I am interested in the Oscar and Lelia WARE family who lived in Big Bend and Union, Republic, KS from somewhere around 1875 to at least 1900. Her mother, Nancy "Jane" Hazelton lived with them in her later years and may have died in 1891 in Republic. Is she buried there? The Ware children are Walter, Alma, Mabel, Minnie, Essie, Stella, Lora and Ruth. Any information on this family, especially burial or death information on Jane Hazelton would be most welcome. Thank you.
