciate it. Thanks, Lisa

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone might have information on this Oliver family of Lawrence Co. In. Roy Oliver married Pheby ? His father was George Oliver and he was married to Mary Jackson. These families may have been in the Bedford area. Any help on this family would be appreciated. Paul Oliver son of Roy Oliver has recently departed from this world and his family is wanting to find out about their family. Thanks, Lisa Marcum

I am seeking information on the descendents of Walter Pulmer Buzzaird and Mary Browne who were married in Owen County (although the marriage is recorded in Monroe) on Dec. 15, 1898. They were both teachers, although at the time of the marriage he was the assistant superintendent of the Metropolitan Insurance Company at Bedford. I think he had at least one son, Orville Ernest, who married Ruth Grafton, reportedly from Bedford. They all went to Texas about 1940. Walter is the brother of my grandfather, Elmer Sherman Buzzaird. I have corresponded with another researcher in Texas, and we're pretty sure we're related. Now we just have to prove it. Are there birth records available in Bedford? If so, how can I access them? Any suggestions from you Lawrence County researchers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Frankie Hammond Alachua, FL

I want to thank this list and people like Bill Strahle for going that extra step for those of us needing help and not being exactly sure where to find it at times. Finding James has had it's twists and turns and this list has been absolutely great with offers of help. Thanks a Million! Jan

Can someone please give me the names of any funeral homes in Mitchell, Indiana. Hoping to find an obit notice or record of surviving family members for James M. Sizemore who died in 1915 and is buried in Mitchell, IN. Thanks so much to this list for prior help! Jan

All Lawrence County researchers take notice of this message: Okay, it has been 20 minutes since I got your email concerning Mitchell funeral homes. I live in Mitchell and decided to take another approach to your information. The Mitchell Community Library has a great resource for information such as this. The obituaries that were printed in the local newspaper (Mitchell Tribune) have been indexed by surname by year from the 1880s by a researcher (Helen Ackerman) here in the Mitchell area who has spent obviously a great deal of time in compiling this information. So, with a call to the library, I have determined that James Sizemore, a city councilman, born Jul 28, 1866 in Lee Co., VA had his obituary printed in the May 6, 1915 edition of the Mitchell Tribune. I would suggest that you call or email the library and get the full obituary. Unfortunately, it does not list the funeral home nor the place of burial. You can reach the library's home page on the web directly at http://www.mitlib.org In the Mitchell Area Web Site http://www.mitchell-indiana.org/library.htm you may find more information as what resources the library has.

Can anyone tell me if there is an index for cemeteries in Lawerence County, expecially in Mitchell? I am searching for the burial place for James M. Sizemore b. July 1866 d. April or May of 1915. Survived by his wife, Mary B. Sizemore. They had no children. Thanks! Jan

I'm also very curious about this cemetery, it's the first I've heard of it. My ancestor, John Sutton, was often listed in the history books with a George Sheeks, whose cabin is now on display in some sort of museum/village place. I'm wondering if John Sutton could be buried in this cemetery. Was it named for the George Sheeks I'm thinking of, or any relation of his? Thanks for the info!

I am interested in hearing about the Sheeks Cemetery in Mitchell, Lawrence County and if possible, a couple of pictures of the cemetery and one gravestone in particular. I am willing to pay the cost of the photos and postage. Is there anyone on this list who visits the cemetery? If pictures are not available, could someone just tell me some info on the cemetery? Thank you very much, Sandi

Hi, I'm trying to locate informaton on Abraham Pavy and wife Violet in the early 1900's in Lawrence Co. I did find them living in Russell Twp in 1900, but can't seem to locate a Russell Twp in the 1910 Census---does anyone have any clues where to look? Are Abraham and Violet listed in any death/cemetery indexes? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks G. Swoik IL

Will somebody in Lawrence County confirm or deny this as FACT? I won't spread it unless it is FACT!

Dear list members, We are interested in learning of the location of any manuscript church records which may exist for Primitive Baptist churches in Indiana (as well as other states). If any of you know of any, please let me know. We are trying to preserve them, film them, extract names of members from them, and then write histories of the churches and name the surnames of the members, on our website, which will be a tool for family history researchers as well as church history researchers. We have several already, for Indiana, and are presently working on this project for Missouri and Indiana, after having pretty much completed what we can do for Illinois and Iowa with the records we have. Our website, if you wish to see for yourself what we are doing, is: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html (the ".html" at the end must be appended for it to work - the URL is lengthy and tends to cut off part of the html, so it must be put back on, before you click on it, to go to our site). After you reach our homepage, there are links to click on for about 14 states, but only Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana have much or some completed at this time. We welcome you to write on one of our guestbooks. Sincerely, Robert Webb The Primitive Baptist Library ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
