The 1900 census places John Holmes (b. 1836, Illinois) and wife Elizabeth (born 1848) with three of their seven children in Joplin Ward 3. The children who still lived with the parents were William, b. 1874, Ben H born 1888 and Virginia, born 1896. I believe another son was John, born 1882 and working as a laborer on a farm in Cherokee County KS. at this census If you know anything about the descendants of these children, i would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks !
