It looks as if Clifford was in the 1930 US Census in Lawrence Township, Cloud County, Kansas. Cloud County borders Republic to the south. It would be good to post this request in that county, also. The father, Jess E, has a WWI draft card on file that shows his birthplace as Rice, Cloud county, Kansas. In 1920, he and Flora are in Arion, Cloud, Kansas. The 1910 census shows that Jess was part of a VERY large family. I'll post it below. I know they are all related because of the birthplaces of the heads. There should be someone from this family left in Cloud county or Republic. Clifford may simply have registered from Republic or the family may have ended up there, because in the 1930 census, they are only renting. I am not in Republic or Cloud or anywhere near or I would try to look up a cemetery listing and then obit for the father or mother. That, in turn, will get the names of living family that can be found through public records listings. I hope someone else will do the groundwork in Republic or Cloud. I'll be happy to use Ancestry for the public records.

Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 18 families in Kansas that have not been located. There is one family from Republic County that has not been located. > > When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency. > > I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family. > > Harold Davis > 40th Infantry Division > Korea '52-'53 > 910-791-2333 > hgdavis@bellsouth.net > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
