Greetings and Salutations I'm new to the list and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Johnathan W. Sluder. I currently live in Uriah, Monroe, AL (will be moving to Mobile in fall). I found the Benton, MO list while searching for information on my paternal grandmother, Ida Lucinda Alexander. She is the daughter of Mary Ellen Kirby and Unknown Alexander. She was born probably in Benton, MO 19 May 1913. Her Mother (Mary Ellen Kirby) was born abt. 1874 in Fristoe Twp, benton, Mo. and is the daughter of Elisha Kirby b. 3 Dec 1850 in Fristoe, Benton, MO. and Hannah Guinn b. abt 1855 in Benton, MO m. 25 September 1873 in Hickory, MO. If anyone has any info, I'd greatly appreciate it. In the meantime, I look forward to getting to know everyone. And if I can be of assistance to you, don't hesitate to ask. Johnathan W. Sluder
