Anyone searching in Jasper County 1930, if you come across Joseph Etheridge/Ethridge with wife Gwyndola or Ann C. Ethridge/Etheridge, would you please send the information to me. These are my Grandparents and Great Grandmother. I don't have access to the 1930 MO census. Thanks, Leona

Go to ancestry.com and enter the name "Lucinda Ellen Tipsword". Go to the the online family trees and look at the family tree "Sims2001". There are lots of Doty/Doughty family members in this list. I don't know if any of this line made it to MO or not (my Tipswords and Dotys did not), but it would be worth taking a look at! If you can't figure it out, e-mail me directly and I'll give you more precise instructions.

Here is a Civil War letter from my Great Grandfather, then 18, who was a "100day soldier" (an effort for the Union to provide much needed soldiers in short times), written to his wife-to-be in Boonville Indiana. I just transcribed it today and thought it was interesting enough to send on to the person who was looking for Civil War material. Nancy Eckel To Maggie from Galen in Nashville, TN in the Army June 4, 1864 My own darling Maggie: Your long looked for and anxiously awaited letter came to hand yesterday evening. It is the second one I have received from you since I have been out. No one can tell until he has tried it how much good it does a Soldier to receive letters from home friends. No one can tell how much good it does me to receive letters from you. I do wish I could receive them regularly once a week. I have written to you every chance I have had and I shall continue to do so I assure you. Of course I shall do with you just as I would be done by if anybody is of a mind to talk about my writing so much he can just talk. If anyone is a mind to tell that you were on the street “Hollowing and crying” the day I left they will just have to tell it I suppose. I am sure I saw no such a thing and whoever says he did is simply guilty of wilful culamination{?}— if not downright lying. I am glad that you and Lucy and Mollie are all right on the friendship question again. I suppose the Butternuts really are having a fine time but thank fortune our time of service will be out before the election comes off. Let them go, “Every dog has his day.” You spoke of receiving a letter from a young lady a little before you wrote me in which she sent her photograph. You said you answered her letter the same evening and asked her to come and see you next winter and why you wanted her to come &c. You forgot to tell me her name. You left it out by mistake I see. I suppose it was Jennie Allen was it not? It is all right. I just wanted to know her name.——— Well Maggie to tell you all we have been doing since I wrote you last is impossible. I will simply say we have been soldering. Wednesday evening we were ordered out of our Quarters to give room for another Company which was to stay where we had to pitch our tents while it was raining torrents. The principal thing we did next day was to pack up our wet things and march to Colesburgh. Staid[sic] there until ten oclock that night when we took the cars for this place. We got here at 4 oclock yesterday evening. Marched out on the commons about one mile from the depot and pitched our tents. I slept as soundly as could be lying on the ground with my blanket around me. Everything is confusion now. We are getting ready to march. I suppose we will have to take it on foor the rest of the way. If I can only be well I don’t care where we go. I have been about half sick with a cold ever since I have left[crossed out] been out. I have a very severe cough but hope I shall get used to being out before long so that I shall not take cold. Every day I am going to do the best that I can at any rate and hope I shall be ready for duty all the time. This is a low dirty town. I never saw so many flies before. Every place is literally alive with them. They bother me so that I can scarcely write at all. Besides this botheration there is an unceasing hubbub of confusion all around here, some laughing, swearing, singing and I do not know what they are not doing. Our Company was having some Records taken while at Indianapolis. I ordered one sent to you. You can do what you please with it. I received a letter from Jennie Day this morning. She said she had got one of my Photographs. I suppose they came out all right. I think I sent enough to supply all I had promised them to. If not send me word as I have received the other half of them. Jim McCalla received a letter from Sue yesterday evenihng and another one this morning. I am glad that you received more letters from me than Sue had from Jim because I know you were glad to get them. Some of the companies are starting off and I suppose we will in a few minutes so I must close and mail this while I can for when the order to march is given there is no chance for anything else. Give my love to your Mother and Father and all inquiring friends. I hope that God will take care of us both and permit us soon to meet again here if not to dwell together Forever. I am still determined ever to live a Christian. I have no Idea where I will be when I get to write again. I am your loving Galen forever. P.S. Lotson[?] Neavis is here in the hospital sick. I did not get in to see him. Pete Weirbacker and Maj. or Capt. Lankford[?] were out here yesterday evening. Write soon and often to your own Galen Spencer.

