That is it! I remembered after posting that the baby was born after my dad, and not before, so I am sure that Herbert is the right one. I also typed Edwin A Fritz Jr instead of Edwin A Fritz Sr. Ed Jr was my Dad. And the Anna I'm going to check into. My grandfather had only one sister, Clara, but Anna very likely may have been related to his father, Richard Fritz, in Topeka. All the rest of the Fritz's are in Topeka. I have such good memories of trips up there when we went to visit my grandparents there in Lawrence. Such a beautiful place. Wheat for miles in all directions from my grandparents home, and solid white for miles in the winter.

Hello Listers, My grandparents had a baby that died very young before my father was born on Sept, 1926. That would make the birth of the infant in 1923 to 1925, with the death before 1926. I never new his name (if he even lived long enough to be named), just that it was a boy. How would I go about finding the records for him? My grandparents were married and lived in Lawrence until after retirement. Edwin Albert Fritz Jr. and Mary Gladys Fritz (she always went by Gladys). Thanks for any help. I'm stumped.

Her husband is buried beside Frank, and this is because of a mistake in 1917. Now, Jennie's maiden name is Henderson, and she was raised in Parkersburg, West Virginia, according to my mother, who knew her for about ten years - my mother and father were married during June 1937, in Riley County. This is the problem. My brother says that mother told him that Jenny told her that her father fought with the South. Can this be confirmed? As to Stephen, I have his discharge papers from the "Yankees" - he entered the Northern Army in Wisconsin where he was a farmer, and according to my brother is responsible for the eagle which was used by the northen Army. That eagle was so popular that someone decided to place it on the quarter, hence, the quarter has that eagle, because of my Grandfather!!! Did Jennie's dad fight with the Southern Army?

Mt. Calvary is in the City of Lawrence, and is immediately west of the large Oak Hill cemetery. The St. Johns Catholic Cem. is about 1 mile east of Lawrence along Route 10. It is in section 4, Twp. 13, range 20, if you have a county land map. Per note in the Franklin cem. records, some of the burials at Franklin were later moved to Lawrence's Mt. Calvary. From the Dg. Co. Cemetery book, it would appear that there are tombstones existing in Mt. Calvary for your Lavelle members. There is only a reference to the civil war record mentioned in the Franklin records and it was by records from Susan Alexander of Lawrence, rather than any direct cemetery or tombstone records.

Three of my LAVELLE ancestors, Thomas, Mary & Francis, are listed as being buried at the Mount Calvary Cemetery, City of Lawrence, Wakarusa Township. Also, Thomas Lavelle's name is listed under Civil War Veterans at the Franklin Saint Johns Catholic Cemetery, Wakarusa Township. Mary Lavelle's obituary in 1915, lists her internment at Franklin Cemetery. Are the two cemeteries the same ? Thanks for any help, Dave Lavelle
