Alice (Mack) Turner was born in 1907 and lived in KCK until about 1958/59 when she and my grandfather, Jesse Orville "J.O." Turner, retired and moved to the Lake of the Ozarks in 1958/59. My parents Beverly (Turner) Klamm was born in KCK in 1935. I want to say it was in the Armourdale District, but I'll have to check that for sure. My dad, Richard "Dick" Klamm, was born in KCK in 1932. He and mom moved to Holdrege, Nebraska about the same year as Alice and J.O. moved to Missouri. The Klamms in the KC area are pretty much all my relation in some way. Don, married to Betty, was my dad's brother. Edna Mae (Klamm) Cannavan, married to Bob Cannavan, is my dad's sister. The Klamms lived in Bethel. Grandma Bessie Elizabeth (Storey) Klamm lived to be 103. She died in 2002. Grandpa George Lewis Klamm died in 1987. They were both born in 1899. I haven't met many of my Klamm relatives other than my direct line as my dad's family didn't seem to socialize much with the other branches for some reason. The Turners came from Columbia, Missouri, to KCK when J.O's father died in 1918. His widowed mother, Malinda (Barnhart) Turner married Forest Bedford Bass in 1921. Let's see. You might know the Hunts. Grandma Alice's sister, Eva, married Donald Hunt. They had a handful of kids including Charles and Pat. I'm sure there were others, but I can only think of their names right now. Another Mack sister, Maggie, was married to a man named Ambrose Beck. They had two daughters named Dorothy and Ida. Alice's brother, George Mack, married a Catherine Hardy and later a woman named Ann (I can't remember her last name right now.) The oldest sister, Mae Mack, never married. Somewhere, I have a photograph from the Kansas School for the Blind. It shows a group of children and I believe their names are written on the back. Great Aunt Mae worked there as a teacher. I even have a letter from a parent thanking her for taking care of their child. I also have a photograph of group of women telephone operators at the switchboard. I think most of them are named in the photo. Alice and Eva both worked there. Bellsouth, I think. The Mack family lived for many years at 313 Walker St. Alice's father, Henry Mack (shortened from McNamara) worked at the Westside Foundry. There are other names of neighbors I remember off the top of my head. Alice McCauley was the midwife who birthed Grandma Alice, which is why she is named Alice. I believe her husband's name was John and two sons, Robert and Samuel. There was a woman who lived next door they called "Granny Noble. I think her name was Mary. She had two sons. I'll have to look up their names. The Conley sisters - Lyda, Lena and Ida were Wyandot Indian neighbors and Grandma's Sunday School teachers. Other neighbors were Maude and, uh, Joseph (I think) Pitts and their two sons (whose names escape me at this moment.) Grandma's best friend was Rosie Kalish. There are a bunch more names, but that's all I can think of right now. I'll dig through the storage boxes and see what else I can come up with. ~kate > > In a message dated 1/11/2009 3:04:32 P.M.
