Kaats. I found that they lived in the same little town in Logan, Butler, Kansas. Just thought the little tidbit would be fun for you to know.

He was one of several children of Arthur and Nola Swain who are buried in the Widener Cemetery east of Rock, KS. I've been able to trace Will Swain up to 1920 when he was the owner of an auto agency in Wichita, KS. Can anyone tell me whatever became of Will Swain after that?

The old wooden frame church was moved to Red Bud, Kansas where cemetery is now. Do you know the year it was built or moved? A photo would be terrific!! Do you know the year the old Holy Name wooden frame church in Red Bud was torn down? Did it keep the Holy Name "name" or did they change the name when they moved it to Red Bud since the church in Winfield kept the "name" Holy Name Catholic Church. I can't find much about the history.

Author: kdxdot Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.cowley/958/mb.ashx Message Board Post: OK...the 1930 (age 2) and 1940 (age 12) census records lists a daughter, Marian Mace within the family of Carl & Gladys Mace. The Mace family has left Kansas by 1947 when their son, Howard marries in Vigo County, Indiana. By 1999 when a brother, Glen dies; no mention of Marian as a surviving sister is listed. By 2003 when her mother, Gladys, passes - again, no mention of this child. Preceded in death is the husband, Carl (I do not have his obit yet) and son Glen, why wouldn't Marian be mentioned as a preceded daughter??? MY THEORY: Marian Mace was 12 in 1940; perhaps shortly after the census she died? OR, by age 12 back then, that is marriage age, perhaps she married and remained in Kansas with no contact with family in Indiana??? I am thinking she may have died at a young age. Can someone look around for her to figure out what happened to her - married? - died? I would greatly appreciate the help in this puzzle!
