Post #4080 71 Houpt, Henry N. Rick Gregg

Buffalo Reflex on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 CLAY DENVER CANON Oct. 28, 1919-May 30, 2001 Funeral services were held Friday, June 1, at the Cantlon Otterness Funeral Chapel of Urbana with Roger Tribble officiating. Marilyn Charlton sang "Hallelujah Square." Burial was in the Hopewell Cemetery of Tunas, under the direction of the Cantlon Otterness Funeral Home of Urbana. Escorts were Shane Canon, Steve Knapp, Chris Moore, Allen Lee Canon, Marty Willadsen and Richard Allen. Honorary escorts were John Love and Clay Martin. Clay Denver Canon was born Oct. 28, 1919, in Ira, the son of Clarence and Mona (Edison) Canon. He died May 30, 2001, peacefully at his home. On Oct. 29, 1938, he joined his life with Willa Moore. Their lives were blessed with three children. In 1944 he began his service with the United States Navy. He proudly served in World War II. After completing his military service in January of 1946, he returned to California and then to Nevada to work as a ranch foreman. In the 1950s he brought his family to the Urbana and Tunas area and began his life-long work as a carpenter and farmer. He loved life and the outdoors and he was very proud of his garden. He had a special knack for woodworking and his family will enjoy many, handmade keepsakes for generations to come. He was adored by his family and was blessed with a multitude of dear friends. He was a member of the Tunas Christian Church. He never complained about his declining health, always looking forward to the many visits with his dear friends and family. Those visits brought him great joy and he was very grateful to all of you who took the time to come. He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Helen; three brothers: Virgil, Oren and Morris; his son, Dwight; and his daughter, Jeanette. Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Willa; a daughter, Kathy and husband, Ronnie George, Camdenton; two sisters: Waneta Charlton and Vivian Gregory; a brother, Henry Canon; and 14 grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Shane and wife, Joyelle and their children, Emily, Dillon and Caroline, Springfield, Jennifer and husband, Ron Allen and their children, Markus, Megan and Corey, Lebanon, Michele and her son, Deandre, Kansas City, Stephanie and husband, Kyle Hendricks and their son, Kaden, Buffalo, and Rachel and her daughter, Chyna, Kansas City; and a son-in-law, Stanley Allen, Tunas. His ornery streak and broad smile will be sadly missed by all of us.

This makes it look like genealogy.about.com did the work but in fact it is part of the Missouri State Archives. To go directly there use: http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/archives/resources/bdrecords/records.html There are some birth and death records for Dallas Co., but they are PDF files and you will need an Adobe Acrobat browser plug-in or application to view them. I've added the page containing Dallas County to the Web Links page of the Dallas Co. MOGenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~modallas/links.html While I was there I checked all of the links, found some were old and updated them, and added a few.

Thank you Colleen, Rick and Carrolyn for the information about Alice Pitts. With Memorial Day last week, and all the hype about the new Pearl Harbor movie, it might interest some of you to know that Alice's brother (actually half-brother) Ernest Ewart Tibbs died aboard the USS West Virginia, Dec. 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor. --gary ~
