I put some photographs on the "Twigs" website last night, and added more this morning. I'm still not finished. Items added include the large unidentified family plot in Center Cemetery, Jasper County, MO where Samuel Spence, Elizabeth Inman Spence, Daniel Spence, and Mary Polly Pewitt could all be buried. When I photographed this plot last May, I could not find any identification on the grave. Also--I discovered this from "The Carthage People's Press--Jasper County, MO was flooded in May and in June of 1872. Some of the lower cemeteries stayed under water for quite a period of time. Samuel, Daniel, and Mary Polly were all buried in Moss Springs when this happened. Elizabeth Inman Spence was living in Washington County, Arkansas with her daughter (Milly Catherine Spence Bunch) and her son-in-law James H. Bunch. She died July 16, 1872, and the Bunches returned her body to Jasper County for burial with her husband. However, since Moss Springs was under water at this time, they buried her in Center Cemetery, which was just in the creation stage. Then when Moss Springs finally "dried out", relatives exhumed Samuel, Daniel, and Mary Polly, and re-interred them in Center in that large plot. If anyone knows anything about this plot, I am really interested. I also added pictures of the James H. Bunch/Milly Catherine Spence grave in Jane Cemetery, McDonald County. And I started adding pictures of Butler Creek Cemetery, where Joel O. Hood and Nancy Haskins are also buried. (They were my third great grandparents and their daughter, Minerva Caroline, married William David Spence--son of Samuel.) What I found interesting about their graves is that they are buried with a Jones family. This is one of the brothers of John Bass Jones, who was murdered in Jasper County, MO in 1867. A coroner's inquest was held, but no one was charged. Then in 1880, a number of men were charged with the murder--one of them William Spencer. All of these men wee acquitted. And I started adding more Hopper/Kessler pictures to the website, including the James and Lovilla Hopper stone in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Linn County, IA. James Hopper and his wife were residents of Neck City, Jasper County, MO between 1905-1907. He was the son of Elias Hopper and Mary Jane Swallom, and therefore a first cousin of my great grandfather, Adniram Hopper (who is buried in Fullerton Cemetery, Jasper County, MO). An E.R. Hopper, who resided in Neck City at this same period of time and who may have later relocated to Humansville, was James Hopper's brother.
