I hate it when someone is lost in the census. 1930 would have made her abt. 67 so she may be buried somewhere in that area. Interesting that she was with one child and William with another. I'm assuming that you are familiar with their origins in Iowa/Indiana and have checked if they might have been buried there.

I understand that first wife Eliza Ellen WOOD would help explain the age difference between Zachariah and Elizabeth ROGERS FETTY. However, question is was Elizabeth ROGERS FETTY, aka Lizza FETTY, wife #2 or #3. And, if not #3, where does Caroline FETTY fit in. There aren't a lot of FETTY's around Osage Co, or Franklin Co, KS. Would enjoy seeing your LaRando Brown Fetty family tree, where can I find it? I'll take a 'rain check' on that other GGfather at the moment. Better tend to my own 'knitting'.

I have contacted the Osage county folks they did not find a listing of any burial of William Fetty. I can't remember if I asked for an obit or not. I will contact them again. I have Zachriah's first wife as Eliza Ellen Wood buried in Decator Iowa. She died when thier 2 children were very young and Zachariah was living with her parents. Then then the next census he was in an inmate in the state mental hospital. Then after that he married again. Take a look at my tree if you are interested. LaRando Brown Fetty family tree. Thanks so much this has been a great help. Maydean Fetty Tilton ps I got another great grandfather who was an orphan if you run out of stuff to do you can help me find his childhood home.

I found Zachariah FETTY and family in the 1910 census. They had moved from Osage Co. into Franklin Co., Greenwood Township really only a few miles. By 1920 I do not find Zachariah, presumably he is deceased, but I do find Lizza A. FETTY and the two youngest children still living in Franklin Co. By 1930 I don't find any FETTYs in this area. Finally after many dead ends (no pun intended), I found Zachariah and Elizabeth A. FETTY's burial on Find-a-Grave. They are buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery, Pomona, Franklin, KS. I will attempt to attach the photo here but don't know if the Rootsweb site will accept attachments/inserts? (or the link is http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=FETTY&GSiman=1&GScid=94103&GRid=64353648& ) Zachariah was b. 1848, d. 1917, and Elizabeth b. 1865 and d. 1951. There is also a picture/listing for Lizzy A. FETTY, with same birth and death dates so I assume it's a foot stone for Elizabeth above. Four other FETTYs are buried in this cemetery Emma FETTY, 1892 -1918, (presumably daughter of Zachariah and Elizabeth) and Jesse A. FETTY (son of Zachariah and Elizabeth) 1911-1977, and Velma Rose (Ramshaw) FETTY 1915-2005, wife of Jesse. And finally, Hattie Leona (FETTY) THORNBRUGH 1897-1943 (wife of Frank THORNBRUGH), she was a daughter of Zachariah FETTY and Elizabeth ROGERS FETTY. But alas, nothing on your William. So, I'm out of on-line search ideas for William. Another suggestion, is to contact the Osage County Historical Society (http://www.osagechs.org/research.htm). They have an extensive collection of obituaries back to the 1880s, with over 43,000 names and do research for a modest fee (see website for details on cost). Their on-line index lists only one FETTY, Mrs. Caroline E. FETTY, but they do have other research resources. It might be worth a shot. Eldon P.S. Given that Elizabeth was several years younger than Zachariah and there are step-children listed in the census records for Zachariah and Elizabeth, Mrs. Caroline A. FETTY may be a first wife of Zachariah and Elizabeth his second. Since I never found a burial listing for a Caroline FETTY either, the obituary (if she is Zachariah's first wife) might provide some additional leads regarding burial location. William may have been buried but no stone placed. However, there are internment records for some of the cemeteries. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Bessie CONNER (sorry but I think they changed the spelling of the surname, almost every reference I found was spelled with an 'ER') married Chancey R. BIXLER in Osage Co., KS on 10 Sep 1911. In the 1920 census Chancelor R. BIXLER, age 29, Bessie M. BIXLER, age 30, and children Oma B. BIXLER, age 6, Omar R. BIXLER, age 6, and Loyd (sic) W. BIXLER, age 6m, were all living in , Jackson, Missouri. I could not find them in the 1930 census. I did not find any marriage data for Fred Clarence, or Mabel CONNOR, or CONNER, in Osage Co. In the 1930 census; William CONNER, age 77, is living with his son Clarince (sic) CONNER, age 41, wife Hazel M. CONNER, age 42, and their daughter Gertrude Fay CONNER, age 11 in Wharton, Wharton, Texas. William was listed as born Indiana abt. 1853, and both his parents were both born Indiana. This matches well with the data from the 1920 census when he was living in , Osage, Kansas. Also, Clarince (sic) CONNER was born in Kansas abt. 1889 with father born Indiana and mother born Iowa which also matches. So I think this is your Fred Clarence CONNOR. I tried to find this family in the 1920 census without success. (It's interesting to note that there is a family in , Matagorda, Texas with similar names and ages that keeps popping up in the 1920 census. The father is Clement F. CONNER b. abt. 1890, mother Hazel M. CONNER, b. abt. 1889, and daughter Gertrude F. CONNER, b. about 1911. Due to significant difference in the girls ages and the discrepancies in the birth places of the parents of Clement and Hazel, I'm pretty sure this is NOT your Fred CONNOR.) I was not successful in finding any burial data for any of this family. I looked on www.internment.net at all the cemeteries in the north end of Osage Co., KS with no luck. (There are three CONNORS burials in the Burlingame cemetery, two adults and an infant. They may be related. If you would like that info. I'll be happy to provide it.) I also searched www.findagrave.com for the entire US for the names; William, James, Belle, Isabelle, Demaris, and Mabel with no success on any of them. Looked at the SSDI for the Fred Clarence CONNER and Bessie BIXLER and spouses, there are several Fred and Clarence CONNOR's and CONNER's listed. The best fit might be Fred CONNOR b. 07 Aug 1877 and d. Jul 1971 with last address of Daingerfield, Morris, Texas, but I couldn't rule out others. There are also several Hazel CONNOR's and CONNER's, none conclusive. (Beware the above CONNER's of , Matagorda, Texas as they show up here also.) Found a Bessie BIXLER, b. 24 Jan 1890 and d. Jan 1987 ( 97 years old is pretty good!) with last address Grand Prairie, Dallas, Texas. Highly likely she is of your family. Did not find anything for Chancelor/Chancey BIXLER. There is an Omar L. BIXLER, b. 1 Feb 1913 and died 22 May 2005 with last address of Searcy, White, Arkansas and a Lloyd BIXLER b. 1 Apr 1918 and d. 23 July 1992 with last address of Orange Park, Clay, Florida. Nothing on Oma BIXLER, but if married her name would change for the SSDI. A suggestion, is to contact the Osage County Historical Society (http://www.osagechs.org/research.htm). They have an extensive collection of obituaries back to the 1880s, with over 43,000 names and do research for a modest fee (see website for details on cost). Their on-line index lists six CONNOR obituaries including a William CONNOR and 3 CONNORS obituaries. Also, four CONNER and one CONNERS obituaries. Only William CONNOR appears to match your family names, but some of the others just might (?) be related and provide additional clues. Good Luck!
