I am seeking information for William B and Jennie Snyder between 1889 and 1906 in Kansas City, KS. William worked for Allcutt Packing and he later worked for Swift & Co. Any information from the 1895 state census, 1905 state census, or city directories would be greatly appreciated. William's year of birth is 1858. Any lead on finding birth records for their children who were born during this period would be appreciated also. Thank you. Christine Stout ggd of William B Snyder.

Evelyn

John, there is a possibility - I found Wm. B. and wife Amelia in 1850, Kaw Twsp, with 8 children including James C, (below) and a Benjamin age 3. In 1870, there is a Wm. B. age 23, at school, in Clay Co. Liberty Twsp, boarding with other students in a lawyer's home. But I don't find this man in 1880. However, James C. is in the 1880 census, Clay Co. Gallatin Twsp, w/wife Elizabeth, etc. AND my B. Franklin Evans is also in Gallatin Twsp.as a farmer. Both men say their fathers were b. Ky. This could just be a coincidence, it is going to take some more study on my part. I would have thought the 3 yr old Benjamin in 1850, would have been named for his father, but called Benjamin to prevent confusion. So I thought it likely that Wm. B., 23 in 1870 might be the same person. There is some room for questions here - but you certainly have provided me with a lot of "food for thought". Thank you very much for posting this information.

One part of this area is called "Evan's Hills" and another part is called "Dundee Hills." Source: "History of Clay and Platte Counties, Missouri" published in 1885 James C. EVANS, farmer. Mr. EVANS' grandfather, John EVANS, was one of the first five householders who settled in Clay county with their families in 1820. He was from Madison county, Ky., and on first coming to this State resided for two years in Howard county. In 1829 he removed with his family to Clinton county, being one of the first settlers of that county. He died there in 1840. William B. EVANS, the father of the subject of this sketch, was 12 years of age when his parents came to Howard county from Kentucky. Thence he went with them to Clay county, and with them from Clay to Clinton county in 1829. The following year, however, he crossed the river into Jackson county, where Kansas City now stands. There he met and was married to Miss Amelia McGEE, a daughter of James H. and Eleanor McGEE. That was in 1830, and the same year Mrs. EVANS (his wife) had 80 acres of land set apart to her by her father from the family homestead, the same 80 now forming a part of Dundee place. Mr. EVANS settled on this with his young wife, and made it their home for a number of years. The ownership of the land continued in Mrs. EVANS' name until two years ago, when the title was transferred to the Dundee Company. Mr. EVANS was one of the founders of Kansas City. He established the first ferry there. He helped to survey and plat the place and bought the first lots sold. He early built a house of entertainment down at the ferry, and what is now the foot of Main street, where many and many a traveler stopped in those early days when on their way to and from the great West. He also had a large warehouse and storage buildings. He died at Kansas City in 1855. His wife, however, is still living, at the advanced age of 72. They had 10 children, five of whom are living, including the subject of this sketch. James C. EVANS was born on the present site of Kansas City, April 25, 1833. He was reared in Jackson county, and given a good common school education. November 15, 1860, he was married in Clay county to Miss Elizabeth CAMPBELL, a daughter of Samuel W. and Mary CAMPBELL, early settlers of this county. The following year Mr. EVANS removed to Clay county and settled on the farm where he now resides. He has been a resident of the county ever since. Mr. EVANS has made himself one of the substantial citizens and successful farmers of the county. His home place is a fine farm of 250 acres, on which he has a handsome brick residence, built at a cost of $12,000. Mr. EVANS is an active member of the Grange, and has been a member of that organization since it was first established in this county. He takes a warm interest in the welfare of the order. He is also one of the leading horticulturists of the West, and is now president of the State Horticultural Society. April 11, 1882, Mr. EVANS had the misfortune to lose his wife. She left him eight children at her death. She was an earnest member of the Christian Church. ================================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "ELEANOR McCAIN" <eleanormccain@attbi.com> To: <KansasCity-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 7:34 AM Subject: RE: [KansasCity] Benjamine J.

