Just for fun, have annotated the posting, thank you Blackwolf for contributing this, had not gotten around to integrating this material, which I think you got from the Missouri State Archives Website? Anyone know what happened to Frank Likins, son of John L. Likins and Laura Holman Likins? Interesting side note, John L. Likins was the Greene County Clerk (don't know yet for how long) and wife Laura was the assistant county clerk during the 1920's and 1930's.
