Surnames: Overstreet, Robertson, Lynn Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hMB.2ACI/844 Message Board Post: The remains of Mrs. Lizzie OVERSTREET, of Kansas City, were brought to this place yesterday and interred at Pleasant Grove church, the family burying ground of the family of her father, Mr. Ham ROBERTSON, formerly a well known citizen of this county. Her death was quite a surprise to Mr. ROBERTSON, who only a few days ago received a letter from her stating that she was in good health. He received a telegram Tuesday announcing that she was dangerously ill, and in a short time another announcing her death. He came on Wednesday to make arrangements for her interment. Mr. ROBERTSON is now residing with his sons in Illinois. Mrs. OVERSTREET is well known here, and her death is quite a shock to her many relatives and friends. The funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. G.R. LYNN at 3 o'clock yesterday. (Source: Madisonville (Ky.)

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BRIGGS, SANDIN, SANDINE Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hMB.2ACI/840 Message Board Post: "The Kansas City Journal of Commerce" (Missouri) Thursday, April 26, 1877 OVER THE DRAW. Yesterday afternoon one of the most remarkable accidents which the great bridge ever witnessed since its completion occurred, and resulted in the drowning of two horses, the property of Mr. Peter SANDINE, a Swede, who resides in Clay county. In the morning, Mr. SANDINE, who is a dealer in lumber and railroad ties, came to our city with a load of lumber. During the early part of the afternoon, after disposing of his lumber, he drove down to BRIGGS' blacksmith shop, on Broadway, near Fifth street, where he had his team shod all around. About half-past three o'clock he was settling with the blacksmith preparatory to starting home, his horses having been hitched to his wagon and left standing near the shop. It is not known whether the animals became frightened or not, yet true it is they started off at a lively trot down Broadway toward the bridge without their driver. As they neared the bridge they increased their speed. About the time they started from the shop, the steamer Florence Meyer backed out from the wharf and started up stream and signaled the bridge men to open the draw, and when the runaway team struck the bridge, the draw was slowly swinging around. The toll man had put up the chain at the north end of the first span, and was turning around to go to the toll house, when he saw the horses coming. He and another man attempted to stop the horses, but were forced to get out of the way in order to save their lives. The horses ran furiously and upon reaching the end of the span, one of the poor creatures seemed at a glance to comprehend the situation, and reared up in its effort to stop. The other plunged on over the chain, pulling its mate with it, and down they went, wagon and horses, nearly sixty feet into the raging stream, and were lost to sight. They came to the surface once, only, and then sank, never more to be seen. The team and wagon were valued at $275. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== Go to the Jackson County, Missouri Message Board to see births, deaths, and marriages in the Kansas City, MO & Kansas City, KS areas. http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.jackson When there: Do an "Advanced Search" and enter the surname (all lower case letters) on the "Find Messages Containing" line.

That's an interesting question, I have some hints that I have an Oder family connection, but it would have been through Sedgwick county KS, and before that I am not sure. But give me some names and I will look at the one document I have that mentions Oder and see if there could be a connection I am aware of.
