Hi Lois Kay, Lizzie and my grandfather Henry Wilson Umphenour were married, where is uncertain, SE Kansas or NE Oklahoma. They had two children, Gertrude born about 1903 and Claude born about 1905 (in OK) according to the 1920 census where he is living with Lizzie and her husband Jerry Beard. Hnery and Lizzie divorced at some point and Henry married Ada Salome Raber about Oct 1909. My mother was born in 1920 and the family lived around Girard, Walnut areas. I have no idea what happened to Gertrude of Claude. I did not even know of their existenance until a couple of years ago when I contacted my Shireman relatives in Girard. They only knew of Henry's marriage to Lizzie, not of his marriage to Ada. My mom passed away in 1963 and being a young child at that time I really did not know relatives. I have been back to the Joplin, Mo, Girard, Walnut, Farlington Ks areas several times to collect what information I could. I did find Calude Umphenour in jail in Clinton, MO in the 1930 census where he has been married about a year. Until the 1940 comes out I have no more leads. Of Gertrude I have no idea as she is not listed anywhere I can find in 1910 or 1920. Of course by 1920 she may have been amrried and would be under her husbands name. After Jerry Beard passed away Lizzie married again in Washington Co OK I believe. She and Jerry had a son named Earl. I've not been able to trace him either. I nay need your information at some point if I can find the other "family" members. Thanks so much.

Englevale used to be a thriving community, but not much is left. When I was a little girl (probably early 1950's) there was a small store, where I remember an aunt and I getting bottles of cold apple cider. My grandparents lived at Englevale for a few years in the early 1960's, and a couple of my cousins attended the school there at about the same time. I believe the school has since burned. The last time I was there (about 15 years ago), all I saw were maybe twenty or so homes and the cemetery. If you have a Kansas map, Englevale is northwest of Arma and east of Farlington. I know next to nothing of Elijah (born about 1862 in Illinois) and Diana (born about 1856 in Illinois), but I could tell you more of Elijah's parents (Charles Lucas and Sarah Watkins) and Diana's parents (Jacob Workman and his wife Anna). Several of my relatives married into the Lucas and Watkins families.

Hardin is my great uncle. Is there more than one cemetery in Hepler? I had looked on the list at rootsweb. It only has one Hardin in the Hepler Cem. It is an infant named Alford Hardin that lived only 1 month (1920). I do not know who he belonged to. Probably one of my grandmother's brothers. Zachary T. Hardin is Joel P. Hardin's oldest son. He is one that came on the wagon train with his dad, family, and extended family. John T. Hardin is Zachary's oldest son. I do not know who Gladys Hardin is. I am very curious about 3 of my grandmother's brothers. They died young, and she only had any dates for one of them. By digging through records online, I have a little more. John W. Hardin, b: 14 Feb 1893 D: somewhere between 1900 and 1905 Charles Wesley Hardin, b: August 1897 d: between 1900 and 1905 Jack Hardin, b: 1912 was 10 mos. old when he died Are they on your transcription list anywhere? They moved to Crawford Co. after my grandmother was born on 2 Jun 1899 and before the 1900 US Census was taken on the 28 June 1900. The boys would have been buried there. I still haven't done much work on the Shays. I do have some birth and marriage lookups, but I will get back to you tomorrow hopefully. Thank you so much.

In the 1 Mar 1905 Kansas State Census, he and his family lived two doors down from Father Verdan, the priest at St. Aloysius church, and he is listed as a grocer not a farmer.

He died right after moving to KS from KY. His son, Joel B. Hardin, was a farmer in the Hepler area. His daughter's husband, John Shay, was a farmer in Walnut Twp, Bourbon Co. I was so excited when I found a Joel P. Hardin in St. Aloysius Cemetery. I was even more thrilled when I found joel's daughter, Betty Ann Jailey Hardin Shay, there. Unfortunately the dates for Joel P. Hardin are way off 1867-1933. If anyone is visiting this cemetery, I would love it if you check to make sure this Joel's dates weren't entered wrong on the computer.

In both censuses he is at Gross as a boarder living with other coal miners. Apparently, his mother and sister were not living with him. Could he be the Albert Colantoni who appears on the 1930 federal census living at Cameron, Huerfano County, Colorado? Perhaps not related, but there is a John (Giacinto) Colantonio, born about 1886, also born in Italy, on the 1920 census of Ozark, Barton County, Missouri (just over the state line from Gross, Kansas). Giacinto Colantonio is buried at the Rosebank Cemetery at Mulberry, Crawford County, Kansas. Giacinto died in 1921 and apparently his widow Grace then married Jesse M. Morris.
