Hi Lois Kay, Thank you for the family information. I have a very poor copy of an obit from Dec 21 1900 stating Catherine Willis was b Dec 21 1823 Shiremanstown PA, now living with her brother Daniel since her husbands death, she and her husband had come to KS in 1888. She was to be buried in Hepler. he brother Daniel b Shiremanstown PA 1810 died after returning home from attending her funeral. He was at the home of a daugher. J.W. Freeman 4 miles north of Walnut. I wonder if there were some cemetery reocrds lost due to destruction of headstones, or maybe they were not marked?
