C., Alex and Tobe Cleeton, of this place, and Mrs. Jasper Hamilton of Renick, went to Prairie Hill yesterday to attend the funeral of their niece, Miss Rosie Naylor, who died at that place Wednesday292 . Research: From: kenr@netins.net May be of some help on Melinda Cleeton. There is a Malinda Elizabeth Cleeton b.c1842 who was daughter of Moses & Mariah (Hargis) Cleeton. Her older brother is John Benton Cleeton who married Eliza Jane Naylor 21 Jan 1858 Howard Co. MO. I suspect that is the one your looking for, but I don't have anything to prove that she is the Melinda who married John Naylor. Wifes Notes... Notes: 1915 The Higbee News Friday, 8 Oct 1915--MRS. ELIZA JANE CLEETON DEAD--At 5:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Eliza Jane Cleeton, 76 years old died at the family home in Clark. Funeral services were held at that place this morning, conducted by the Rev. W. T. Henson of this city and the remains were brought through here and taken to Salisbury for burial in the Prairie Valley cemetery. Mrs. Cleeton was one of the most highly respected ladies in this county. Last summer she suffered a paralytic stroke, but apparently regained her health. About a month ago, however, she again became ill, and the Saturday before her death she suffered another paralytic stroke to which she succumbed. Mrs. Cleeton is survived by two daughters, Mrs. John T. Williams, Denver, Colo., and Mrs. John Hamilton of near Renick; three sons, Mose Cleeton, of Clark; Jim Cleeton of Moberly and Alec Cleeton, of Salisbury. Two brothers, J. B. Naylor, of Prairie Hill and W. H. Naylor, of Woodland, Cal. also are left to mourn her death--Moberly Monitor.292 Last Modified: 25 Apr 2003 Reference Note 292 mkbowlin@iland.net (Kathy Bowlin) Compiled by: Linda Mannin Jupep@aol.com --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
