Hi, I am wondering if anyone is familiar with Foree Cemetery. It is reportedly somewhere near Neeper in Clark County. It may be a small family cemetery. I hope to visit it this summer if it can be located. Thanks for any help! Mitch

I there anyone on this list researching the Howard family in Clark County, MO? I was just told that families by the name of Howard and Stamper were going to MO together when attacked by Indians. One set of parents were killed and the children taken in by the other family. My GG grandfather was John Rolston Stamper and we can find no trace of this parents or any siblings so are wondering if his parents were killed and he became part of the Howard family. According to his death certificate he was born in 1835 in KY and the first public record we have of him is the 1850 census. He was living with the Willliam Lambrith family in the 19th district of Clark County but at 15 in those days he could have been working for them. I found a Catharine, EJ, Elizabeth A, and JLV Howard also in the 19th district in 1850. If any of this rings a bell with anyone I would love to hear from you. Twila Researching Weber and Stamper

Ballard Cemetary is located SW of Kahoka. Take Highway 81 South for approx 5 miles, turn right onto D. About 7 miles along this road (just beyond Neeper) you will find the Ballard Church and the cemetary. ----- Original Message ----- From: <WilliamCDF@aol.com> To: <MOCLARK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 11:07 AM Subject: [MOCLARK-L] Ballard Cemetery > Would like to learn the exact location of Ballard Cemetery in Clark County > for a visit there this coming summer. > > Thanks, > Mitch > >

I've had good success with the Keokuk (IA) Public Library, however. Tonya Boltz, one of the libraians, is a round-about cousin of mine and still lives in Clark County, I believe. One might try contacting her to inquire about other local resources. Izzy ...

Hello, I will be in the Clark county area in May and am hoping to be able to do some genealogy while I am there. Does anyone know where their best genealogy resouces are? I am looking for birth, death, burial records from the mid to late 1800's. The surnames I am researching are: Staley, Riley, McCoy, Stump, Campbell and Williams. Thanks for your help. N. Staley

The historical society is near, if not across the street from, the library in Kahoka. Both have good resources.

Surnames : Milford, Toops, Cates, Worden I'm a new subscriber to the Clark Co. list. I'm a displaced mid-westerner with my maternal roots line in northern Illinois (McHenry Co.), southern Wisconsin (Walworth Co.), southern and northern Iowa (Van Buren Co., Kossuth Co., Palo Alto Co., Dickinson Co.), Clark Co., MO, and KY. Ggrandfather Ennis Henry Worden b.12 Mar 1854, Kane Co., Illinois, d. 22 Jul 1900, Bentonsport, VBC, IA, is buried in Bentonsport Cemetery, having married 2nd (Oct 1898) Mary Quaintance, b. Bentonsport, May 1860. I have his large Worden line, but do not know with whom or why he removed from northern IL to VBC area. Grandfather John Cates b. 14 Apr 1878, Farmington, VBC, d. 18 Mar 1916, Walworth Co., WI. John and Edith Alice WORDEN Cates' (b. 6 Feb 1884, Shopiere, Rock Co., WI) four eldest of nine children (Charles Richard, b. 9 Aug 1902; Elmer Noah, b. 20 Oct 1903; Edgar Worden, b. 15 Oct 1905; Alice Margaret, b. 13 Jul 1907) were born in the Farmington area. The fifth, Irene Mabel, was b. 26 Feb 1909, in Clark Co., Mo. John Cates' sister, Marcena, b. Dec 1879 (?), probably in VBC, married Charles Toops (b. 11 Nov 1875, Clark Co., Mo.) abt 1899. John and Marcena Cates' parents were William (b. 1843, KY) and Margaret E. MILFORD Cates (b. 1855 (?), IA), m. 25 Oct 1874. Family lore is her name was Margaret, however, in Clark County, Missouri Marriages, 1866-1900, the marriage is listed as William Castes (sic) and Mary Milford, 24 Oct 1874. According to the 1860 IA Census, VBC, Farmington Twnshp, Margaret E. Milford had an older sister named Mary E. Was this just a recording error? I would like to know if anyone else has worked on the Milford, Cates, Toops families in the Clark Co area. When and with whom did William Cates migrate from KY, from what KY county did he migrate? Where are Charles and Marcena Toops buried, did they have any children? Any information on Margaret Milford's family? You may e-mail me directly at lahollytree1@aol.com. Thanks for any help in advance. Lloyd A. Holly

Would like to learn the exact location of Ballard Cemetery in Clark County for a visit there this coming summer. Thanks, Mitch

Do not open any email that comes to you from me that says Here you have, and a face symbol. It is a virus that attached to my email address book. Karla Jefferson

Could someone please see if there are any listings for John M. Sailor/Saylor either in marriage, death or cemetery listings. John M. age 27 is listed on 1850 census as living with father Jonathan Sailor. While searching this family I have found info for all other members of the family...father, mother, and 11 siblings but John M. remains a mystery. Any help most appreciated. Thank you for your help and time. Peggy pegleg@ipa.net

The town of Fairmont is 150 years old this year, and in preparation for a celebration, they are trying to find old pictures of the town. If anyone has any old pictures, or knows who might have some, please contact me. Michele Cragg

If anyone had access to the 1850/60/70 census and could help me I would appreciate it so much. These have been brick walls so far but this information could instantly add 2 or 3 generations to each family as I have information of both ends but no ties. I am trying to find out the parents names and places of birth for: 1850 Micajah Weber - 19th dist. - pg 278 OR 1860 Micajah Weber - Washington Twnship - pg 707 OR 1870 Micajah Weber - Washington Twnship - pg 619 1860 Daniel Weber - 19th dist. - pg 278 OR 1870 Daniel Weber - Washington Twnship - pg 625 1850 William Lambrith/Lambirth/Lumbrith(had a John Stamper age 15 in household) - 19th dist - pg 274 1860 John Stamper - near Ashton which I believe is Lincoln or Wyaconda Twnship - pg 755 Thanks so much for any and all assistance whenever it is convenient.
