I don' t think either Rees or Thomas Powell married, and I don't think William Powell et al are family. Elizabeth, Rees, Thomas and Sarah left Wales (Crickhowell) after the father of the family died, Frederick (I think) - Elizabeth was my great great grandmother, but my great grandfather John Powell, did not emigrate to the USA. I need to do more research, but Frederick I believe was a tenant farmer and times were tough, so when he passed, it is possible that Eliabeth and her children were obliged to leave the farm. Rees sponsored Fred Powell (his nephew and my great uncle)(b 1896) when he emigrated to the USA in the 1920's, and he in turn sponsored his sister, Gwladys and her husband Stan Shepherd. Both Gwladys and Stan and Fred and his wife had children, but I've reached a dead end here. If I can help with Lewis research, please let me know, although it is not an uncommon name in Wales! With best wishes Sarah Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: mickmickel Surnames: Powell, Hilding, Poteet Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.osage/39.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, I have no idea if DHollowBush52 is still on this forum since their post was over ten years ago. So I decided to see what I could find for you on your Powells. Consider it a RAOGK. I first find the Powell family in Kansas in the 1895 Kansas state census living in Arvonia township. Members are Thomas, Rees, Sarah and mother Elizabeth. Also living nearby is William and Anna Powell. I suspect he may be an older brother but perhaps not. There was also a David Powell b. abt. 1870, since this is the same year as Thomas, I suspect he is not of this family. He could not be found again. They did not appear to be in the 1880 US census and the US census for 1890 was lost to a fire. I found no evidence of a father having come to the USA in any of the data located. In the 1900 US census the same family is intact; but in Lebo city, Coffey county, Kansas. Ress (sic) B. Powell, b. Sept 1867, Thomas b. May 1870, Sarah b. Sept 1872, and Elizabeth Powell b. May 1825. William F. Powell was listed as born Apr 1862 and his wife Annie as b. Feb 1874 in Wales. Wm. and Annie had two children Rosey (sic) b. Apr 1895 and Murtle (sic) Powell b. Jan 1897. Wm. and Annie lived in Arvonia twnsp, Osage Co. (Note: Arvonia and Lebo are about 4 miles apart, with the rural Arvonia township running up the Osage/Coffey county border.) In the 1910 census Rais (sic) B. Powell and the same members were living in Arvonia township, Osage county, Kansas. Ages varied by a few years from census to census which is a bit confusing, but I'll just leave you with the birth month/year as recorded in the 1900 data above. The 1910 data recorded immigration years, they were; Rees 1885, Thomas 1880, and Sarah 1885, Elizabeth, not given. William Powell was listed as immigrating in 1885 also, which suggested to me that he might be part of the same family as Rees, Thomas and Sarah. Annie Powell's immigration yr. was 1887. William and Annie were married in 1894 and by 1910 had five children Roslan (sic) 15, Myrtle 13, Elizabeth 8, Ira B. 5, and Virgil 7 months. In 1920 census; Reese (sic) B. Powell and Thomas were living in Arvonia twnsp, immigration yr listed here as 1886 with both being naturalized in 1906. Sarah and Elizabeth were not in this census (see cemetery data later). A Lucy Maloney 59 was living with them as a servent. Willaim F. Powell 55 and wife Annie 45 and four children were listed in this census Arvonia twnsp., Osage co.; Rosaland 25, Myrtle 22, Elizabeth 18, and Virgil 10. No naturalizations were listed for William and Annie. In the 1930 census, Reese (sic) B. and Tom Powell were still living in Arvonia twnsp. with Mary Kinner 39 a servant and Andy Maloney a boarder. Their immiagation year is listed here as 1874 (this would have made them only 7 and 4 at the time, I think the 1885 date is more likely). William and Anna Powell had moved to Grant township and were living with the two youngest childrem Elizabeth 28 and Virgil 20. (This is about 10 miles north of Arvonia.) Two marriages were found; Rosaland Powell married L.D. Poteet, Jun 22, 1920, and Myrtle Powell married to Carl E. Hilding June 15, 1929. In the 1930 census Carl and Myrtle Hilding are living in Grant twnsp., Osage co., Kansas. A Rosalynd (sic) Poteet b. abt 1896 in Kansas, married, parents both b. Wales was living as a lodger in the Phillip Sherwood household in El Paso, Texas. I did not find marriage info for Elizabeth or Virgil Powell. The following burial data was found all for the Arvonia Cemetery, Osage co., Kansas; Powell, Annie M, b. Feb 9, 1874, d. Aug 9, 1936 Powell, Elizabeth, b. May 15, 1825, d. Aug 8, 1913, born in Brechenshire, Wales Powell, Fredrick I, b. Jan 11, 1899, d. Jul 15, 1899, infant s/o W F & A M Powell, Ira Bievan, b. May 25, 1904, d. Feb 7, 1911, son of W F & A M Powell, Rees B, b. Sep 16, 1866, d. Feb 17, 1940 Powell, Sarah A, b. Sep 8, 1874, d. May 24, 1913 Powell, Virgil S, b. 1909, d. 1969 Powell, William F, b. Apr 1, 1862, d. Nov 15, 1936 Finally, the Osage County Historical Society has an extensive collection of obituaries clipped from local newspapers. They wil copy and send these for a modest fee. See www.osagechs.org/OBIT_MASTER_INDEX.htm . Obituarys are listed in the index for; William F. (this might conclusively prove/disproved if he is a brother to Rees, Thomas, and Sarah), Annie, Rees Bievan, Ira Bievan, Myrtle G. (Powell) Hilding, and Eliza Powell (not sure if this is the mother, William's daughter, or an unrelated person.) It appears the only possilbe decendants of this family in the area might be from Carl and Myrtle Powell Hilding. Again Myrtle's obituary might provide the best leads to any living descendants. (Assuming William was in fact a brother to Rees.) Hope the above is of use. Eldon P.S. I will try to contact you regards your Lewis tree on Ancestry, as my greatgrandparents were Lewis from Wales.

