Central Daylight Time, lumann@yahoo.com writes: I am not descended from either the Whitt or the Place family Hi again, Neither am I, but my ex is semi-related to the Places through his maternal grandmother, Nellie Galpin. Nellie married her first cousin George Place, but they are cousins on his mother's side, not the Place line. Two of his great-grandmother's sisters married Places. No bloodlines but enough ties that it is almost the same! I trace his lines as avidly as I do my own. I claim it is for my children and grandchildren but to be honest I think it is mostly the thrill of the chase! On the other hand, I started tracing a friend's line here in Boone County and stumbled across a very distant connection with her through my Pike County, IL folks, so you never know . . . My ex and I are extremely distantly connected through the Marshes. From my notes I can tell that's where you and I were corresponding before; the Marsh-Love families. My FTM program tells me I am Pamela/Permelia's 3rd cousin 5x removed and her 6th cousin 4x removed. I'm not even going to try to follow that! I have gotten caught up in the whole Daviess County intermingling. I have similar interests in Bartholomew and Scott Counties, IN; Pike Co., IL; Lee Co., VA; and Osage Co., KS; also to a certain extent KC MO. We find these places where everyone seems to be related to everyone else either by blood or marriage and often both. My database is enormous and I just keep on . . .

Hi Again Vanette, How nice of you to remember that we are old e-mail friends. I had forgotten, but now I remember you. Thank you for the reminder. Yes, you are right. Chester Ollus is the husband of Zorz Sharp. He is also the son of Harley Vest Whitt and Clara Emeline Place. I am not descended from either the Whitt or the Place family, but I am related to them, so I find myself gathering information on these families as well as a lot of other ones that are somehow related to me. So my database just keeps on growing. Once you get hooked on this genealogy stuff it turns into a lifetime pass time.

Lu, hello! We corresponded 'way back, maybe 6-7 years ago when I was first starting to do genealogy. Good to hear from you again. I was still lost because I didn't have Ollus Whitt either so I did some checking -- is this the Lester Ollus whose parents are Harley V. Whitt and Clara E. Place? The time frame is right: Zora's stone shows 1915-1979 and the online info shows Ollus born about 1914. Thanks so much for the input.

Hello Vanette, I can give you a small amount of information on Zora Whitt. Zora Sharp was born in Daviess Co., MO. She was the daughter of Galen S. and Amanda E. Sharp. They are buried in the Brown Cem. Zora was married to Ollus Whitt and I believe he is still living. I know of several children that they had. Marilyn, Beverly Jean and Kathy. Also sons Norman, Allen and Loren Sisters and brothers were Susie, Josie, Dorothy, Lilly, Johnnie and Clay. Hope this info helps you to place her.

The cemetery is still being used for new burials, so the cd would be the complete list that we would use. I need to go back out there, but its been in the late 90s with the humidity awful lately. I also have been nursing my ill husband, so genealogy hasn't been at the fore front of my activity. Thanks for your generosity. Lanita

I have photos of the following stones. The "ands" and "&" indicate double stones. The ** marks names that I can't place in a family; the rest I can.

I'll try to remember to post a list of the ones I have tomorrow -- all 89 of them. It's a start. Would be more but my memory card got full. :-) I might have to burn them to CD and mail it or make a road trip to Gallatin -- uploading would take forever with my dialup connection.

Great! I need to go back there since I have found my McBRAYERs are buried there. It's hitting close to 100s [late 90s with humidity feeling it 100] so hopefully, we can get some pics taken soon. The Boy Scouts are busy cleaning up a couple of cemeteries which have been overgrown, so we will get pics asap. Lanita

If pics haven't been taken of all the stones in McCrary yet, I have some -- not nearly all, but some. All are .jpgs and cropped as small as practicable so that it is mostly just the stone itself. Vanette ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

These aren't specifically Daviess Co related, but Northern Missouri was pretty much all part of the same "community" from what I can tell. I know my dad traveled all across North MO when he was in high school. And what affected a neighborhood a hundred miles away (like KC or St Joe) affected everyone in some small degree. -----Original Message----- From: old news Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 10:45 AM To: missouri-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MO] Missouri Train Wrecks, Tornadoes and other disasters...
