Hello, I am new to the list and have a question. My parents were married by a Charles MC DONALD in Jasper County, June 1944. I would like to know if anyone knows anything about the laws of marraige at the time, ie ages, residency requirements and if they know anything about Justice of the Peace Mr. Charles MCDONALD. Where did he live or where did he perform the services? Thank you Joyce Rowley

I have Logston (with a "T") family in northwestern Arkansas, just across the border from Missouri. Could this be the same family? My grandmother had brothers-in-law named Charles Logston and Bill Logston. They were at least part Indian, although I don't know what tribe...

Ruby, I took the liberty of looking online for the Webb City Library. Here is a link to it. http://www.webbcitylibrary.com/ You will find the help you need from the genealogy section of the website.

Since you know where she died and you know her name and date, research Webb City. They will likely have a website for their community listing the name of their town attractions, municipal buildings etc. Most communities do have their own website. You should be able to locate the name of the Newspaper for that community. An even better way will be to call information and ask them for the phone number for the Webb City Library. (Assuming Webb City has a library.) You should be able to get information from them regarding the name of the local newspaper and whether they have them on microfilm. Once you are armed with that information, contact your local library and ask them if they can get you the newspaper editions for the date of her death and the 2 or 3 days following her death that are on microfilm for interlibrary loan use. Most libraries will do this service for you. They may charge you a small few but will be worth it. It will give you the opportunity to research the newspapers for yourself and the thrill of discovery as well. Additionally, when you make your phone calls, try to locate the number for the sexton of the Carterville Cemetery. He/She will be able to give you the exact location and information of the grave if they have it in record and possibly even a map of the cemetery depending on whether they have one available. Hope you will find this to be of help for your search.

I don't know if this will help. It might be worth a try. Kansas had/has birth and death registers at some Towns City Halls. It's possible Missouri also had/has these registers also. http://www.joplinmo.org/ I doubt if it's mentioned on their site, but an email, letter or phone call might find out if they had them and where they are now. The ones in Kansas also listed either the doctor, midwife or person making the report. If she was a midwife for a period of time, she may have gotten her name in some of the records. This would be if she handled births herself and also reported them to the city. If she only accompanied the doctor on his rounds, it would probably be his name recorded even if she did the reporting.

Ken & Barbara Ralston- I picked up on the Ralston name. If your line is from Fannin or Gilmer Co., GA. I would like to exchange information Jean Hill

Go to the following website and there is a picture of the poor farm at Carthage with some information. http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_missouri.htm

I'm trying to place that poor farm. Does this look like the correct location to you?: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=37.14167&lon=-94.30917&datum=NAD27&s=24&size=l http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=37.14167&lon=-94.30917&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l Mike > On Sun, 12 Mar 2006, [email protected] wrote: > >A TB hospital was just north of Webb City limits and was such until into the > >1950's.

I would like to know if a Cluade Gray was ever in that hospital in about 1900'd to maybe 1935

In Carthage today across from teh Walmart store and near the big water tower is where the poor farm used to be. They did have their own cemetery and as I stated some of records is in one of Mrs. Belks books. I do have that book.
