I have a step- relative on the 1859 Kansas Territorial Census that I don't find again until 1880. In 1859 he is in Clinton twp, Douglas County and in 1880 I pick him up again in Wyandotte. In 1871 he married my ggg-grandmother, who was evidently raising my gg-grandfather as a single parent after emigrating from Canada. These are my speculations, for what they're worth: 1) There was so much turbulence in Kansas at the end of the 1850's that people fled back into Missouri, Iowa or Illinois 2) It seems as though there was much movement right before the Civil War. Is it possible that your relative had other relatives out of Kansas that he joined? I'm going through the census images page by page now, because without this link between Canada and Kansas I'm stuck. If I come up with anything with the name you're looking for I'll post a note here with the page reference for you. Good luck!

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lillian ARMSTRONG taken at the Squires Studio in Lawrence, Kansas. The photograph is dated April 2, 1905 and Lillian appears to be about one year of age at the time. I'm hoping to find someone from Lillian's family so that this precious old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

In response to the question as to purchase of the Douglas Co. Cemetery Tombstone Census books--They were available a couple years ago and I believe they still had copies available. The costs were: Vol, 1 (Lawrence City) $35 Vol. 2, (remainder of county) $40 If the purchaser is from Kansas, need to add sales tax. Postage is included in the price. Order from: Douglas Co. KS Gen. Soc. P. O. Box 3664 Lawrence, KS 66046-0664

None were in our index of newspapers for that period. The papers then were Kansas Daily Republican and Republican Daily Journal. Microfilm copies are in the library and can also be borrowed from the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka. Maple grove Cemetery was in use then but no Carmichael listed. The sexton at Oak Hill and Maple Grove has an email address. Mitch Young at MLyoung@ci.lawrence.ks.us. He might have a record.

Diana The Douglas Co. Gen. Soc. published two books of the tombstones in Douglas Co. cemeteries (one book for Lawrence and one for the remainder of the county). Neither of them list any Carmichael tombstones for the time period you are seeking. Now as to possibility of an obituary--It is not likely that one would be published. It was not a common practice in those days to have an obituary for a deceased infant child. But there was sometimes a death notice in the newspaper. It often read "The infant son of Tom Jones died last week." There were newspapers in publication in Lawrence during that period. The more likely newspapers to check would be: Kansas Daily Tribune (Lawrence) Film # L-661 Dec. 14, 1870 - June 25, 1871 Film # L-662 June 27, 1871 - Jan. 7, 1872 Kansas Weekly Tribune Film * L-2971 9 May 1867 - Aug. 10, 1872 Those are avail. through Kansas Historical Soc. interlibrary loan. There are also copies at the Lawrence Public Library. I'd be willing to read microfilm at the Lawrence Library covering about a week's period after birth/death date to see if I coulfd find anything. At best, it will be unlikely to tell us much detail.
