Goto: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/ to order a photo copy of her death certificate from 1923, if you are interested. I checked and there is one for her. The death certificate usually tells when someone was born and when they died. If Mary was married, it will tell who her husband was, and her parents, as well as who filled out her death certificate and what she died of, residence, etc. Good luck! Janette

I can't help you with the obituary for Mary A. Key, but I was able to get some information from the funeral home on a couple of people I was interested in. I don't think they have anything on folks back in 1923 though. I found information on how to contact the funeral home on the Crawford Co. web page. You might call or write the library and see if they know of anyone who can help you with the obituary for Mary A. Key. I have had good luck in writing to libraries and requesting obituaries. I always include a stamped, addressed envelope, and I also enclose a $5.00 donation. I also recently had good luck with getting an obituary from the Kansas City library, and I did that through their web page. I filled out the form, not expecting to hear from them, and a week or so later, they called and told me they had the obituary - it was from 1951. I was able to charge it to my debit card and it cost $2.00. I believe some of my Ferguson relatives married Keys, but I don't recall which ones. I know they are buried at the Keysville Cemetery. I wish I could be of more help, and I wish you good luck. Best wishes, Sharon Clark Fort Worth, TX [email protected]

Does anyone have Geraldine Kelley's email address? She sent me a report on our mutual Cook Family a couple years ago. I have managed to misplace the first ten pages of the report and would like to get it re-entered into my genealogy program. Tten pages are critical and I lost what information I had already entered from them when my computer crashed this past summer.

If anyone out there has access to Texas, Dent, Pulaski or Crawford County Marriage books, would you mind looking to see if you find a Sarah Smith marrying? She was born about 1864 In Tennessee. Her mother is unknown, but her father was James E. Madison Smith. This is all of the information I have on her, but would like to learn more.

If anyone would like to visit the Kaes House in Castlewood State Park the directions are below. You will need comfortable walking shoes & flashlights. Directions to Kaes house from Manchester Rd.: Turn south onto New Ballwin Rd. Take it to Kiefer Creek Rd. Turn right onto Kiefer Creek Rd. Go to St. Paul Rd. Turn left onto St. Paul Rd. Stay on St. Paul Rd till you get to the rail road tracks. Do NOT cross the tracks - if you do you've gone too far. Turn left onto the gravel road that runs parallel with the tracks ~ this is called Jedburg Lane but I can't remember if there is a sign for it. Keep going till you come to two houses. You'll know which one is the correct house when you see it. There is a brick house & just a few hundred yards up & to the left of it is the Kaes house. You will have to park here & do the rest on foot. Walk east through the front yard of the home & you will see the stone wall of the spring house on the left at the base of the hill. This is the entrance to the cave. There are bushes in front of it - just walk through the middle of them & through the doorway & you are in the cave. There are two rooms in the cave. You will need some flashlights. J! ust east of the cave are the corn cribs. The house looks run down but it is still salvageable. It is boarded up & locked but there are peep holes in the window boards. so you can see inside many of the lower floor rooms. You can also go to Mapquest & type in Jedburg Road, Sherman Mo. then click on the red star in the center of map several times to bring it in close. http://www.mapquest.com/ Historic Landmark Home Endangered http://carrollscorner.net/SitesSt.LouisCo._Sherman.htm Petition For Preservation of Kaes House http://carrollscorner.net/KAES_HOUSE_PETITION.htm

Petition To Preserve The Kaes House If you would like your name added to the list please send an email to: [email protected] This beautiful house at Sherman, St. Louis County, Missouri is believed to have been built in the 1850's & is listed as a St. Louis County landmark. Local legend says that it may have been Gen. Wm. T. Sherman's house at one time. Also it may have been part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. This antebellum home deteriorates more with each passing year and if something isn't done soon it will be beyond repair. It would be a shame to lose yet another piece of St. Louis / Missouri history. Please contact anyone you may know who might help in this effort to save this house. Any and all help is very much appreciated. For more pictures & history of the house please visit: http://carrollscorner.net/SitesSt.LouisCo._Sherman.htm Esther M.

