I'm needing obits. and birth and death certs. from 1935 on back to 1884. Any help and info is greatly appreciated! Karla

Hello, Esther Zimmerman SEIDEL once -and only once- told me that she had heard about a lynching in Mitchell county. My hazy memory tells me that a horse was stolen and when the culprit was found, he was hanged. I do not think there was an arrest or a trial.... This may have happened more often that we know. Anyone remember hearing about this kind of frontier justice? Donna SEIDEL Topeka

Could some kind person please send me the address (or better yet, the e-mail address) of the Mitchell County Museum? I am trying to find information on the Jacob McKee family that lived in Mitchell Co in the 1860-1900 time frame. Another McKee searcher said the Museum has a file on this family . The youngest son, Anthony, was killed while robbing a bank . . . .guess you could say he died as a result of a "job related accident"! I'd like to know more about this incident. Thanks in advance.

Hi List: I am doing a one name study on the name COVEY. If anyone has run across any of these folks I would certainly appreciate hearing from you. My direct line goes back to 1639 in Braintree, Massachusettes. I'm now trying to fatten the tree and perhaps add a little color. Thanks in advance for your efforts.
