Sue, Odds are an obit in the Galena paper would have also appeared in the Joplin Globe or Joplin News Herald in Joplin, MO. 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.

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.

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

I am wondering if we may be related, and if you could give me your Palmer info? I know nothing about my Palmer descendants, other than the fact that my gg-grandpa, R.G. Palmer was born in MO. R.G. was a cattleman, and when riding through Dyer Co., TN, met and married my gg-grandma, Ada Bishop, in 1888. I don't have a birth date for R.G., but Ada was born in 1867. R.G. got on his horse one day, never to return, leaving Ada alone to raise Alma and Henry. Rumor was that R.G. went to California. R.G. and Ada had two children: Alma Palmer b: 1890 Henry Palmer b: 1892 Alma married DeWitt W.

I then filled in my member Name:; E-Mail:; I corrected the Cemetery name to agree with the map and site, and indicated I'd added info for others in the Subject:; and Message:. Most of the time the Subject is left alone. This makes it easier to track the query. If the query changes, so should the Subject. Not everyone agrees on this. Hijacking of the query without changing the Subject can be a problem! Since I am a mailing list member, I un-ticked "Send me an e-mail when anyone replies to this message". If this is left ticked you should receive an e-mail when someone answers the query from the message board. This is in addition to the mailing list e-mail. You should also receive an e-mail when someone answers only on the mailing list. Unfortunately, the person asking for help WILL NOT see the e-mails from the mailing list members UNLESS they know to check the mailing list archives or they are a member of the mailing list! If the mailing list members really want to help the person asking for help, this is the correct procedure. If the mailing list members want to post a query, I recommend posting on the Message Board where you can get answers from both the Message Board members and the Mailing List members. One post, possible information from 2 sources, this just makes sense to me. The Message Boards and Mailing Lists connection sometimes doesn't work as it should, but most of the time it does.

Does anyone have Ancestry.com? I have been told by a friend that Ancesstry has some of the ports and some of the years with an index. John Lortz/Lutz Sr. and his wife Mary C. Schantz and some of his first born children came to the United States in 1829 from Viederhausen in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. He was a shoemaker by trade. They settled in Cumberland County Pennsyvania for about ten years before moving to St. Clair, IL. One person told me that since they lived in Pennsyvania they may have come in by one of three ports: New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore. Hope someone might be able to help or give suggestions. Thanks, Sue

Hi Missy Sue! Long time no talk!! I lost my computer info some time ago and have never been able to replace some of it, but my ancestry stuff was on another. I wanted to say I have ancestry.com and all the bells and whistles, BUT I just yesterday arrived from there in MO. I went and picked up my Dad and all his belongings and have brought him out here to live with me. Of course emptying a house of those many years belongings was a chore, so I didn't get to do any ancestry stuff. But, when we get unpacked, if you don't have what you need, I"ll be happy to look for it for you. I went to Europe before going to MO so I've been gone from here a month. You can imagine I have a little bit to do!

-----Original Message----- From: Fleta [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ARCARROL] Newspaper clipping about {cir 1900} handling of sickness and death An item that some might find interesting from Virgie Gaddy Snyder [1893-1966] scrapebook given to Fleta Aday by Ann Walker April 2005. Newspaper clipping, undated, name of newspaper not noted, my guess on the date is about 1940. Mrs. Parthenia Gaddy Wilson {1891-1956} of Marionville {MO.} writes me some early facts about sickness and death in our pioneer times. There are two great changes and improvements we have which I often think about. One is the caring for the sick and the other is putting away the dead. Less than forty years ago we traveled in farm wagons over rough, dusty or muddy roads and through deep timber where we could not see our way on dark nights. There were no paved or smooth surfaced roads, no cars, telephones or electric lights. When anyone in the country was sick, a member of the family or neighbors rode on horseback after a doctor usually miles away, and then if they found the doctor at home, started the long journey back. If anyone was seriously ill, the neighbor in the community who had the fastest hours, made the trip for the doctor. People at that time knew more about giving first aid than we do now. It was something unusual to hear the clatter of horses' feet after ten at night; when we did we felt sure someone was sick. My father always got up and if they were passing he called: "Who rides there?! " Often the clatter of hoofs stopped and a voice would call-"Hello George!" My parents both helped care for the sick and if both went, often I went along. I remember riding in the front of my father's saddle with him over rough roads. There were no hospitals only in the city nearest us. None whatever in the small towns as they have sometimes now. The nearest us was at Springfield {MO} thirty miles away. If a sick person was taken to a hospital he had to ride in a wagon or hack. If a seriously sick person had to be moved for one two or three miles, he was carried on a cot. The neighbor men gathered in and took turns carrying the cot. Some went along and carried water and medicine. If the sun was hot, someone carried an umbrella over the patient. The old pioneer doctors and preachers are to be praised as much as the pioneer farmers. They all worked together shoulder to shoulder in building this country. When someone in the community died, a neighbor, sometimes t! wo started for town in a farm wagon carrying a hickory of hazel stick just the length of the dead. They brought back those old narrow coffins that tapered down form the shoulders. More often they made the coffins. Some of the neighbors washed and dressed the body, put nickels on the eyelids, tied a cloth around the head and under the chin, put a damp cloth over the face, and waited for the coffin to arrive. The body was hauled in a farm wagon or hack to the burial, often over terrible roads. Warm Regards, Fleta ==== ARCARROL Mailing List ==== Make the world a better place.
