Vanderlip, son of Jay and Martha French Vanderlip, was born March 31, 1853, in East Dorset, Vermont. When he was between two and three years old his parents moved to Wisconsin where he grew to manhood in Manitowoc County. Charles and Sarah Flansburgh were united in marriage on May, 31, 1874. They had one daughter born in Wisconsin, Ida M., December 24, 1874. She married Francis W. Cadoret, October 6, 1894, and died on February 28, 1956.

She married Henry Glodfelty on April 28, 1898, and died March 28, 1941. Charles, his brother Hiram, and their father built sod houses and homesteaded near each other, their homes being one-quarter mile from the same four corners. All three lived on their homesteads until the time of their deaths. A younger brother, Norman J., lived on his brother's farm after the death of Jay. Charles' first wife, Sarah, died February 9, 1882, and she was the first person buried in the new Ash Rock Cemetery. On December 10, 1882, Charles married Calista Rogers, daughter of George W. and Mahalah Hammond Rogers, born October 8, 1861. Calista came to Kansas in 1870 with her parents and family traveling in two covered wagons drawn by ox teams. In 1871 her parents homesteaded in Washington County, and they came to southwest Smith County in 1875. They settled in Ash Rock Township in 1878.

I have a copy of a book on Rooks Co., KS, "Lest We Forget", there is a George N. Wolf family listed. The first paragraph says: "George N. and wife, Clara Wolf, came to Rooks County in 1880, moving from Solomon City, Kansas, to Stockton where they managed a department store for many years." The article is a little over 2 columns long and contains quite a lot of information. If this is your family I will be glad to scan it for you. "Lest We Forget" was published by the Rooks County Historical Society in about 1981. I don't know if anymore are available or not.

Surnames: Smith, Harris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xm.2ADE/147.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for that info. I don't think it could have been the 1911 copy of whatever book you were looking at, since Solon's daughters were not born until after 1921, I think. But it is something I will check out, so thanks for letting me know. As far as I know my Smiths have no connections with a Rose Smith or James Cyrus, although with a name like Smith you never know! Solon was my great-great uncle, and his parents, my G-G-Grandparents were Charles William Smith and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ann Williams, who lived most of their lives and died in Kansas. My Smith line has been traced back to either the late 1700's or early 1800's in New Hampshire and went through New York and Wisconsin before Kansas, and then eventually Texas. I don't have my info as I am logged onto a relative's computer since mine has crashed, or I could give you more specific info - names and dates. If anything sounds like it might be connected to your info, let me know and I can look at my info and give you spec! ifics. Thanks for your response! Leah

I happened to run across the following and jotted down the info. on a scrap of paper: Mr. and Mrs. Solon W. Smith (Maiden name Rose Harris) 213 E 14th St, Oklahoma City. Roesmary and Barbara. Rose went to OU and was a Tri-Delt. They belonged to several other clubs/organizations. I found this (I think) in a "Blue Book" in the "Oklahoma Room" at thte library. It might have been the 1911 copy, I'm not sure. There is more info. and might even be pictures, (there were a lot of debutante pics). They aren't the Smith's that I needed but could be relatives, (James Cyrus and Rose Smith).

Pam, I have a listing of people buried in the Plainville Cemetery (both the Catholic & Protestant) I could not find a listing for your gggrandmother's name. I checked all the M's and also under Doig. Are you sure she was buried in the Plainville Cemetery? I also checked all the obit's & death notices that are in the Plainville Times - Nothing The only thing that I could find on Morison or Morrison was that a family by the name Morrison that use to live in Rooks County, moved to Russell County about 1899 and then back again to Rooks county in 1910 to Stockton. They had a daughter named Helen Morrison, born March 18, 1892. That Helen married a John Snyder. She died May 21, 1975. Did the Rooks County Death Book give any other information? Where did you find this death book? I would also have to guess the E. stood for her husband's first name. There are several small cemeteries in Rooks County, I also looked through what listings I have. Nothing. I dont have a listing for the Stockton Cemetery, but you might try getting ahold of Rooks County Assessor, they should have the name of who is in charge on the Stockton Cemetery (or who they send the tax statement to) They are located in the courthouse in Stockton, the phone # is 785-425-6262. The only other thing that I could think of is to get in touch with the Smith-Moore-Overleas Funeral Home which handles both Plainville & Stockton, their # is 785-425-6761. Otherwise there is Smith Monuments Inc located in Stockton, they have handle the headstones for Rooks County area for years, phone# 785-425-6762.

Jackie, My grgrgrandmother's name was Helen (Doig) Morison, but she was listed in the Rooks Co. Death Book as "Mrs. E. (Ellen?) Morison". I have been trying to verify her birthdate and thought maybe the tombstone would have a date on it. She could also be listed as "Morrison" (the double 'r' ) though our family spelled it with one 'r'. Not sure how the Helen got into Ellen, but maybe because of her Scottish pronunciation? Any info as to how I can speak to someone at the cemetery is very, very, very much appreciated!!!
