John - can't say for certain. I took that date from info garnered from Civil War pension ap, which I have at home, and from Ancestry's listing of the Civil War records for that family. Yes, I am reasonably sure she died in KC - all her sisters & their kin moved to Calif., but Lucy's oldest dau., Georgia was mar. to Louis Reppell, both families were in the 1912 City Directory, son Horace was mar. by 1912 or shortly thereafter (you found the record for me), and lived & died (1938) in KC; single dau (Lucille) of Lucy & Ross went into a Catholic Children's institution, & I find her in 1920 (?)census, there as an "inmate" in her 40's, so, I think it makes sense she is bur. with husband Ross, but I can't remember where his obit says he was buried. I don't remember, I just brought a few notes with me. I had hoped we might strike "paydirt" with your approach. Thanks, Eleanor - we'll find her! > Eleanor, darn!

Wonder if someone can point me in the right direct re: my conundrum. My father, Irl Potter HAYNES, family notes indicate, had an apartment on Troost in KC, MO in 1927. Then, today, in perusing the microfilm of the Savonburg Record (of Allen Co., KS), a brief note says that, "...Jun 17, 1927: Mrs. O.A. Weddle and daughter Mildred returned to Savonburg Wednesday after a visit with their daughter and sister, Mrs. Irl P. Haynes and husband of Kansas City..." Is there a kind soul out there who can suggest where I should look to verify how long he (they) lived in KC, MO??? City directory? Other resource? Thank you.
