I have no idea what the Anatomical Society was, but my first guess was that perhaps he generously donated his body to be dissected by medical students? -- JoLynne On 9/10/08 4:29 PM, "Karen H" <wk.haffermehl@sasktel.net> wrote: > Hi everyone! > I am new to your list and I am so excited!

Hi everyone! I am new to your list and I am so excited! I just discovered my husband's grandfather who has been evading detection for some years. I found that he died in Kansas City, MO, in the General Hospital. It says on his death certificate that his place of burial or removal is "Anatomical Society" The rumor is that he was buried in a Pauper's Grave in Kansas City so the pieces are beginning to fall together. I can't seem to find out exactly what the Anatomical Society is or was. Is there any one on the list that knows about this and could show me the light.

It was interesting to read this post. My grandmother lived with her sister Carrie Pendergast and Tom P. My grandmother later married and moved to Calif. to escape the Pendergast legacy. My grandmother always spoke highly of Tom P and Marceline, Aileen and Tom Jr., even though many others had a different perspective.

Thanks, Mary, for your reply. I called the cemetery office and was advised they didn't have any info on my ancestor except the location of her burial site. I have a copy of the obituary but it didn't give much information other than date of death and her surviving husband. Nothing about children. I am wanting a photo of the tombtone for my family record book. juanita > Why don't you write to the cemetery, they have records that go back a > ways.

Why don't you write to the cemetery, they have records that go back a ways. Also, since you know the date, you might find her obit. by ordering the newspaper that for that date. The Illinois State Historical Library in Springfield, Ill. has them on micro-film, and no charge last I heard; I think the obits. would be in a few days, after the death. You would have to do it through your public library on an inter-library loan, and read them at the library on their machines. If you are interested, I do have the address.

Hi. After returning from a research trip to Kansas City, I found out that I missed getting a photo of a couple of tombstones. Does anyone visit relatives buried at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Kansas City? If so, would you be willing to take a photo of two tombstones for me? a digital copy sent by email would be fine. The deceased is Emmett Mitchell Eslinger, born apr 23, 1903. died april 26, 1954. Emmett's father was Elmer Ephriam Eslinger, born Oct. 12, 1877, died Jan. 23, 1956. thank you ever so much! cindy hall cindyhal@illinois.edu
