I am looking for information on Peter Mills and is listed in the 1870 Census of Cass County. I have a lot of information on William Cloud Mills and Hannah Mills also in Cass County in 1870. However, by 1880 William and Hannah moved to Kansas. I need assistance on Peter. He was born in Tennessee about 1835 and in the Confederate Army and stayed single. In 1870, he is living next door to Lawson Barnett. After that, I have lost him. Gladly share information. Thanks Larry Mills

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. If you are having problem and I do not answer you right away, know that I will. I like many of you work full time outside of my home. I am fortunate that I can check my e-mail any time I wish, but know that there are spaces of time I cannot. I always check my e-mail each and every evening and will respond to message that need me then and there. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. 7. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding the the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

Dear List Members, I just ran across an interesting Website, "Courthouse Experiences" http://www.bcpl.net/~dmg/courthouse.htm Not every county is listed, but the ones listed gave helpful information regarding the attitudes of those working in the courthouses. I might suggest that if you have had a positive or negative courthouse experience you add them to this site. I now know how to prepare myself for several courthouses I want to visit later this year.

Mr. Ross, the fourth son of James D. and Dora May Holman Ross, was born July 25, 1894, on a farm near Creighton. At the age of 24, he entered the Armed Forces of World War I. After serving his country, he was honorably discharged and returned to the Urich community where he engaged in farming, making it his life occupation. In 1922 he was united in marriage to Eleanor Cunningham and they established their home near Urich. To this union were born one daughter, Margaret, and one son, Wayne. Early in life he united with the Urich Christian Church, where he retained his membership. He was a member of the Ingham-Morgan American Legion Post No. 371 of Urich, having been a long-time, active and faithful member, serving in many capacities of the Post. He also was active in helping to promote the welfare of the community. In 1953 Mr. and Mrs. Ross retired from farming and moved to their home in Urich, where Mr. Ross thoroughly enjoyed his retirement. Although in failing health, he kept his cheerful disposition and an interest in those around him. The family circle remained unbroken until December 1963, when Mrs. Ross was called to her heavenly home.

Obituary - Cass County Democrat-Missourian, Harrisonville, Missouri, 25 May 1965 John A. Ross Dies at Age of 95 Years John Albert Ross, who lived many years in the Sherman Township, in the southeast corner of Cass County, died May 13, 1965, in Kansas City, Mo., at the age of 95 years and 20 days. His funeral, at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 16, was in Urich Baptist Church, the Revs. Robert E. Kearney and David Kerr being the officiants. Larry Graham sang two hymns, being accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Ronnie Wehmeyer and at the organ by Larry Graham.

Albritten, Gene Chandler, Dale Crawford, Clifford Creighton, Upton Ewing, Leonard Gibson, Rolla Graef, and John Kreutzer. Burial was in Wadesburg Cemetery, north of Creighton, Mo. Mr. Ross was a son of William J. Ross and Anna M. (Thomas) Ross, his birth, April 23, 1870 being in Pettis County, Mo. In the fall of 1870 the Ross family came to Cass County and settled in Sherman Township where they purchased 135 acres of land, 95 of which yet remain in the family home. He was the youngest of six children, they being Annie Elizabeth, James D., William R., Sarah Ida (Helms), Robert H., and John Albert Ross. On Feb. 20, 1895, Mr. Ross and Otella Valeria Crotchett, daughter of William H. and Mary Jane Crotchett, were married. They were parents of four children - Virginia Adella, Roy Dennis, Naomi Elizabeth, and Oneta.

Morris, Kevin Morris, and Keith Morris, all of Creighton; six great-grandchildren, other relatives and many friends. A loving tribute is expressed to Mr. Ross in these words: "He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and love of little children; who filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked upon the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."

