This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cm.2ADI/162.1 Message Board Post: I suggest you transfer your query to the Osborne county, Kansas board. Your grandmother was born in Downs, in Osborne coutny. However, her place of marriage, Scottsville, is indeed in Mitchell county, at the extreme northeast corner of the county. Scottsville now is almost a ghost town : perhaps 3 businesses and perhaps 15 residences. It is nearly equidistant between Beloit, in Mitchell county, and Concordia, in Cloud county. I have no information about Galena, not even to corroborate that is in Cherokee CO. Kansas. Best of luck in your search. Thomas Kohn
