Hi Rebecca, I don't know if this will help but listed in the Webb City Cemetery is the following: George L Wilson died July 28, 1917 age 65yrs cause of death paralysis On same stone: Amanda E. Wilson died Feb 17, 1894 Rachel

Thanks you Rachel, It helps a great deal. You just gave me proof I have the right George Wilson and my great great grandmother's date of death. Thank you so much.

Rachel, I don't mean to bother you but if you don't mind I have a question about Amanda Wilson. I spoke to a gentleman at the old records center in Carthage Mo. this morning and he was unable to locate anything on Amanda. A question came up as to how I knew she was buried with her husband George. He was able to locate George in the Hedge-Lewis mortuary book but when he looked at the Webb City cemetery listings he found no George or Amanda. The Hedge-Lewis book shows he is buried in Webb City cemetery. Can you tell me what information you found to show Amanda on George's headstone and if they are positively buried in Webb City Cemetery and not let's say Mt. Hope or one of the other cemeteries in Webb City. Sorry for being such a pest :-) Roberta ----- Original Message ----- From: <RachelC918@aol.com> To: <MOJASPER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 8:49 AM Subject: Re: [MOJASPER] George L.
