Fanning (nee Linden). She died in 1936 (sorry!! exact date unknown!) and is buried in St. Joseph Cemetery in Shawnee. Her husband is Lawrence Fanning who died in 1909. They ae buried together @ St. Joseph's. I am perplexed as to where she was living in 1930-1936. I can not find her in 1930 in Monticello where they lived from 1870's on. I find a Mary Fanning, widow of a correct age living on her own in KC but can't figure out why that would be when she had sons, daughters and numerous grandchildren residing in Monticello/Shawnee/Olathe. Hoping her obituary might give some clue. Many thanks!! KF Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It is still possible he could be in and unknown grave in the Potter's field porion. In case you didn't know, the FISH name goes back to the (Pascal) Fish band of Shawnee that were on the Shawnee Reservation.

The newspaper microfilm for the "Olathe Mirror" newspaper for December 1891 - January 1892 was not in the shelf tonight when I went to the library. Either another patron was using it, or it was out for repairs/research. The Kansas State Historical Society will have a copy of the newspaper microfilm available for interlibrary loan.
