Olivia brought her mother, Rebecca, from West Virginia to Missouri with her when she married. Rebecca Criss McCullough died on Dec. 12, 1918 and is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Webb City, MO. Olivia and Walter Campbell had sons Floyd E. and Edwin D. and a daughter, Lena R. who married Elmer McMillin. They lived in Jolin, MO and are listed on the 1910 census onward. I believe Lena and Elmer had a daughter, Leanne. She would have been born between 1939-1942. I have a picture of the two of us in 1951 when I was just 2. Any information on this family would be greatly apreciated.

LDS records for MO in SLC. Just got back Saturday from a week there. Go to their web-site: familysearch.org and under Search say Missouri - then prepare yourself for the deluge of material. If you expect your friend (may soon be ex-friend) to look at them all you will have to expect a long extended visit. SLC is starting to put all their records in digital format and to have much of it available on-online - don't expect it overnight as it is a daunting task. Soooo take your vitamins so that you may stay healthy until such time as you can sit at home and look at all of it.

It would not necessarily have appeared in both editions of Joplin papers. If it did, it would usually be death notice in the 1st paper and the final arrangements in the 2nd paper. Time of death could determine which paper it appeared in first. The Joplin Public Library http://www.joplinpubliclibrary.org/ or someone on the mailing list or Jasper County MO Message board http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa. states.missouri.counties.jasper might check since you have a date. They'll apparently just have to search for the surnames Weir or Wear since you don't seem to know the given name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you checked the Census Records? I found a number of names etc. wrong, but I have to admit my familiarity with the names made it easy for me to see their mistakes. http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/ks/cherokee/ 1920 PG# LN# ED SH# LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE BIRTHPLACE FILE-NAME 96A 29 20 2A Weir David Joe 10 Kansas ed20-pg095a.txt 96A 26 20 2A Weir David K. 51 Scotland ed20-pg095a.txt 96A 27 20 2A Weir Eliza J. 32 Indiana ed20-pg095a.txt 96A 28 20 2A Weir Mildred 17 Kansas ed20-pg095a.txt http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/ks/cherokee/1920/ed20-pg095a. txt What I don't understand is why HeritageQuest shows these and they don't Surname Given Name Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year WEIR H P 57 M W IL KS CHEROKEE 2-WD; WEIR 1920 WEIR WATSON 38 M W KS KS CHEROKEE PLEASANT VIEW TWP 1920 WEIR WILLIAM L 50 M W IL KS CHEROKEE 2-WD; WEIR 1920 yet HQ doesn't show the Weir, David K. Family. They are definitely there, the handwriting isn't great but after looking at the 4 of them, Weir is the logical assumption. They don't show any Weir in Cherokee County in 1930. Since HQ doesn't have 1930 searchable yet, I don't know if they are right. ~~~~~~~~~~~ 1929 Telephone Directory for Galena, Kansas Weir, D.

"Frank Weir or a Will/William Weir. Will Wear is buried in Oak Hill cemetery and has dates 1869 -1936." These are the Weir and there is no Wear in this Oak Hill Cemetery listing. 26 is Marilyn's location # for her own use. Weir, David K. 26 1870 1937 Burial 4/01/1937 [Galena Times Obit dated April 2, 1937] This is certainly close. Weir, Eliza J. 26 1886 1964 Burial 4/27/1964 Weir, Mildred E. 26 8/25/1917 4/17/1989 In City Hall Oak Hill records there was a Wear, Mary Ellen xx 3/12/1957 is record date, which may be a purchase or burial date. There is no stone. Are you sure he was buried and has a stone in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Galena, Kansas. It may be possible the stone was missed or was unreadable. Oak Hill is a popular cemetery name. I checked Timberhill/Oak Hill and there wasn't any Weir there. http://www.kshs.org/library/news.htm These are the Kansas papers that may have it. Many obits also appeared in the County seat papers at Columbus, KS.

It's always stopped me before when I did something wrong. I guess I can't depend on it anymore.
