I would love to have a copy. How would I go about getting one? Sara
I have confirmation from the Grand Lodge of Missouri that my great great grand father George P Foster was living in Iron at least in 1874, he became a member of Mosaic Lodge #351 in Belleview. His son George P Foster Jr married a Celia Syblia Jones in Iron in 1911. Celia was the daughter of MackPherson Jones. I am unble to find George Page Foster Sr in any of the Federal Census images. Does anyone know if there were state census' between 1850 and 1900 in Missouri? George Page Foster Sr is buried in Middlebrook Cemetary, Iron, Missouri, he died 18 Jun 1918. His wife Lucy A (Lauden) died in 1886 and is buried next to him. Apparently she died not too long after George Page Foster Jr was born (he was born 21 Feb 1885 in Graniteville). In the 1910 ED #21, Graniteville Mo Federal census I see what looks like a Georg D Foster married to an 72 or 52 (can't read) year old woman, I can't read her name. He is 72, which he would be since he was born in Jun and the census was 11 May, so the age matches. Just a few houses down is a Jay Hughe Jones married to a Joesphine Jones. Remember, I said that George P Foster's sone George P Foster Jr married Celia Sybia Jones the daughter of MackPherson Jones. Jehu (pronounced Jay Hughe) Jones is the father of MackPherson Jones, in 1910 he should have been have been around 62 in that census which he is, and his wife's name was Joesphine who shoulda have been around 62, which she is. So I'm guessing this is the George P Foster I'm looking for married to his 2nd wife, 7 years before his death living near the grandparents of his son's wife. I can't find him in the 1900, 1880, 1870, 1860, or 1850 Federal census. Maybe he's in the state census? Any help is appreciated. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