Obituary - Urich (Missouri) Herald, 23 October 1941 JAMES D. ROSS BURIED TUESDAY AFTERNOON James D. Ross, eldest son of William J. and Anna H. Ross, was born in Pettis County, Mo. October 3, 1861. He was married to Dora Mae Holman, February 28, 1886 and died at his home near Urich, Mo. October 17, 1941 aged 80 years and 14 days. He came with his parents to Cass County in 1870 where he grew to manhood on a farm one and one-half miles south of Creighton. He was a member of a family of six children, Annie E. Ross, himself, William R. Ross, Mrs. Ila Helms, Robert H. Ross and John A. Ross. William R. Ross died in 1892 and Annie E. Ross died in March of this year. The other members reside at or near Creighton. On the death of his father in 1875, when he was but 14 years old, he assumed the leadership in carrying forward the work so essential to the preserving of a home for his mother and six children. Thus, at the age of 14, his farm life began. In this, his first venture, he displayed skill and good judgment and was classed as a good farmer. He maintained this reputation throughout life. No one ever doubted his honesty, few questioned his judgment. When he was 22 years of age, he went back to Pettis County where, in conjunction with a cousin, the late Dr. J. T. Sheffer, he farmed for two years. It was during these two years that he won the affections of the girl who became his wife and the mother of his seven children: Gilbert, who died March 27, 1905; Joe C., of Great Falls, Montana; Norman P., Harlan H., Mrs. Bessie Dunn, and Ruby Ross, all of Uric; and Dewey D. Ross of Abilene, Texas. His wife preceded him in death October 16, 1934. Soon after his marriage he rented a small farm adjoining the one where he had spent his boyhood days, where he lived one year. The following spring he rented the Catron farm just over the Henry County line. At the expiration of this lease he purchased and improved a small farm one mile east of Creighton. A few years later he traded this tract for a larger farm on the dividing line between Urich and Creighton where he resided up to the time of his death. Thus, for almost seventy years he had an active part in the things that affect the welfare of the community. His school days were limited to the time necessary to complete the course then taught in the country schools. Limited as the course of study was, he used it as a base, read extensively and became a well-informed man. He had confidence in the wisdom of the American people and believed that while mistakes were inevitable, they would be corrected in due time. He never joined the church but believed in God, confessed his faith in Christ and passed from this life with full confidence that there awaited the award consequent of a well spent life, and he would say with the poet Tennyson: "Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me, And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For tho' from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar." In his passing the state loses a staunch citizen, the community a good neighbor, his children a devoted father. The funeral services were conducted at the Creighton Christian Church with the Rev. Walter Mihlfeld, pastor of the Urich Baptist Church, officiating. The interment was made in the family lot at the Wadesburg Cemetery.

Obituary - Clinton (Missouri) Eye, 17 May 1951 Death of Urich Citizen Dewey D. Ross, the fifth son of the family of seven children of James D. and Dora Mae Ross, was born January 12, 1897, on a farm near Creighton, Mo., and died May 8, 1951 of a heart attack, the second he had suffered. At the age of 20, he left for the West and tried his hand at farming in Montana, but later turned to other fields of endeavor. For years he followed construction work, serving as superintendent on important engineering projects in the states of Texas and Kentucky. While in Kentucky, he made the acquaintance of Miss Mabel Gibson, who later became his bride. His opportunity to return to the soil came when his father died in 1941, leaving a large farm to be divided among his children. Both Dewey and his wife were eager and willing, and together they succeeded in building a farm and a new home life that was his pride and joy. Dewey had many friends and, with his wit and good sense of humor, was a favorite with people of all walks of life. He is survived by his widow of Urich; a daughter, Mrs. Lora Mae Bourland, and a son, Mac Leroy, both of Phoenix, Ariz. Also surviving are his six grandchildren, three brothers, Norman, Joe, and Harlan, two sisters, Mrs. Richard Dunn and Miss Ruby Ross, all living in the vicinity of Urich. In addition are many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives. An uncle, John A. Ross, near Creighton, is the only living member of that generation. The original Rosses were early pioneers in this section of Missouri, members of the family having lived here for the past 100 years. Dewey Ross was a member of the Christian Church and the Masonic Lodge. His was a quiet life but full of meaning and purpose. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Urich Christian Church and burial was in the Urich cemetery. Pallbearers were E. E. Erwin, W. L. McDonald, Floyd Vogt, Carroll Cox, Victor Groh, and Oren Henry. Mrs. F. A. Swackhamer, Mrs. Jake Allison, Joe McCoy, and John Caldwell sang "In the Garden" and "It is Well", accompanied by Mrs. Joe McCoy at the piano.
