--=======4A2045F4======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-1C95C17; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello Kathleen and "The Group" - Our Very Best Wishes to All" for 2002, and thanks Kathleen for the hard work you input to make the Clay Co List so successful !!. I'm at a brick wall with some of my research and I feel the door may be opened if I'm able to get hold of some obituaries, I've applied top Vital Records in KS for death certificate copies but unfortunately the dates preclude registration. Unfortunately I'm in (Bloody Hot!!) Melbourne (AU) and can't splip down the road to your wonderful historical society in Topeka. (I even purchased the book "Pioneers of the Bluestem Prairie" from a bookshop in California, on the net to help me, and what a mine of information it is (If anyone wants a look up I'm more than happy!!). Anyhow, is there a member of the List who could do some look up's for me on the deaths of these relies ??. I'm more than happy to cover any costs.....or come to any arrangements ??. They're all interred at the Greenwood Cemetery and I have the grave locations, dates of death, dates of birth etc' but what I need is miscellaneous information which may be contained in their obituary's. HEMPHILL Henry died January 21 1909 @ 81 Yrs, Buried Block 8, Lot 43, Greenwood Cem' Clay Co HEMPHILL Mary (aka Madgery), (nee johnston-his wife), died June 211884 buried in same plot HEMPHILL William J (Their son) d July 26 1925 @ 61 yrs.

(She is my Great, Great, Great Grandmother, it would be soooo good if there was an obit for her, she arrived in NY in 1873 and was the mother in Law of William J McCully of KS Orphan Train history. Best Wishes to all from Melbourne in AU Don Johnston --=======4A2045F4======= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-avg=cert; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-1C95C17 Content-Disposition: inline --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
