I recently found a picture of THE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN on a Jasper County Website. This building was located near Paradise Cemetery and was completed around Christmas of 1886. My gr gr grandfather was Rev. John Lewis Condon who preached in the United Brethren in Christ Church and was in Jasper County in 1890. Can anyone tell me if The Church of the Brethren is the same as United Brethren in Christ? Any information about this would be apreciated. Jo Ann Collier

I am trying to locate an obituary for John Riley Nicholson. He passed away on Feb. 8, 1927. A thank you note to the public was posted in the Carl Junction Standard of Carl Junction, Missouri on Feb. 18, 1927. I would assume that the obituary may have been in the Feb. 11th Standard. I do not know if it might have been in the Joplin Globe. Thank you, Carolyn Sue Smith

(BLEVINS MYRICK) GREEN (I believe that was her last name when she was killed). b. 1902, died 1964 around Diamond MO. Josie was a 1st cousin to my mother. The story goes that she was murdered by her 2nd husband, last name believed to be Green or something similiar. Two of Josie's brothers had gone to her home in Diamond looking for her. Her husband told them she'd been gone for several days and he didn't know where she was. He would not let them look in the house. It is believed Josie's body was in the bathtub at the time. Her body was later found by one of her brothers and one of her sons. It has been chopped up and thrown into a well. The obit/newspaper article(s) would be great. I would also like to find out about the trial/sencencing if possible. It is believed that her husband served time in a MO prison and was later committed to a mental hospital. While this is a sensational story, other such stories I've been told have not been exactly true. I would appreciate any help you can give and I'm willing to pay for copying/mailing fees.

Have you tried getting a copy of his service record or Civil War pension record? If he was a soldier when he died, his widow probably would have filed for a pension.
