Hi List: Recently received portion of a Rural School Census of Crawford County, 1908-1912, School District 115, page 1, Midway School District from Genealogical Society in Pittsburg. It indicates my great grandfather's step children, Emma, Ida, Mary and Obery (Aubrey?) Gahm. Their mother, Agnes Gahm, from Scotland, was indicated on the 1910 census as Agnes Lamberson. Emma was born in Scotland and remainder in Kansas. Father is unknown to me so far. Assume she was a widow. My great grandfather was Sherd, Sheridan or Richard Sheridan Lamberson, depending on which records we look at. His first wife died in 1904, named Minnie Murray Lamberson. Looking for any GAHM'S of the area. Also for Agnes Gahm Lamberson and for Richard Sheridan. Midway is a dead town now. Located near Girard/Litchfield area. Appreciate any help from the list. Thanks: Bob Long

Found this in Cutler's History of Crawford Co.Ks Thought it was interesting. Carol TORNADO. Quite a number of tornadoes have occurred in Crawford County since its settlement, but the most terrific one was that of May 22, 1873. It came from the southwest, across the southeast corner of Neosho County, and crossed Crawford County in a northeasterly direction. The following named persons were killed: Mrs. Hezekiah Smith, Uriah Spurgeon, a baby of Ellen Hammond. Thirty-four were more or less severely wounded, some of them fatally, and a great deal of property destroyed, the loss being $4,457. A recital of some of the freaks of the storm will convey some idea of the forces of the wind. A boy, son of Mr. Black, was carried over a peach orchard and reached the ground uninjured. John Spurgeon, a lad about eight years old, was carried about 100 yards and had a thigh broken in two places. A baby was carried 300 yards and afterward found in a cornfield. Two horses were in a log stable hitched to one of the logs; the stable was blown down, and the horses, with the log to which they were tied, were blown through the air one-fourth of a mile without injury, and when found were still hitched to the log. Fifteen houses were entirely demolished. So great was the devastation worked that the County Commissioners gave assistance to the following parties in the following sums: Mrs. Hooper, $625; William Blaylock, $100; John Frogge, $200; B. R. Addis, $100; Theodore Metcalf, $50; W. T. Gunn, $50, and F. H. Dumbald, $100

Carol - Would you please repeat the title and/or availability of the book that contains information on Chad Brown. Sorry I did not pick up on previous discussions.

Any help appreciated. Vi

Posted on: Crawford Co. Ks Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ks/Crawford?read=37 Surname: Norwood, Marsh ------------------------- I do not know if you reside in Crawford County or not, but there are Norwoods buried there, that may connect to my Mark and Lillie, but haven't made the connection. Mark was born in N.C.,moved with his family to Oklahoma and then to Crawford County, Kansas. He stayed in Kansas until his death. Will be glad to share information that I have found as I search on the Norwood surname. His family stayed in Oklahoma,as far as I know, except for his wife. Janelle

Posted on: Crawford Co. Ks Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ks/Crawford?read=35 Surname: Norwood ------------------------- Janelle I will keep looking for any information about Mark & Lillie. I will look for a burial record in Crawford County and not limit it to the city of Pittsburg. I haven't checked with the city or county about Marks employment, but will. Normally, in Kansas, a star shaped badge indicates service with the Sheriff Department, but in in the 20's it very well could have been a City Marshals badge. I will let you know as soon as I find something. Carl

Posted on: Crawford Co. Ks Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ks/Crawford?read=32 Surname: Norwood, Marsh ------------------------- Thanks so much. Do you know if there were any Marsh families also in the area ? This is great,to know they were indeed in Crawford County. I have some information I found from Oklahoma on them, but glad to get info from there. Somewhere they are buried in Kansas, Lillie, Mark and a child who died at a young age. Mark had a badge that was shaped like a star with his name on the back when he died. Was this a policeman badge, sheriff, or marshall badge ? Can you help me on this? I want to find their graves so much. Janelle
