Wow! That is INTERESTING. I wonder how many men did the same. Just moved and married again. Years ago there would not have been good checks in place to know if that happened. Maybe you will luck out and find that Blanche and Arthur were married in Bates county, since you know, from the obit, that he lived there and her daughters remained. Hopefully, it will turn out to be her home town and she even went back from KC. And do try the Nat Archives, if you have not. I wonder also what effects the gas from WWI had. There might be some articles or someone on a military board might know if that made men "live dangerously". Congratulations to you. It sounds like you have found a lot of very good info. I know that it couldn't have been easy. Your mother is very lucky to have you working on this.

That's a very interesting story and I truly hope you can get whatever info your mother would like. If I may ask, what exactly are you looking for? You seem to know who the father is. Do you know who the mother was or are you looking for her? Or are you just looking for any info that might lead you to living relatives that you can find? If you are looking for the mother, may I suggest that you try the birth announcements in the Kewanee newspapers for 1937, if you have not already. Many papers posted birth announcements and I have read that sometimes the hospitals "blew "it and posted the birth announcement with both mother and father listed even though there was an adoption that was pending.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HAB.2ACI/848.1.1.1 Message Board Post: You're welcome. It is very hard to know who, outside of residents of Kansas City, MO, would post obituaries in the Kansas City Star/Times. There is a chance that someone in Bates county would. Butler is now almost a suburb for KCMO, but that has not always been the case.There are probably little local papers and they may read/use the Springfield, Greene county MO, paper. If you are looking for the step-daughters and think they might have stayed in Butler through death, it's best to ask the librarian or that Bates county message board for advice. I did do a Kansas City, MO, newspapers search for Blanch Albright, also spelled it Blanche, and nothing came up. That doesn't mean that she didn't die here. The searches seem to be incomplete and there is a gap in the digital papers between the early 1960s and then the obituary collection that they have for about 1996-2006. The gap has to be searched on microfilm and that is a royal pain if you don't have a date. Your idea to look for her in the KC directories is probably a good one. At least to see when she disappeared from the area or if she was ever listed. You might post a request to the Jackson County message board. If I am in the downtown KC library and have time, I will try to remember. If you have Blanch's birthdate, and have not done a Social Security search, I will be happy to do one for you. That sometimes gives the last place of residence. Since Arthur was a veteran, the military files in the National Archive may contain pension information. That might include any payments to the widow and where she lived. I'm not sure who to ask about that. Perhaps an e-mail to the Archive itself would get you an answer. I know that I have traced Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War widows through the info out of the Archive. I just don't know anything about WWI. The files that I've gotten from the earlier wars have just been marvelous and contained more info that I could ever have imagined, including marriage dates and places, etc. I also suggest that you see if you can get any sense, perhaps from Butler, MO, directories, of whether the step-daughters stayed in Bates county. They may have married there. Again, researchers in Bates might have some good ideas. Good luck, Patricia

Thank you again for all your help and efforts. We did find the burial for Laura Russell, at the Maple Hill Cemetery. It took place on November 1, 1910. The spelling on the stone is Lurana Russell, although the office has the record as Laura Russell. She is buried next to Anna and Fred Lyons who both died in 1907. Her stone is made of limestone and a lot of the lettering has weathered off, but it looks like birth date of Dec. ?, 181?, and death date Oct. 30, 1910. I do have an alternate date of birth of Dec. 6, 1818 for Laura, which is noted in another researchers papers. Could you possibly check an earlier census to see if Anna and Fred Lyons are listed? thank you again, karna