Hello, Below is the obituary for Blanche Ferguson Reeves. Blanche was the daughter of Drucilla G. Anderson and William Herman Ferguson of Crawford Co., MO. William was the son of Elizabeth ATWOOD and Rev. William G. FERGUSON who moved to Crawford Co., MO from Allen Co., KY in the 1850s. Rev. Ferguson was the son of Catherine GILMORE and William FERGUSON who married 28 Oct 1793 in Albemarle Co., VA, and the brother of my 3rd g-grandmother, Frances G. FERGUSON SPILMAN, who died 22 Feb 1859 in Hickory Co., MO. Blanche's cousin, Martha Lucinda "Mattie" Ferguson, was the mother of the Reeves children. Mattie was the daughter of Amanda Ann Vaughan and William Henry Ferguson of Steelville. William Henry Ferguson was the son of Lucinda Collins and Obadiah Ferguson who moved to Crawford Co., MO in the 1830s from Allen Co., KY. Obadiah, Rev. William, and Frances Ferguson were siblings. Here is the obituary: Kansas City Star/Kansas City Times, 15 Mar 1951, Thursday Mrs. Albert L. Reeves The Wife of Federal Judge dies unexpectedly She was active in Civic, Political and Church Groups – Son served in Congress. Mrs. Blanche Ferguson Reeves, the wife of Albert L. Reeves, United States district court judge, and herself prominent in religious, political and civic affairs, died late yesterday at the home, 3631 Charlotte street. Although Mrs. Reeves had been in ill health six years, the death was unexpected. She had a heart ailment. Mrs. Reeves, a former president of the Woman’s City club – she served from 1935 to 1937 – was known for her willingness to take part in any worthwhile civic undertaking. A Bible Class Teacher. Religious work was important to Mrs. Reeves. For several years after she moved here in 1913 she taught a women’s Bible class at the First Baptist church. After she moved to the present address in 1920 she became a member of the Calvary Baptist church and was teacher of a women’s Bible class there until her health failed. The interests of the friendly, busy woman were varied, and she found time to engage in a wide range of political and civic work. She was especially interested in the Citizens association. Even though her health required that she engage in a minimum of activity, she was a member of the board of governors and the campaign advisory committee and carried on some work for the Citizens organization from her home. Formerly she appeared frequently as a political speaker, and also delighted audiences by speaking on lighter subjects. She was a member of the Twentieth Century Republicans club. In World War II Mrs. Reeves was on the board of directors of the Service Men’s club. She was in charge of religious activities at the club. Daughter of a Lawyer. The jurist’s wife was born at Steelville, MO, seventy-three years ago, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Ferguson. Her father was a lawyer. Judge Reeves also was a native of Steelville, and began the practice of law there. She was a resident of St. Louis from 1893 to 1912, when she moved with her family to Los Angeles. The following year she and Mr. Reeves were married at Pasadena, Calif. The ceremony was performed by the late Dr. Robert J. Burdette, a Baptist minister and noted lecturer and humorist. Mr. and Mrs. Reeves moved here the month after their marriage and Mr. Reeves established a law practice. They made their home in Jefferson City for a short period when Mr. Reeves was serving as a commissioner of the Missouri Supreme court from 1921 to 1923. He received his appointment to the federal bench in 1923. Surviving besides her husband are two daughters, Mrs. Phillip A. Andrews, Van Nuys, Calif., and Mrs. William A. Berryman, St. Louis; a son, Albert Reeves, Jr., former representative in Congress and now a lawyer in Washington, and two sisters, Mrs. William M. Mertz, Grosse Point, Mich., and Miss Virginia Ferguson of the home. If anyone has information on any of these folks, I would love to hear from you. Best wishes, Sharon Clark Fort Worth, TX [email protected]
