    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YAB.2ACI/4515.1 Message Board Post: Theresa, I read your query about Alta St. Clair. I found a few things that may help with your research. In the past 26 years I have bought a few rolls of micrfilm of the old Breckinridge News, and I extracted obituaries out of them. Luckily 1960, 1961 and 1978 are among the microfilm that I bought. I found the obit for your Alta St. Clair Hendrick in 1961, and her husband, Glenn Emory Hendrick who died in 1978. I also found the obituary for Alta's sister, Mildred Elizabeth St. Clair Henderson, and Glenn Hendrick's 2nd wife, Agnes. Mildred's husband is Peyton Jesse Henderson, buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery at Irvington in Breckinridge County, Ky. Peyton and Mildred have a tombstone. I've been taking the Breckinridge County Herald-News since May 1980 and have saved all the obituaries. Which is where I got the obits for Mildred Henderson and Agnes Hendrick.

Cedar Hill Cemetery, Irvington, Breckinridge County, Ky Henderson, Peyton Jesse 1885 - 1985 Henderson, Mildred St. Clair 1895 - 1990 St. Clair, James Vinson 1866 - 1935 St. Clair, Maggie Durham 1871 - 1955 Gilpin, Jesse Lee Jan 08, 1915 - __________ Gilpin, Hilda Henderson Nov 03, 1921 - ________ The Gilpin death dates were empty when the cemetery was last copied. I got the names and dates from Breckinridge County, Ky Cemetery Books, volumes 1 & 2. I think Vol 2 was published around 1995. I believe I found Glenn Hendrick's full name on his WW I Draft Card. I must have forgotten to copy the info down, so if you don't have access to Ancestry.com's databases, please let me know, and I will be happy to look it up again. It gives Glenn's full name and date of birth. I hope this helps give your research a big boost. Good luck in your search. A friend in genealogy, Peggy L. Russell [email protected]
