I have Ernest MOBLEY as the son of John Quincy and Mary Elizabeth REED MOBLEY. I, too, have Ernest as the son of John Quncy and Mary Elizabeth Reed Mobley. As to Omar, I have the following information: >From the Moberly Monitor-Index Wednesday 25 April, 1945, Page 2 Funeral Sunday For Omer Andrews, Higbee Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at New Hope Christian church, in Howard county, for Omer Andrews, 68, who died at his home in Higbee Friday evening from complications following an illness of 16 months. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. E.Y. Keiter, Jefferson City. Burial was in the New Hope Cemetery. Pallbearers were nephews of Mr. Andrews. They were Pet Andrews. Herschel Andrews. Verne Andrews. Louie Anderson, Russell Andrews and Seymour Andrews. Omer Andrews, son of Lewis and Martha Andrews, was born near Mount Hope Sept. 8, 1877. He was married to Josephine Hern , who survives. There were no children. He also leaves his stepmother, Mrs. Maggie Andrews, Kansas City, and one sister, Mrs Leona Anderson of Kansas City, who attended the funeral. Mrs. Anderson had been with her brother for some time. A brother, Vern Andrews, of Kansas City, also attended the funeral. Mr. Andrews had been a farmer in Howard county for a number of years. Later he was employed at the State School at Marshall until ill health forced him to retire. I do not know why the name of Hern is listed for Josie's maiden name, when it should have been Mobley. Their marriage of 2 May, 1897, is recorded at the Howard County courthouse in Fayette, in Book 3, page 346, where her name is listed as Mobley. Also, I have a picture of their headstone and the name Mobley is engraved on it. Following is her obit: >From the Moberly Monitor-Index Tuesday 6 July, 1965, Page 6 Mrs. Andrews Dies in Moberly; Funeral Thursday Mrs. Josephine Andrews, 87, 1127 Henry street, died at 2 a.m. today after an illness of two weeks.

Surviving are a large number of cousins in Randolph and Howard counties. A sister-in-law, Mrs Leona Anderson, and a brother-in-law Verne J. Andrews, live in Kansas City. The body is as the Million-Burton Greer Funeral Home in Higbee. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday in the New Hope Christian Church south of Higbee. Burial will be in the adjoining cemetery. She was the daughter of Steven Tilford and Mary Dougherty Mobley.
