CLIPPARD Felix G. Clippard, 78 years old, former merchant and postmaster at Leopold, died of ureic poisoning late Friday afternoon at St. Francis Hospital. Mr. Clippard became ill last Thursday and was removed from his home and that of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Zimmer, Jr. The body was returned to the home today and will remain there until 8 o'clock Monday morning when Requiem High Mass will be said at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Rev. H. Weismans will conduct the funeral and burial will be in the cemetery at Leopold. Mr. Clippard, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George W. Clippard, was born December 20, 1834 in Marble Hill. Most of his adult life he spent in Leopold. Upon his retirement 19 years ago, he came to Cape Girardeau where his wife died 16 years ago. His children, who survive are Sister Mary Felix, a teacher of the Order of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, New Orleans, who has arrived; Mrs. A. W. Zimmer, Jr., who lived with her father; Mrs. Martin Vandoren, Perryville, who was with her father during his illness; Ennis Clippard of Cape Girardeau and Early Clippard of Flint, Michigan who is on his way here. Other relatives who survive are his sisters, Mrs. E. G. Manning, Cape Girardeau, and Mrs. W. D.

In Leopold, Mr. Clippard was a member of St. John's Catholic Church and helped to build the new church there. When he moved to Cape Girardeau he transferred his membership to St. Mary's Catholic Church. Note: Attached photos were taken by me at St. John's Cemetery, Leopold, May 2003. Shown is a close-up of the stone, and then a photo further back to show the entire stone. The stone reads: Husband of Josephine E. Clippard, Felix G.

I have looking for information on her. Any you are willing to share would be helpful. Karen

I am looking for descendents of any of the children resulting from the marriage of George M. HOPPER (s/o John Dalton HOPPER and Sarah COLLINS) and Elizabeth ARNOLD. They were married in Cape Girardeau County, 16 October 1849. I am Bill Duchek, San Diego, CA and am a grandson of Barbara Ellen HOPPER, the last born to the pair. As a last resort, I am sending signals in the hope of finding background data on Elizabeth ARNOLD. So far it has been my brick wall in my research. Of course, not just descendents but anyone having a knowledge of her, please give me some clues as to where to start. I have much data on all the kids (except for Lewis or Louis) - but that is another problem. Thanx for any help!

I'm looking for descendants of Eugene Garaghty of Cape. My great great aunt married his son, Edmund B. Garaghty in Alexander Co. about 1884. I would like to share information. My aunt was Eliza Robbs. Thanks........

Does anyone have any information on a John Abner Blocker purportedly married to a Sarah Seeley? Children would have been James W., Elizabeth, David, and Minerva Blocker. Does anyone have anyinformation on the first two wives of James F. Wylie? Children from first marriage would be William, Sebyrn, and Minerva Wylie. Child from second marriage is Mary Elizabeth Wylie, who married James W. Blocker. Both the Blocker and Wylie families were in Cape Girardeau & Scott Co. MO in the 1820-30's and thereafter, according to BLM-GLO records. Other surnames with ties to these familis are: Calhoun, Byrne, Sullinger, Gooch, Williams, Willis, Owens, Dunning,Dawsin, Mobley, Cordell, Byrd, Sanders, Klemme, Heeb, Daniels, Witt, Anderson, Hunt, Kinney, and many more. Thanks! Wilma

One more little note: if you have added a "pop-up stopper" to you computer, it will keep the image windows from opening up sometimes.

Carol, I was just in there and pulled up 1850 & 1870 with no problem. I am on there almost everyday, and haven't been having any trouble. Try signing out, then signing back in or you might even change your username. Sometimes silly little things like that help. I clicked on help and it did say that there was a problem with accessing some census records earlier today. If you are ready to give up, call the Ancestry.com Customer Service. 1-800-262-3787, they should be able to help. Hopefully that number is still good.

