Is there anybody out there that knew the deceased, Catherine Margaret Reeves Davis? She use to live in Rolla, Missouri. She was born in Cuba, Missouri on May 8, 1921. Her parents were George Washington Reeves and Evelyn Louise (Evie) Reeves. I think she died in July 1999. I am looking for a family member to whom she may have passed on all her genealogy work on the Reeves and Baker families. Thanks, Janette Baker Vrana

Ed, If I'm not mistaken, the tombstone transcriptions on the Crawford County site have been set up such that they have been loaded directly into the MoGenWeb archives, and you can't, therefore, attach photos or link to the respective entries. Another alternative you might want to consider would be to make individual posts on the message board (where you can attach photos) under each name (select "cemetery" category from drop-down menu) with message to effect of "click on icon to view tombstone of ___________ at Gibbs Cemetery in Crawford County". If the inscription is difficult to read in the photo, you might want to type the transcription in the text of your message. That way, anyone doing a search of the message board through either RootsWeb or Ancestry.com would come up with the photo. Also, be sure to put the surname in the surname box to assure it's found by search engine.

I have some recent photos of the headstones in the Gibbs Cemetery which is located off of highway 8 East of Steelville. The Washington County MO web has a nice way to link the cemetery to name to headstone.

If you are coming into town from the east, turn right on First Street, go about a block up the hill and it is on the right hand side. It is right on the street, but not very noticeable because of all the trees. Margaret (Maggie)

Can anyone give me directions to the above cemetery located in/near Steelville? Thank you. Leslie

I am looking for info on my great grandmother, Roxana Orr. i have one census report from 1870 says that a Roxana Orr is 9 years old. her father is William J. Orr. I do know that my great grandmother was married to John Henry DeClue and that my grandmother Altha Pearl DeClue was born in Bartlett, Missouri, in Shannon County February 17, 1891. Does anyone out there have any information that may help me. Any thing will be appreciated. Dale O'Bear [email protected]

Esther, I've never personally been to this particular cemetery, but I've been to some of the larger cemeteries in St. Louis such as Calvary and Bellefontaine Cemetery and many of their family plots are arranged in this circular fashion. Sometimes the mother and father will be in the center with all their children surrounding them, and sometimes there will be a big monument designating the surname(s) with the family members in a circle around it. There is one plot at Bellfontaine Cemetery that I think is particularly unique. The smaller monuments in a circle around the large center one are all open-faced books with the info on each respective family member inscribed on the pages of the open book. Therefore, I don't think that the circular shape is any indication of witchcraft. It's just an arrangement that you rarely see in rural areas. The next time you're in DeSoto, if you stop by the Calvary Cemetery on the Rock Road, you'll see the Cantwell family plot right along the roadway. It's designed in a circular fashion. By the way, this plot lost just about all of the big shade trees surrounding it in the recent tornado and may have sustained damage to the stones as well. The last time I was there was shortly after the storm and the stones could not be seen because the plot was covered with uprooted trees. It was really a sad sight. According to a Crawford County cemetery book I have most of the graves in the Woodlock Cemetery are of a family by the name of Woodlock. The oldest individuals in the cemetery appear to be Patrick D. Woodlock and his wife Henrietta P. (Pamella) Woodlock with the other graves appearing to be descendants and their families. Mr. Woodlock was born in Ireland in 1840 and came to the U.S. at the age of 16. He was married to his wife Henrietta on March 21, 1877. They had 12 children. Mr. and Mrs. Woodlock lived in St. James, Missouri about two years after their marriage then moved to Davisville where they lived and reared their family. Mr. Woodlock was a miller and engaged in the milling business up until about 15 years before his death in 1918. His wife Henrietta died in 1930 at the age of 76. Her obit indicates that she was for many years actively engaged in the management of the "Woodlock Resort" a well known hotel in Davisville. They appear to be a pretty normal family for their time from everything I can see in the book I have. There is even a veteran of the Spanish American War buried there in that cemetery. I'll bet this rumor got started because the name Woodlock and warlock are so similar.

Please join me in welcoming Winnie Brooks as our new Crawford County Coordinator. She hails from Texas and has ancestors from Crawford, Osage and Gasconade Counties and has experience in doing web pages. I promised to make it as easy as I can and the transition is almost complete. I will still assist in any way and do lookups. Please wait a couple days before you submit anything to her. Happy summer and hope all your genealogy efforts are successful. -- Joe L.

I made up a file that lists early diseases, just in case you don't understand what the death certificate says or what that illness is called today. Or what your ancestor died from.

Dear List: I am looking for information, etc., on Lovel T. Holderman. He married Julia A. Brickey, 12-25, 1856. Son, John F, 4-21-58, married Nancy Jane Johnson. Grandson, Frank Holderman. In the 1860 Crawford Co. census, Julia (J.A) and son John (J.F) are living with John N. Brickey. Sometime before 1863, Julia A. Brickey married? William Caleb White, my great great-grandfather. All of the information I have been able to accumulate: birth year, census, family names, and obit of Julia A. Brickey White's daughter, Martha White Jenkins, point to this Julia A. Brickey as the lady I'm looking for. I just haven't been able to find a marriage certificate for Julia and William. Thanks for any help Susan

It seems Tami will not be doing the Crawford County web site after all, so you got me back. I have heard from one person that he could do it, but just not right now. If anyone is still interested but just haven't spoken up yet, here's your chance. It is really not a busy site and I will be here to help you all the way. I just think we would all benefit from someone knowing about the area and has some resources to assist us than someone across the state. Thanks to Tami for setting up the MOCRAWFO in the subjsct line for us. Just another example of what I could have done if I wasn't so busy with other things and an experienced CC could do. -- Joe L.
