Freeway and built above-grade roadway has changed the entire area. Nothing there but a park and freeway & roadway embankments.

R.A.Long had his mansion up there as well as a few other "gentry". Seems to me the Italian neighborhood was north of 9th street for the most part and east of Main for residential and the high schools would have been Manual or NorthEast.

I also discovered my grandfather's address for his marriage license in KC was 617 Independence Ave. I always heard my grandmother, father and mother (she was not Italian) talk about the North End. Do you know what the boundaries of the North End were? My grandparent moved to 4421 E 6 Street by the 1930 census. That seems away from the North End, it seems to me. Is that correct?

The old city market was at 3rd and Main- not over as far as Cherry. There aren't many of us older citizens who were alive in 1900 and can use the computer so I think your out of luck there. Unless you were Italian, or had business at the City Market or the City Hall, most "other citizens" stayed out of the North End unless you went with your Italian friends. It had a sinister reputation in the 1930-40 era. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mrs. Anna DURHAM swore out a warrant before Justice WORTHEN Thursday for the arrest of Thomas DURHAM, her husband, on the charge of stealing $63 worth of her household goods. The couple had not been living together for several months and had divided their possessions. A few days ago Mrs. DURHAM packed up her household goods at 1714 Cherry street preparatory to shipping them to her parents in Indiana to whom she intended to go. DURHAM offered to have the goods taken to the Union depot and was entrusted with the job. The goods never reached the Union depot. Neither could Mrs. DURHAM find them nor get trace of her husband. She then invoked the aid of the law. The warrant for DURHAM was given to Deputy Marshals KESHLEAF and HALPIN, who found him at his brother's farm south of the city yesterday morning. He was lodged in jail and will have a hearing Monday before Justice WORTHEN. The deputy marshals also located the goods in a second hand store on Grand avenue where they had been sold for $5. They were taken in charge by Marshal STEWART. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There apparently is no 615 Independence Avenue in KC now (according to mapquest). Independence Ave now appears to turn into Cherry where 615 might have been. The time frame I'm interested in is the early 1900s. Whatever was there may have been close to Columbus Square which was renamed from Washington Square in the 1920s. The Karnes Elementary school was at Columbus Square. (It was torn down in the 1990s.) Karnes was known as the Italian school. My grandfather's ship's manifest said he was going to go to 613-615 Independence Avenue in KC where his aunt Elisabetta Leone was. (Grandpa was a Rotondi and then Retonde.) His 1917 draft registration said he was living at 615 Independence Ave. The death certificate for an Italian (Basile - perhaps a relative) said he was a banker at the farm exchange at 615 Independence Ave. That same person applied for a passport in 1905 and requested that the passport be delivered to 615 Independence Ave. Could this have been the old farmer's market in KC? Does anyone know what was at this address from 1907 to 1918? I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mrs. Martin was born March 5, 1921, in Kansas City, MO, daughter of the late Thomas McCall and Lottie Thorpe Speers. She was a professional model with Jean's Mannequin Guild in Kansas City. During World War II, Mrs. Martin was an air traffic controller when she met Lt. Col. Ernest Moore Martin of Albemarle, who served in the Pacific as a pilot with the 380th Bombardment group.

She was a chairman and faithful member of the Roanoke Christian Woman's Club, a member of the Asheville, NC, Christian Women's Club, and First Baptist Church in Roanoke, VA. Mrs. Martin was also a past president of the Philadelphia Chapter of Christians Women's Club during the time she lived in Paoli, PA. Surviving are her son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Nina Martin of Coppell, TX; two daughters and sons-in-law, Elaine and Redding White of Arlington, TX, and Vicki and Jere Cunningham of Pinnacle; five grandchildren, Matthew Herron, Melissa Herron-Goldman, Joshua Ives, Rebekah Klyukin, and Sarah Martin; and three great-grandchildren, Martin Herron, Maggie Herron, and Alexander Ives.

The funeral service will be held Thursday, March 18, 2010, at 1:00 PM at Shoals United Methodist Church. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. No formal visitation will be held at the funeral home or the church. The family is so thankful to her special friends and caregivers: Jennia Turney, who was always faithful; Doris Gilbreth, who became Mom's new friend and made her laugh; Shannon Parker, who guarded her nights; Yonna Reed, who brought Mom eggs from her own chickens; Vivian Patterson, who prayed with her.

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Sunday, October 8, 1871 A Young Girl Burned to Death. A most heart rending occurrence took place at Parkville, on the Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad, on Thursday evening. A daughter of T. H. McDONALD, aged fourteen years, had it seems lit a match, which she let fall on the floor. Instead of going out, it blazed up; the flames communicated to her clothing, and before assistance could possibly be rendered, she was burned so badly that she died in about two hours. The sufferings of the poor young girl are said to have been intense, and the agony of parents may be better imagined than described. The sad affair has thrown a gloom over the entire neighborhood. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

Mr. Jerome D.
