This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Leighton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Zl.2ADI/162 Message Board Post: I am looking for info on John Arthur Leighton who left Cleveland, OHIO around 1916 after a divorce and settled in Lawrence Kansas where he owned 10 acres of land. He probably died in early 1920 (according to his brothers obit), and is listing in the 1920 census in Lawrence. Any local death or burial records/indexes? Why did he move here from Cleveland? Did he remarry? He was born Mar 28, 1863 in Cleveland.

Here is what I find in the "Tombstone Census" by the Dg. Co. Gen. Soc. I don't understand exactly how the stone is marked, but will give it exactly as reported in the book, all under the Leighton surname heading. (An obit might give answers to your other questions, if one exists.) Oak Hill Cem., City of Lawrence, Section 8 (North) LEIGHTON John A., Mar. 28, 1864-Jan. 29, 1920 (front side) C. HENSON, Jan 26, 1867 - ? M. E., wife, Aug. 25, 1867-May 29, 1922 ------------------------------------------------------ radevries1@hotmail.com wrote: I am looking for info on John Arthur Leighton who left Cleveland, OHIO around 1916 after a divorce and settled in Lawrence Kansas where he owned 10 acres of land.