Jack, I offer the following facts found from various sources, I'll leave it up to you to "connect the dots" or not, as appropriate. Per the Kansas 4th District court records of marriages-Osage Co.; Lula A. Hayson married William E. Reiser on 01 Feb, 1894. Lula Reiser married Anthony Foster on 13 Mar 1901. No marriage found in Osage Co., for Lula Foster or Peter Atkinson. Per the 1895 Kansas state census Vol 274, page 46: living in Osage Co., Burlingame township, Atkinson family, all born in England; J.A. age 44, A. age 35, Peter age 18, Sarah age 16, John age 9, Willie age 7, Joseph age 4 and Andrew age 1. Also, Vol 274, page 22, living same location the Reiser family; E. age 52 b. Germany, K. age 44 b. Europe, Leo J. age 18 b. KS, W.E. age 21, b. KS, L. A. age 21 b. Missouri, and M.A. age 2 months b. KS (I'm guessing the last three are William E., Lula A, and Myrtle A. all still living with his parents). Per Interment.com data for the Burlingame Cemetery, Osage Co. KS: William Reiser 1874-1895; Anthony Foster, 8 Mar 1878- 16 Dec 1903; Peter Atkinson, no dates available, IR (interment record) only; and Stella Pearl Atkinson, no dates, infant, IR only. Finally, I could not find any of the four members of the 1910 Peter Atkinson family in the 1920 US census. And I did not find a marriage for Lula Atkinson or Myrtle Atkinson in either Osage or Franklin Co., KS.

Also, wanted to add to Vanette's comment about funeral homes. I'm doubtful about the Feltner Funeral Home having information this far back. Feltner's is the successor to the Shaffer Funeral home which was in Lyndon, KS in mid 1900s. Shaffer succeeded the Rock Funeral home also of Lyndon in the early part of the 1900's. I'm not actually sure when Rock FH started business but I doubt that it was as early as 1892. In any case, the records for the Rock FH are held by the Lyndon (KS) Library. The funeral home in Osage City for many years was the McElfresh FH, although I have no idea when it started, I know it was in business in the 1930s. It was succeeded by the Crable FH (may have retained McElfresh as part of the name) in the later part of the 1900's. That funeral home was sold a few years ago to the VanArsdales, who also own the FH in Lebo, KS. It is still in business in Osage City, KS. Good luck with your search!

Kim Baker Topeka, Kansas _____ Death of Mrs. John Smith Our citizens, especially the older settlers, were shocked Sunday morning by the sad news of the death of Mrs. John Smith which occurred at her late home in Dragoon township, southwest of this city, Saturday night about 12 o'clock, of heart failure. Mrs. Smith's maiden name was Eliza Graham. She was born in Venango county, Pennsylvania, October 24th, 1820, making her seventy-six years of age last month. In 1847 she was married to Mr. John Smith and in the spring of 1855 they moved to Kansas, being among our earliest settlers. They preempted their present homestead on the Dragoon where they have resided for the past forty-one years, enduring all the hardships and privations of pioneer life. Mrs. Smith was an exemplary type of true womanhood. Into her home she brought those habits of industry and frugality which have characterized her through life; to her husband she gave that wifely devotion that sealed her lips to all complaint or censure; to her children, who are all grown, and can realize their irreparable loss, she at all times gave the love of an affectionate and indulgent mother. Her life was truly an example of the religion she professed, devoid of ostentatious display. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, four of whom are living and all reside within a few hours ride of the old home. W. H. Smith, superintendent of the county farm; Frank, Mary, and Mrs. Headington, wife of County Superintendent Headington. The funeral was held at the home on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. , Rev. P. Beverly conducting the services, after which her remains, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, were laid to rest in the Burlingame cemetery. To the husband, the children and the relatives is extended the sincere sympathy of many friends who mourn with them in their sudden, indeed sad and irreparable loss.
