I THINK I have heard that they did live in Stamps Ark at one time. His name is James Madison Searles b. 15 Sept 1869 at Freeman in Cass county Missouri. Died 3 Mar 1946 Kansas City Missouri. Married to Hazel Jessie Ball b. 04/1877. The son Dan and my grandfather were cousins of course, Dan used to come down to Liberal to visit and I remember meeting him when I was a child.. Hope this helps and feel free to contact me. I'm pretty sure I have a picture of him or maybe them - I'll look! KDrake0701@hotmail.cm

Frances, I just thought that I would let you know that is why we are here. It is a very approptiate question. Don't be shy.

There was a Dr. Searles in Pleasanton, Linn Co., KS at one time. He & his wife are both buried in the Pleasanton Cemetery.

Carolyn is there a birth record in the 1880s for John B. Reeser or his sister Lillie Reeser? Their parents were Henry F. Reeser and Martha A. Humphries / Humphreys.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SARLES, SEARLES, BALL, HUTCHINSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4JB.2ACE/435.915.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I'm researching Jessie (BALL) SARLES/SEARLES (female) b. April 1877, daughter of James W. & Minnie W. (PITCHER) BALL. Jessie's siblings were: George, Etta Mae, and Walter BALL. I know Jessie married a SARLES (based on mention of her name in her grandmother's Last Will and Testament). Believe he may have been James M. SARLES although I have no documented proof. My hunch is based on a 1910 Census as follows - Marion Township, Sebastian County, AK - James M. SARLES, age 40, married once, age at marriage 19 years, born Indiana, both parents born Indiana, coal miner; Jessie L., wife, age 33; married 1, age at marriage 19, born Kentucky, father born Kentucky, mother born NY; Ansel, age 17, born MO, farm worker; Ethel, age 13, born KS; Daniel, age 3, born MO. I believe Jessie married second to a HUTCHINSON or HUTCHENSON and lived in Liberal MO and Mindenmines KS in about 1930s. There are similarities with your Jessie SARLES but I'm not sure they are same people. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, I do appreciate it. Would there happen to be a Cornelius Reed buried int the REED cemetery. ew

Thelma, none of the Humphreys listed in the cemetery CD are even close to your names. I thought to check the birth records but didn't find them there either. Sorry. Carolyn

Reed Cemetery is located in Polk Township near Strasburg in the northeast corner of Cass County. There is also a "Reid" Cemetery in Cass County, too. Carolyn

Carolyn, Excuse me for interrupting, but where is the Reed Cemetery you are referring to? EW

My Humphries/ Humphreys are, James and Lucinda. Their son and his wife, John G. and Ellen Humphries and Ellen. As for Almon Huff, we were at the Reed Cemetery about 1983 and found his stone under about 6 inches of dirt. A cousin went there early this spring and couldn't find it. Thank goodness we took pictures at that time. Thank you for taking the time to look for my Humphries/ Humphreys Thelma On Fri, 17 Jun 2005 00:42:57 EDT Cclarkatgc@aol.com writes: > Hi, Thelma! > > Sadly, I was unable to locate anyone by the name of "Reeser" in my > files.

Excuse me for entering your e-mails, but did I miss an entry that says that someone has a source of Cass County obituaries? If so, I am wondering if there might be an obituary for Bazzle/Bazzel Roberson or his wife, Mary G., who are buried in Orient Cemetery in Harrisonville, MO. Thank you, and if this is not an appropriate request, I apologize. Frances

>Frances If you go the Cass County Historical Society web page and click on obituaries you can do a search for your names.

Hi, Thelma! Sadly, I was unable to locate anyone by the name of "Reeser" in my files. I did find about half a dozen "Humphreys" buried in Cass County. The records here show that Almon Huff is buried in Reed Cemetery, born 5 July 1818, died 28 Dec. 1892, near Strasburg, MO. No stone was found in 2001. If you can provide the given names for your Humphreys people, I'll be glad to check on that for you. Sorry I couldn't be more help with the Reesers. Carolyn

I do volunteer research for the Cass County Family History Guild. When I saw your query, I checked the Cass County Cemetery CD and found the following: Jacob S. Staley and his wife, Catharine Meeks are both buried at Staley Mound Cemetery. Jacob was the son of Christian and Nancy (Waggoner) Staley and was born 31 May 1808 near Pittsburg, PA He married Catharine 19 Dec. 1830 and died 26 May 1883 There is a notation saying that a daughter, Mary Ann, died in infancy in Ohio. Another daughter, Fletcher M., who died 5 Dec. 1874 in Howard Co., KS, is also buried at Staley Mound Cemetery. I hope this is of some help to you. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me again. Carolyn

Hello Carolyn, I saw your offer to help someone else and wondered if you can help me. Could you check the Cass county cemeteries for Reeser. Henry F.Resser and his wife Martha A. (Humphries) Reeser. Also if there are any Humphries/Humphreys buried there. My great grandfather, Almon G. Huff is buried there. He was murdered. Thelma (Humphries) of Colorado

Yes, it's great to do a little giving back and the work is easy. They send you a packet and the spreadsheet template they want you to use. There is no pressure do it quickly and if you can't manage the amount they send, then they will divide the packet. If you have questions, they are answered usually within a day.
