I wonder if anyone is researching surname Williams in Joplin area? Bernie L. worked for gas company and his father's brother (James R. nicknamed "Pete") supposedly killed his wife in Joplin - caught her in bed with another man. James R.ran off never to be seen again. The elder Williams family, James L. and Effie, settled in Scott County, AR area 1880 census however sons roamed the area. Sons names were Nathan H., his sons were Alfred, Bernie, Chester. Could have worked strip mines over into OK. Have been thinking about coming to the area - does one library have more than another in Joplin such as city directory? I have no idea of dates included. Many thanks for any direction to go and look for leads. Betty

Thanks, at least this gives me a direction. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.M.

Nancy I think you did a great job in fulfilling the request you did.. Everyone should give you a BIG THANK YOU>. Here is my Thanks for a great job. I dont even have my family listed as Joplin High School. .... Deborah

I have uploaded the photo to ancientfaces.com. I hope they put it in the "Schools" section. But if not, it is listed under the name SPENCER in the family section. If you don't find it in the schools section, look there. I feel badly that I can't accomodate all the requests personally. I don't have the days it would take to fulfill all the individual requests, and my computer would experience a complete nervous breakdown if I tried. Sorry. Nancy Eckel

This is from Lowell & Tennessee Prarie A Historical Sketch of the Oldest Settled Portions of the County. Copied from the Modern Light, January 27, 1898. "In '59 or '60 the Colony settlement north of Spring River had a post office located there called Brushville, because of its nearness to Bush Creek. This was probably the first post office within the present limits of Cherokee County. This office was discontinued suddenly about the time of the battle of Carthage." Calvin went to Southeast Kansas, where he was one of the earliest settlers. He "broke out" some prairie land and built some cabins on the west side of Spring River near the mouth Shoal Creek which is now Cherokee Co., Kansas. Calvin appears in the Deerfield Township, Van Buren Co., MO., Census of 1840. Then in 1850 was in the Census for McDonald Co., MO. He probably later moved to Jasper County, Missouri, just a few miles east across the state line, and served as a Justice of the Peace in 1855. Calvin was appointed first postmaster 8 Dec 1858, at Brushville, McGee Co., KS., for a year or two. This info is found in a book called Kansas Post Offices, or similar. The stuff on Lowell and Tennessee Prairie says that the office was discontinued at the time of the battle of Carthage (date?). Calvin had built three cabins on his place, and about 1859 Quaker Valley Mills, a school was taught in one of them by the daughter of Dr. Lisle. He died before the Civil War and is buried near Carthage, Missouri. It shows that the post master and all took a private departure for the north, with what cattle and property they could collect hastily. Also I am showing a 1860 Census 8 Oct taken shows Calvin age 46 b.TN., Perlina age 41 b. TN., David S age 18 b. MO., Nancy Jane age 16 b. MO., William age 15 b. MO., James age 12 b. MO., George G. age 8 b. MO., Mary P age 7 b. MO., Julia Ann age 4 b. MO. (Don't know where the census was taken.) My questions is this, as early as March 26, 1839, Van Buren Co., Mo., m. to Perlina. 1840 Calvin appeared on the Deerfield Township, Van Buren Co., Mo. Census Then again 1850 Census McDonald Co., Mo. Justice of Peace 1855 at Jasper County, Mo., Calvin was apponited past master 8 Dec., 1859. Then if this Census for 1860 is correct then Calvin died during or after 1860. Also Perlina according to Norman James "an insurance policy issued to Garrett James died at the age of forty eight, of pneumonia. This would place his death in 1862, which is probably too late, Perlina died of malaria fever (?) at the age of 50. But this would place her death in 1869, and Jennie said she died during the war." Terry How many of Calvin and Perlina children was watched over by John R Blythe and also how many of his children was still there for Perlina to watch. I would think that Perlina became wealthy from the death of Calvin an John. Because if she went to Topeka, Kansas I sure that she didn't have to worry about remarrying to take care of the kids. Was her relative's living there? Why would she leave the farms (two) to go to the city? Has anybody got an Will or probate on Calvin or John? If not were would be the best place to look.

