I went on to the Mo Site and got a copy of Nettie Richardsons Death Certificate. I am so excited. Can not imagine that that is available for free. Plus Debbie Geer sent me the Information on Dunklin S. Richardson. But can't get the Death Certificate. Yes, if at all possible please try to get a copy of his Certificate. That might be a great help. Mother says that he remarried after Emma T. Richardson died, to a Red Head but that is pretty much all she remembers. Just that the woman had quote: Bright RED HAIR. She thinks that woman also died, or they divorced after a very short time. But of course Mother thought that her Grandmother Richardson died within a year of her own Mother, Nettie (nee Richardson) White. Which according to the death certificates, Emma T. Richardson died May 31, 1925 and Nettie White died December 25, 1925. But as I understand from the stories Mother tells, her Mother (Nettie) was ill for several months before she died on Christmas. Sure that since Mother was young, and her Mother's death left her with a Brother who was also ill, and then was shiffted from Aunts & Uncles, and Father. Not surprising she does not keep it all exactly straight. She had said that it was her Great Grandmother on her Mother's side that died also within the same year. But I don't know if it would have been Great Grandmother Richardson, Great Grandmother Reed or possibly Great Grandmother White? Mother is very insistent that it was ALL THREE on her Mother's side of the family. So if she is correct it would either be a Richardson, (Dunklin S. 's Mother) or a Reed,, Emma or emmer Reed's Mother. Which would/could possibly be the E. Rasbury???? Mother kept in contact with a Earl Richardson who she said was HER Uncle. He later moved to Texas and had a son and daughter that quote :"were Big Important Doctors and Nurses in Houston, Texas". It would probably be very interesting to connect with Earl R. Richardson Born abt. 1901 children because they might know more of the family history. Do you have any idea where Gibson Cemetery is located??? If your able to locate Dunklin S. Richardson in the 1930 Census that would be a big help. Also if your able to obtain a copy of Nettie White's death certificate I would appreciate a copy. Now, can you give me some help about Earnest James Richardson, do you have any idea what name he went by? Also his wife Irene Raines where about's did she live in Campbell? My Mother would be close to her age probably, and so she quiet possibly will remember her. Did she have brothers or sisters? What were her parents names? Mother lived in Campbell until 1941 and would make trips back to see her brother and Dad. My Dad was also from Campbell but he was from other side of town and was quiet a bit older than my Mother. My Mother also still keeps in contact with her Sister-In-Law who still resides in Campbell and the two of them both seem to have good memories of the "Missouri Folks". It helps when I ask Mother if I have an idea of where they lived, and maybe their parents names since she seems to have pretty good recall of names, and then will start telling "tales" and "secrets" about them. Ha. But unfortunately it seems like they all had nick names or else shortened their names from what is listed on their birth records. I ran into that on my Daddy's side, two men with the same name and related, but one was known as "Smokin Frank" and the other "Loud Mouth Frank". Actually they were both actually Benjamin Franklin Snider's, as it turns out. Ha. I wonder where in Tennessee most of the Campbell people came from? I know my uncle was originally born in Kentucky and several of the Kentucky people moved to Campbell, later to farm. So probably the same with the Richardsons????? Same is true apparently with the Elders. I had not been sure Mother was right about Dunklin Richardson because I wondered if they just called him Dunklin because of Dunklin County. But sure enough guess she was right. Thanks again for all your help. Hope to hear from you soon, and I will then sit down and ask Mother. Sharon Weaver
