Hello Dianna Jo, I have copies of the obituaries for Lorraine (Bates) Buehler and Ezra Christian Buehler. The article about Lorraine gives her parents as Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Bates of Topeka, but does not give the maiden name nor given name for her mother, who survived. The 3 daughters were: Phyllis, Rosemary, & Beatrice. Mr. Buehler, was married a 2nd time on 21 March 1948, and was survived by wife, Lois Ann Greelees. It was also interesting that the info. on Lorraine is in a new article on the front page and there was no obituary, though all the obit info. was contained in the article. Since they are quite lenghty, it would be easier to mail you the copies. Need a mailing address to accomplish this, however.

Hello Dianna, There is a good probability that the obits exist in the microfilm copies of the Lawrence Journal-World that are available at the Lawrence Public library. I'll be there in the next week or so, and will check if you don't find someone there sooner. They are both buried at the Memorial Park cemetery in Lawrence. He was born in 1894 and she in 1896. If the obits don't have the family info. we can look elsewhere.

They may have been sent out for rebinding. 1875-6 was the closest and contained no Crites names.

One method of checking on H. T. Jones would be by using the city directories for that period. They are available at the Lawrence Public library. There are probably records at the Court House and/or Historical Society regarding county officials, but they are not as easily accessible. There were several newspapers in Lawrence at that time. However, the main one was the Lawrence Journal-World, which operated from 1911 and is still in operation. Previous to that, there was the Lawrence Journal from 1879-1911 and the Lawrence World from 1892 to 1911, when they combined. There was also the Lawrence Daily Gazette 1885-1920. The Lawrence Democrat 1910-1942 and the Lawrence Germainia 1891-1918. Microfilm copies of the Lawrence Journal, Lawrence World, and Lawrence Journal-World are avaiable for research at the Lawrence Public library as are some of the newspapers. Microfilm is also available at Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka and/or can be obtained by interlibrary loan from them. Contact me directly if you need further help.

Well, it took me a while because one thing lead to the next. The earlier marriage license (no marriage) was for Annie COOK, age 40, of Douglas County to James M. HENDRY, age 22 of Douglas County, dated August 17, 1880, and signed by James M. HENDRY, Probate Judge. That certainly left me wondering. James M. Hendry officiated at many weddings and his name appears over and over again on marriage records of that period. 22 seemed a little young for Probate Judge, too. I decided to see what I could find out about James M. Hendry. He was born 1825 in Tennessee. Came to Kansas in 1857. Became Probate Judge in 1862 and held the position 10 years, and then was elected again in 1878. He married Rebecca F. Whittemore in 1849 in Ohio. They had 2 daughters, one died in infancy. They brought up 5 other children who were orphans or from family and friends. Was very well respected. He died age 69 in 1895. At his death he left a wife and daughter, the latter made her home with her father. That doesn't help at all does it! I had thought the ages might be transposed, or that this might be his son. And he would surely know he could not officiate at his own wedding (and that he was already married). A joke? A mistake? It's very odd and I don't understand, tho there certainly could be many possiblities. So, the earlier marriage record seems to be no help at all. Sorry. I'll keep Annie Cook in mind as I do further research. And will forward the photo I have with her name on it directly to your email. Perhaps you'll know if it's really her.

Vanette, Annie Cook is an interesting puzzle that I've been meaning to give some time to. I've seen this marriage to McGonigal, but there is an earlier marriage license (no marriage) of an Annie Cook of Lawrence and I've wondered if they were the same. My interest in Annie Cook is because I have a photo labeled Annie Cook, taken in Lawrence, in the album that belonged to my great-grandmother and her mother. They lived near LeLoup, and Ottawa (both Franklin County) and near Wellsville (Johnson County) on farms, so I don't know how they might have known Annie Cook, but they seem to have known her well enough to have kept her photo. I had surmised that the Cook family lived in southern Douglas county and they might have known each other through church or socially, since that would put them geographically closer. Let me hunt out that earlier marriage and I'll post that back to you. I can also share the photo, but not via the list, since the list doesn't allow attachments. Glad you posted this question!
