I've "rescued" an old photograph of Minnie WALROND which was taken at the Gardner Studio in Kansas City, Missouri. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's and notes that Minnie is 16 years old at the time it was taken. I'm hoping to locate someone from Minnie's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hello! I am looking for an obit for Lilburn H. Cooper or it could be spelled Lilbern H. Cooper. He died May 26, 1920. I have very little information.. He was my great great grandfather. I have located him in the 1910 and 1920 census, but he seems to be a mystery before then. I am hoping that there may be a little more information in the obit. Lilburn was born December 25, 1958. Thanks, Teresa

I am hoping someone can help me out with an obituary for Green W. Shrake, who died, according to cemetery records, on 19 December 1908. I believe he lived in KCKS at the time. The story I have is that he and his wife were killed in a gas explosion in their house on Woodland Ave His wife was Emily L. Robertson Shrake. She may have survived for a few days after the explosion, as the cemetery record gives her death date as 28 December 1908. I would, of course, be interested in an obit on her as well. Thanks in advance for any help, Ted Snediker

BAIRD, BROOKS, DITZEN, DUBUQUE, DYE, FARRINGTON, FAUST, HARDY, HAYES, HOWELL, KELLY, KENDALL, KENOSKY, KLINE, MARTIN, McCARTY, MYER, MYERS, OSBORN, PEARSON, PERKINS, SEEMAN, SMITH, SNYDER, STEVENS, THOMAS, THOMPSON, WURINNER "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, January 28, 1922 MAMMA SPELLS THE BEST. "Spell geranium," said the teacher giving out the words at an old-fashioned spelling "Bee." "G-e-r-n-a-u-i-m," said a little girl 12 years old. "Wrong," said the teacher. "G-e-r-a-n-i-u-m," said the mother of the little girl from the other side of the room. The little girl, blushing and confused, returned to her seat and the spelling match was over. Thus it was that mother outspelled daughter at a spelling match yesterday afternoon at the Parker school, Kansas City, Kas. The contestants were the pupils of the sixth grade and members of the Parent-Teacher Association of the school. The mother was Mrs. G. C. SEEMAN, route 4, Kansas City, Kas., and the daughter, Helen SEEMAN. Two other mothers were still standing when Miss Virginia KLINE, teacher of the sixth grade, gave out the fatal work, "geranium." They were Mrs. E. P. KELLY, Thirty-sixth street and Frederick avenue, and Mrs. Lawrence FAUST, 3140 Greeley avenue. The words selected for the match were from the Kansas speller, chosen by M. E. PEARSON, superintendent of schools in Kansas City, Kas. Miss KLINE started with the list of words studied by the sixth grade. One by one mothers and pupils dropped from the line as such "stingers" as "amateur," "loneliness," "separate," "judgment," and other catchy words puzzled their memory. By the time all of the words studied by the sixth grade had been exhausted, the three mothers and the little girl were left standing. Miss KLINE went through the list again. Still none missed. Then she turned to the list of words used by the fifth grade pupils. This was a fatal move for the pupils, for among these words was the one that proved their downfall, geranium. The words given out were not long, scientific terms, but words used in every day speech. As Miss KLINE said, mistakes made were attributable to thoughtlessness and carelessness more than ignorance. Abbreviations proved a stumbling block for quite a number of both pupils and mothers. One mother spelled "forenoon" with two "o's" in the first syllable. It was spelled correctly by a pupil. The next mother in line was asked to give the abbreviation. She gave it as "p.m." A shout of laughter arose which evidently confused the next pupil in line, as she, too, gave the same abbreviation. Those who took part in the match: Mothers: Mrs. J. N. BAIRD Mrs. G. C. SEEMAN Mrs. R. HOWELL Mrs. E. P. KELLY Mrs. J. A. STEVENS Mrs. D. C. KENDALL Mrs. W. J. FARRINGTON Mrs. R. L. BROOKS Mrs. C. McCARTY Mrs. J. H. MYERS Mrs. P. R. DUBUQUE Mrs. Laurence FAUST Mrs. D. HARDY Mrs. S. P. PERKINS Mrs. P. H.

Judith The Mid-Continent Library in Independence, Mo has a scrap book of all obituaries published in the Kansas City TIMES and the Kansas City STAR newspapers, starting in 1979. Both of these papers are published in Kansas City, MO (the Times ceased publication sometime in the 1980s) but Kenneth's obituary was likley publsihed in the STAR. It is the major metropolitian newspaper. Visit this link, and send an email request to the email address in Item 5. They will transcribe the obituary and return it via email.

Hello: I would like to locate an obit on KENNETH RICHARD BENNETT. He died 3/8/1990 in Kansas City, KS. It seems that I cannot obtain a death cert for him for genealogical purposes. I am his niece.

You might try this source-Missouri kept a lot of records but they were not detailed-I call it sloppy record keeping, but better than none-even the Certified Death Certificates were not always filled out properly. _w.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/deathFAQ.asp_ (http://w.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/deathFAQ.asp)

Okay, so I'm ready to start getting death certificates on family. Problem is: There are so MANY of them! Is there a cheaper way than the $13 death certificates from the state? I just don't have that kind of scratch. Christy

I am working on my family history and need to find information on my cousin Dr Kenneth L Lambert who was born in Kansas City Mo Sept 28 1938 to Lawrence August and Louise DeVierman. Kenneth is an orthopaedic surgeon and had an office in Kansas City for several years .Any information would be deeply appreciated. Dixie Richardson [email protected]
