Looking for any information available about the above family, who were from Iron, Mo. The only thing found so far is the marriage of Louis Boerttler to Laura Felica Smith, on May 9, 1874, who was from St. Louis, Mo. If someone would have access to the 1900 census for Iron, maybe they would be there. Many thanks, Leta [email protected]

The shop owner told me it was sold at a yard sale by a lady who had married into the Signer family. I contacted that woman by phone and she told me that her husband had been dead over 40 years and that this picture came from his family and that she didn't know who the people were and that her husband never knew who the people were either. She said they might have been an aunt or an uncle, but that she just didn't know. I assume her husband had inherited it from his parents. Since she didn't know them and her children weren't interested in it, she just decided to get rid of it which is why she sold it at the yard sale. I do know that the Signer family was once a very prominent family in Iron County in that there was a Signer hardware business there many years ago. She said that the Signers are all dead now. I would like very much to identify the couple in t! his picture. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

Her parents, John and Precia White, were members of the ME Church, and their house was always a pleasant resting place for the pioneer preacher of the denomination in Madison Co., Mo. She became a member of the same Church, at or about the age of 20, and ever remained in the faith. She was a model wife, mother and mistress of her house, and consequently just what God made woman for. The funeral services took place on the 13th, at the Southern Methodist Church in Arcadia, and was attended by a large congregation. And thus our Bro. Whitworth and seven children are left to mourn their great loss...they shall meet the mother, as well as little Eliza and Ella who have preceded her, in that country where there is no death nor sorrow.--JC Berryman [Published in St. Louis Christian Advocate for year 1869]

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zMB.2ACI/900.1 Message Board Post: Gloria, I don't know about a Baptist church but I do know there was a Presbyterian Church in that time frame. Below is a link that offers more information on the Presbyterian church. http://web.umr.edu/~whmcinfo/shelf12/r295/info.html The First Presbyterian Church of Ironton was organized in September 1855. First called the Arcadia Church, the name was changed in May 1860. The church grew out of earlier assemblies in the Arcadia Valley by settlers drawn by the Iron Mountain speculation of 1837-1838. The first congregation consisted of Col. Cyrus Russell, Augustus Pease, Nathan Trumbull, and their families, all of whom were former residents of Connecticut. They began meeting in 1841 or 1842, adopting the articles of faith and code of the Congregational Church of Somers, Connecticut. The members had benefit of a pastor only occasionally. In 1853 the church obtained the services of the Rev. David Paxton from Farmington. Under his guidance the church was reorganized and application was made for membership in the Potosi Presbytery in 1855. Henry P. Russell and John P. Hayden were elected elders. In looking at Rolla's other holdings, I do see a mention of the First Baptist Church in Ironton, MO but it doesn't offer much. http://web.umr.edu/~whmcinfo/shelf20/r497/shelf.html I too would be interested in their church registers - they would offer quite a bit of genealogy data as would the Presbyterian Church's records.