I am confused, who is Calvin, what is the maiden name of Perlina, who is the John you refer to that would have left Perlina with money also???

Hello, -I am looking for information on the MALONE & HARSTON family in Joplin Missouri before and after 1920- both of these are my great grand parents lines, My grandfather Charles John Malone died there in Feb. 18 1938, he was a pattern maker for the railroad in Iola Kansas where I was born, however he came back to Joplin Missouri before he died where he was living with his sister Bessie. I do not remember the names of my g grandparents Malone or Harston the last time that I saw them was about 1925 or so on the fourth of July , when we went o Joplin. I was 5 years old then and we lived on a farm in Bates Co. Near Merwin, Mo. Both of my great grand parents Malone and Harston were living in Joplin in about 1825/28. I have no birth or death dates however I remember them as gray and old , sitting on their porch swing, as my grandfather Malone and my uncle Jack Malone lit the fireworks. My great grand parents Robert Harston and Mary Ann Truex came from St. Louis and had a farm across the line in Ok. before retiring in Joplin. My mother would tell me about going to her grand father Harston's farm in Ok. where she would ride with him behind the team as he worked the fields. Both sets of my g grandparents died in Joplin,Mo. I could use lots of help if anyone knows anything about these people. Fordyce Logan, JR. LUBBOCK, TX.

I find no one with the name of Howell. Sorry. The bottom names are cut off in the photograph I have and it could be one of them, but I do not own the original. Nancy

Is there anyone on this list who could look up a family for me in the 1920 Jasper census? I am looking for the Herman Jones family. Wife, Mary, and youngest child, Marian. Marian was born in Carthage, but the family subsequently moved to Joplin on East 7th Street (East of the city limits). Am not sure if they would have been in Joplin or Carthage for the 1920 census. Thanks so much -

Morning Nancy, Only send a photo if it is a 'CROW" shown. If not, I do not need a picture. Thanks for the offer to share. I found in my grandmother photo album some tin type of either Crow or Gibson(grandmother maiden name). They do not have a name to the pictures so don't know who they are. If you know of someone with the name of Crow or Gibson I will be happy to e-mail them to them and see if they can identify. Thanks again for the generous offer to share your photos.

Surnames: Markwardt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/1978 Message Board Post: I am attempting to locate any information of the Markwardt Family. My GGrand Uncle Carl Markwardt immigrated from Germany, I believe in the late 1880s. My only family notes indicate he settled in Missouri and was a baker. I have located mentions of the Markwardt Bread Factory and the Markwardt Bakery from the 1930s located in Medoc and Joplin. I have been able to determine there is a Markwardt St. in Joplin but I have yet to be able to verify if it was my Uncle Carl. His year of birth was 1863 and he died in 1944. He was born in Mechlenberg, Germany. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for descendants of and information about William H. Bowman b. Jan 20, 1888 in MO, died Nov 1966 in Brooklyn Heights, Jasper Co., MO. Parents were John G. Bowman and Julia Mellhowellen Bowman. The were married between 1881 and 1888. Julia died by 1895. I am searching for this data, too. Kathryn Bowman Parks

Nancy, I'll maybe save you sending a photo of the 1905 year book, if there are any Butterfield's, Davis or Williams, I would love to have a copy of the picture. Thanks. Margaret Rollins yoyo4233@aol.com

I have two photos. First photo is a thrid and fourth grade picture at Range Line school taken Oct. 17, 1919. The second is 7th and 8th grade picture at Oakland School in 1923. Both pictures were taken at the same location. We are assuming that these pictures were taken around Joplin/Webb City because wifes mother was raised in this area. Anyone have any idea where this school is located? Appreciate any information.