Thanks too, for this one, John. It was worth a try.

Hi John - thanks for looking, but this is not mine. The Oct. death date came from the SOS birth/death web site that Dave Goldy mentioned - my B. Franklin (Benjamin?) Evans was living in 1880, in Clay Co. Gallatin Twsp. with wife Lena (my Mary Lina Bowdon) and first dau. Daisy. You found a marriage record for me to the 2nd husband (Joseph Hutchinson) in late 1880's, so I thought the Ben F. below might have been husband #1 - close, but "no cigar", as they say. I do not know whether B. Franklin Evans died or they were divorced. Thanks for trying for me.

ARMSTRONG, CANNON, GREGORY, HOLMES "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Tuesday, January 26, 1915 DAUGHTER OF FIRST K. C. MAYOR DEAD Mrs. W. E. ARMSTRONG, sister of R. L. GREGORY and daughter of Kansas City's first mayor, is dead at her home in Buffalo, N. Y. The body is to be brought to Kansas City for burial in Elmwood Cemetery. Funeral services will be at the home of Mrs. Conway F. HOLMES, a sister, 910 East Armour boulevard, at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Mrs. ARMSTRONG was Clara GREGORY. She was born in Kansas City in 1858. Her father, W. S. GREGORY, was one of the city's pioneers and was chosen mayor when the city was incorporated. She was married to R. H. CANNON, formerly of this city, and ten years following his death married Mr. ARMSTRONG, who survives. She leaves two brothers, Robert L. GREGORY and Samuel GREGORY, and one sister, Mrs. HOLMES, all of Kansas City. =================================================== Elmwood Cemetery: Block K, Lot 13 Clara L. ARMSTRONG, b. 23 Feb 1858, d. 25 Jan 1915, interred 28 Jan 1915 ================================================= (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) =================================================

I am looking for information on Benjamin Franklin Hale, Steven Hale, James T. Hale, Arzona Hale [Utley], John Hale, Charles Hale, George Hale, Homer Hale and/or Russell Hale. I have a photocopy of Benjamin's obit. but, I do not know date of death or paper in which it appeared. My guess is 1922. Here is what I have: On last friday [crossed out and monday written above] afternoon funeral services were held over the remains of Mr. B. F. Hale, for 38 years a resident of this city at his late home, 827 South Baltimore street. A remarkable feature of this service was the reading of an obituary prepared by the deceased himself about two years ago, which folows: My name is Benjamin Franklin Hale. I was born in Platt County MO., February 8, 1853. At the age of two years my mother and father moved to Atchison County, Kansas and I lived there until I was 20 years old. My mother died in 1878. I left home and went to St. Louis, MO, and went into business with my brother Steven Hale. I stayed there two years and then went to Indianna and farmed for seven years. There I was married to Miss Anna Taylor and we were blessed with a son, James T. Hale. He is now on a farm in Iowa, He is married and has 3 children. His mother died in 1879 and I stayed in Indianna one year, then left for Kansas City where I lived with my brother John Hale until March 18, 188? [a 4 is written over the original number] when I married Miss Arzona Utley. During our married life we were blessed with four children, Charles Hale, Russell Hale, Homer Hale and George Hale. Since living here in Kansas City I worked at the dairy business and labored until I became so deaf I had to stop hard work. I am youngest of a family of eleven children. All are dead but one brother in California. Mother died in 1878. Father died in 1875. I joined the Christian Church in 1880 in Oxford, Indianna, but my deafness hindered me from hearing in church and my only hope was reading and prayer. ======================= James T. Hale was my grandfathers father. He left the family when the children were little for another woman. And the story my grandfather/father was told was that he was a drifter, just passing through town.[just stopped to have 3 kids on a farm in Iowa?] My great grandmother left a letter when she passed away with what little information she had, including this obituary. Any information anyone has on this family would be greatly apprishiated. Thank you, Nancy Hale