Thank you very much. I have never been 'into' genealogy and I don't know where to begin. I have only a few names and the stories that accompanied, which I heard while growing up. I have been to Joplin a number of times for funerals and not many people consider that to be fun. Now after the recent event of my older brother's (John Sergeant) death, I would like to find out a lot more about how my family began. My concern is that I don't have any other relatives alive other than my cousin, Robert Keller Lewis Jr., however; I do have a few pictures. Neosho? Carthage, Webb City, Springfeild and a few other names are about all I have other than my ancestor's names and I hardly have any of them. If you have any ideas how or where I might begin; please let me know and I thank you so much for you taking the time to respond to my query. I sincerely appreciate your response. God bless you.

I want to thank each and every veteran on the lists that I subscribe to, and tho those other lists that aren't listed, for your service to our country. It was your serving, and that of your fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, and their ancestors, that have kept this great country free for all of us to enjoy. My deep felt admiration goes out to each of you on this Memorial Day. May your day be pleasant, and enjoyable! THANKS!!!!!! Ron Grassi Coralville, Iowa

Ellen, The following hyperlink has an incredible variety of websites pertaining to the Civil War in MO including some things about reenactors activities: <A HREF="http://home.usmo.com/~momollus/Mocwlink.htm">Index to the Civil War in Missouri</A> Hope this helps you out :-) Jill

Don't have any pictures, but my great grandfather, George Rader, enlisted in July 1861 at Fort Scott, KS. He was a sgt. in the commissary dept. there. After the War he is credited with being the first man to come to Carthage. [August 1865} He started a little store with the goods he hauled there from Ft. Scott. George was the first postmaster of Carthage and later on the mayor. The Powers Museum in Carthage is a great source for history in that area. The curator is Michele Hansford. Good luck, Amanda.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/1988 Message Board Post: I am the last Sergeant alive that I know of as I buried my brother John on Friday, May 25, 2002. This has made it imperative that I learn, at least, something about my ancestors. My great grandfather on my father's side was John B. Sergeant, my grandfather was Walter and my father, John Earl Sergeant, was born in Joplin on August 26, 1911. He married Kathryn Ann Lewis, also born in Joplin (July 3,1910). She was the daughter of Harry L. Lewis and Rose Keller, my grandparents on my mother's side. Harry owned and operated a machine shop in Joplin, MO. Rose, my grandmother, who was very special to me, was born in 1883 and her maiden name was Keller. She and Harry had three children; Kathryn Ann Lewis, Marjorie Louise Lewis and Robert Keller Lewis. My cousin and I will be coming to Joplin in two weeks to bring my Aunt's remains to Mount Hope Cemetery. His name is Robert Keller Lewis Jr. We would like to learn a little about our family as he is also the last Lewis. Thanking anyone in advance, William Charles Sergeant

I don't personally have any stories at the moment. I want to look into my own family at that time later. But if you go to google.com and type in "Civil War Missouri", you'll find many resources. They may or may not pay off. However, they have links that might be fruitful.

Does anyone have access to a Jasper Co., cemetery dircetory, who would be willing to do a lookup. I am seeking information on Thomas or T.R. May. Lived in the city of Joplin. Born in 1832 in IL. He was listed in the 1883 Jasper County History Book as a grocery store owner in Joplin. Any help will be appreciated. His wife Elizbeth J. died in 1883 and is burried in a Joplin Cemetery. I really would appreciate a look up for T.R. and Elizabeth May died 1883 and T.R. later. Thanks, Mary

Hi to the group. I have received so much information and help from this group that I can't explain how appreciative I am. I will try another question. My ancestor Elder John A. Whiteley and his wife, Nancy Caroline Walters Whiteley are buried in the Taylor Cemetery near Avilla, MO. Her grandmother was a Taylor. I wonder if there was a connection to her family. Does anyone know anything about the Taylor Cemetery, the family who started it or what happened to the Primitive Baptist Church in that area? Kathryn
