Good evening, I am searching for information about Robert Henderson Cresswell Born26 Sept 1857 in Illinois, He married in 9 Oct 1885 in Harvey Township, Cowley Co. Kansas to Anna Wiseman. He died 24 Sept, 1927. I cannot find out where he was buried. Would there be any funeral records or death records (are these one in the same?) Where could I find any records? I would greatly appreciate any help with this. Would anyone know what the name of the newspapers would be for this area? Thank you so much. Sonya Wood

Posted on: Cowley Co. Ks Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ks/Cowley/10043 Surname: Bushnell, Mears, Kemp, Friend, Boyd, Dicks ------------------------- My great-grandfather, CHESTER BUSHNELL, was married to Eva Jane MEDLEY in Wisconsin in 1886. They had 7 children and moved to Oklahoma by 1898. Eva died in Colorado in 1908. Now the mystery.......we know Chester married Elnora Mears in 1909 in Kay Co, OK and divorced her in 1910. Now we have discovered he married Maude Kemp in March 1911. Thru some papers we know that he and Maude divorced by 1919 because he married Julina Boyd Dicks 17 October 1919 when he was 59 yrs old. Maude later married NELSON FRIEND from Arkansas City. In December 1920 Maude (formerly Bushnell) Friend and Chester were in COWLEY CO hangling over property in Nevada. Does anyone know anything about Maude Kemp Bushnell Friend? Chester and Julina divorced 6 December, 1924, in Elko, NV, and he died the next day of a heart attack. I hope we don't find any more marriages for Chester.....I am still trying to figure all these out. Anyone out there with any information email me at [email protected]

Hi Friends, I got this from another list and thought some might want to help this Master's degree candidate out. Would be interesting to get the results. Take care Marilyn The Fullerton Genealogy Study Informed Consent for the Fullerton Study of Genealogists - Genealogy Survey A Master's Thesis Project by Pamela Drake California State University, Fullerton Nearly 60% of U.S. residents participate in some genealogical activities.

If someone has the 1870 and 1880 census for Cowley County, I would be so grateful if they would check for William H. HARP and his wife, Mary HARP. Both were born about 1815/16 in Kentucky. They may have had several children living with them.

Hello the list: I am new to this maillist so thought best to post my interest. I am searching the surname RUHL. In my grgrgrandmother's obituary it mentions that she is survived by a sister, Mrs. Jane RUHL, of Winfield Kansas. Grgrgrandmother Charlotte Anne (Blacklock)Grierson died 12 Mar 1910 in Saginaw MI. Would SKS on this list have any directories or census indexes that could give me any more information on Mrs. RUHL and her family before or after that date? I know this is not much info to work with but anything is worth a try is it not? Thanks in advance for any help. Elizabeth Milne [email protected] Harbor Springs MI
