I am trying to find the following info. ------------------------------------------------------------ I am trying to locate info and burial sites for some people who are likely buried in Jackson County, possibly in the Kansas City area. The main object of this inquiry, Mary J. (Schreiber) Burwell Lightner, is found at the end of the list. Floyd Burwell Born: 9 Jan 1889 Died: 13 Mar 1966 Flora Ethel (Offineer) Burwell Born: 4 Nov 1889 Died: 19 May 1967 William Lightner (One death record states that a William Lightner, possibly the one I am after, is buried in Green Lawn Cemetery.) I can't give any birth or death date info because I am rather unclear on it. The marriage license with Mary mentions that he was born in Independence, Missouri though. ------------------------------------------------- (I have removed Mary's other child as I have since discovered that she is likely buried with her husband in Higginsville City Cemetery.) ------------------------------------------------- I am hoping that there is a Mary J. buried with one of these people. She was a Schreiber from PA and I have been unable to track her down. I have no clue what surname she died under. She was last married to a William Lightner. I found a William Lightner in the Missouri Death Records which may be him. However, the record states that he was divorced. If it was, in fact, him, then Mary could be buried under any name. None of the Mary Lightner death records I looked through were correct. None were indicated as having come from Pennsylvania. The closest was Ohio. And as for Mary's birth info, that is also rather difficult to say. I believe she was born around 1864 in Pennsylvania. However, in the census records where she is an adult, the year gets younger with each census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
