I may just go back and get information from the index. That can be my adventure for next week. If you would like copies of the census records let me know and I can get it sent out to you via snail mail. Did you get the other info. I sent? If not yet, it should arrive soon. : ) The above info was sent to me by my cousin except for the marriage info that came from Caldwell county marriage records in the MoWeb archives. The Martha is my Ggmo Riddle and her 2nd marriage. The Geo W Riddle and family is my gfa and his family except for my aunt Mary Lucille and my uncle Elgin. They are living according to the census info with his sister and her husband. I'm copying this for repasting and sending to the Lawson list again.
