Are the tombstone inscriptions for the following cemetery documented somewhere? Fairview Cemetery Sherman Twp. Take Hwy 136 east to Hwy 146 and go south for a while. The cemetery is to the left of the highway. There is a small white church with Fairview on the front of it. My great grandmother Mary Catherine Oyler Strait, died 11 Jan 1858 is buried there according to family records. I'm trying to determine if there is a stone for her!! Her husband Bennet Strait & his second wife Louisa stones are there as well as Bennet's parents James & Perthena Strait!! (note I believe that the stones of the latter two have fallen down and are probably buried by now) TIA Richard F. Strait 7810 Grover Omaha, NE 68124-3328 402-393-2629 rfstrait@juno.com (plain text only) PS: Also is there any history of the Fairview church? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Surnames: FEE Submitter: Cindi Grim (clbgrim@earthlink.net) Date: 28 Mar 2002 Seeking information on JOHN FEE, husband of LORETTA(?) or daughter ANNA FEE, who was born in Andover, Harrison County on March 29, 1887. Anna was married 12/25/1905.

Does anyone have any information on Dr. Blair Stewart (1860-1925)? My great-aunt isn't sure just how he fits into our family tree (he was known as "Uncle" Blair to her). He might have been a brother of Sarah Emily "Emma" Stewart (my great-great grandmother), who was born in 1869 in Harrison Co, MO and married William Jackson Cooper in 1889. Or he could have been Emma's uncle, borther of her father, Fred Buise Stewart. The Stewarts have all been elusive to me - they tended to hide when the census taker came. If I had a more precise death date for Blair, I might be able to find an obituary that would help clear it up. Thanks, Rob. Rob. Taylor Columbia, MO

Here's an obituary for one of my great-grandmother's brothers. There were thirteen children in the family of Benjamin Perkins and Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Arnold Clark. I'm still seeking specific death dates for two of them: William Madison Clark (who died in 1935) and Walter W. Clark (who died in 1946). Is anyone else researching this family? Rob. >From undated, unnamed newspaper obituary: Obituary-Clark Jessee I.L. Clark was born Jan. 25, 1885, in Butler township near Matkins, and departed this life Oct. 1, 1958, at the age of 73 years, nine months and seven days.

Jessee was brought up in the Methodist faith, and passed away at the Fanning nursing home of Nevada, Mo. He leaves a host of nieces and nephews, and other relatives and friends. "Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent the voice we loved to hear Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach. "Sweet to remember him who once was near, And who, thought absent, is just as dear. In grief comes the thought so solemn and sweet, He is not dead - only sleep." Rob. Taylor Columbia, MO