Her name was Augusta Marie Borchelt, born January 25 1872 in Missouri, I believe Cape Girardeau. Augusta married, in Missouri, George Richard Palmer, of Michigan. By 1910 they moved to Oregon and lived out their lives there. Augusta had a sister named Mimmie or Minnie who married a Mr. Taylor, and was living in St Louis Missouri, in 1947, at the time of Augusta's death, and a brother, Lee Borchelt, who was living in Cape Girardeau at the time of Augusta's death 1947. After searching the census, I believe her parents were (W F) Fred Borchelt, b. abt 1841, and Mary, b. abt 1836, both born in Hanover Germany. (Census and death certificate all show her parents were born in Germany) The 1880 Missouri census shows Fred Borchelt, age 39, Mary, 44, Auguste, age 8, Minnie, age 5 and John, age 2. The children all born in Missouri. The 1900 Missouri census shows W F Borchelt, age 58 and widowed, son John age 22. The 1910 Missouri census shows Lee Borchelt, age 28. I am trying to find any and all information I can on this family, and where Mary and "Fred" are buried. Can any one help? Any info would be appreciated.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2JB.2ACE/416 Message Board Post: The woman who wrote the history described as follows married a man named Bob on Dec. 3 (year?), probably in Cape Girardeau Co., MO, as she was living in Pocohontas when she met him. They probably married ca. 1903-1908. Her father was a Methodist minister. Any clues to her identity? Let me know. Thanks! A set of biographical papers was recently found by a security guard in the north parking lot of the East Library in Colorado Springs. No names are included to help the library return the manuscript to its owner. Following is a description of the material in hopes that someone might recognize the account. The biographical account is written in pencil on the front and back of six yellow 8½ x 11-inch sheets of paper. It has been placed in acid-free sleeves for protection. The pencil is a little faded but it is still legible. The author was 75 years old at the time she wrote the account of her early life for her children and grandchildren. She was born March 1, 1887, near Fulton, Kentucky, which is near the Tennessee and Kentucky state line. (These dates suggest it was written about 1962.) Her father taught school in Tennessee. She writes of attending her father’s school and walking two miles to school with him. Her mother had an African-American to cook, clean, wash, and iron for the family. Her mother sewed, knitted, pieced quilts, and “did for the neighbors.” The author’s maternal grandmother lived with the family. There was an older brother and a sister who was born August 10, 1893, in the family. In the manuscript she gives an account of her childhood activities—making chewing gum from the sap of gum trees, their playhouse under a large oak, celebrating Christmas, a train trip to visit an aunt in Missouri. Her father was admitted to the Southeastern Conference of the Methodist Church in St. Louis, MO, in 1898 and for the next 10 years the family moved from town to town in southeastern Missouri—Aninston, Platten, Mabel Hill, Indian Creek, etc. She attended school in Pocahontas where she met her husband-to-be, Bob, who lived on a farm near Jackson, MO, with his father and two brothers. She gives a brief account of their courtship and marriage on December 2 (no year given) in a courthouse ceremony attended by about 500 to 1,000 people. Her husband lived on a farm near Jackson, MO. She gives an account of their wedding. After the wedding they lived with Bob’s family until Bob was able to build their house, which she briefly describes. This is a wonderful account of a woman’s childhood and early adulthood and gives valuable information that would be important to anyone interested in family history. If you have any information about the person who may have lost this manuscript, please contact Mary Davis at 719-531-6333 ext. 2252.

EVE married MILES DOYL/DOYLE on September 10, 1843, after the death of DANIEL SLINKARD. This would solve the mystery of JACOB & JAMES SLINKARD listed in the household of MILES DOYL in the 1850 Census. I am attempting to prove that my JAMES SLINKARD, father of HIRAM, is the same person as the son of DANIEL and brother of JACOB SLINKARD. Any information would be appreciated. Linda Cashen Gaunt

Also, does anyone show a marriage record for James Campbell & Elizabeth Mehlander/Meklander circa late 1700's? I have been told they are the parents of this Ellis Campbell. This based on the surname of Elizabeth.
