FYI? The Avila University's library is the Hooley-Bundschu Library.? I have no idea who Hooley and Bundschu were, but Bundschu has to be yours. Avila University is a Catholic university located in southwest Kansas City, MO.? For some strange reason, I could not an e-mail address for the library, but the general address for the university is www.avila.edu.? I am sure you can send an e-mail to this address and ask them to forward it on to the Reference Deks in the library. Happy searching!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: KyResearchNut Surnames: COMPTON Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.jackson/6246/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Taken from Kentucky Advocate, Danville, KY, Feb 11, 1921 COMPTON - Former Garrard Co. Citizen Dies in Independence, Missouri. George L. Compton, who was born at Buena Vista, Garrard County, September 28, 1831, died at his home in Independence,, Mo, to which city he moved in 1854. With a friend he started to California seeking adventure. They stopped off at Independence and Mr. Compton took a position overseeing a ranch, later resigning and taking a place as stage driver, which then was the only means of communication between Independence and the Western settlements of the country. For many years he drove the stage and the mail wagon over the old Santa Fe trail. In 1885, Mr. Compton went into the real estate business in Kansas City and Independence, becoming a wealthy man. He maintained a winter home in Los Angeles, where he had spent many winters until this season when his physical health did not permit him to make the trip. He used to tell of his trips between Independence and New Mexico, saying he had stood watching buffalo run at a high speed in such numbers that it required one hour for the herd to pass a given point. He was probably the last living man of that section who was active in driving over the old Santa Fe trail between his town and New Mexico. Many times his return load from Santa Fe was made up entirely of sacks containing silver dollars. If he arrived in Independence after the banks were closed, it was his custom to unload the silver on the sidewalks, leaving it there overnight unguarded.

Just click on the link for Pre-1910 death certifictes. Unfortunately death records prior to 1910 don't include that much info. But, at least her name was spelled correctly! The certificate says she died on 08/21/1895. The place of death is listed as 17th & Chestnut. The cause of death is old age. Her age is listed as 74 and her place of birth is listed as KY. There is not a cemetery listed. I didn't find a listing for Lawson Moore but, there are several L. Moore's that could be him. You might try looking for Jackson County cemeteries online..if they were Catholic you should check out Catholic cemeteries such as St. Mary's. You can also call the cemeteries and they can check to see if they are buried there. Good luck! Jody Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Use the advanced search feature and search this board for a Key Word of Mid Continent and my Username. Read a few of the hits until you find the link for the Mid Continent Library. Send a request for Nina McNay's obituary. As she died in 1982 her obituary should be in their collection. 2. Contact the cemetery she is buried in and see what if any information they have on a burial for Edgar. Most likely they will have his burial date. 3. Contact the Mid Continent Library again, with Edgar's burial date and maybe they will look in the microfilms for his obituary. Or post the date on line. As you can see by reading through the board, those getting responses to obituary requests have the complete date. Obituaries published in KC in 1971 are not indexed. Most of the major cemeteries in Kansas City MO also do not have published indices. Very few folks, if any will spend the time to search through the microfilms of two daily newspapers(KC TIMES and KC STAR) to find an obituary. The final option is to talk with your library and see if they can interlibrary loan the microfilms for you. There will be one film for each week or partial week. The films will have both the TIMES (mornings six days a week) and the STAR (six evening a week and Sunday). The obituary usually appears only once in one but not both papers. A death notice will appear in the classified section in both papers. The death notice is usually published for 2-3 days after the death is announced, until the day of the funeral.

One or more of the messages you find will have a link and information on how to get obituaries from the Genealogy Dept. of the library. If an obituary was published in 1982 in either the KC TIMES or KC STAR newspapers they will be able to find it with just the SSDI information. They can also check their indices for the Independence newspaper. Good Luck Dave Goldy Overland Park, KS Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
