Carole Goggin and I have located another unrecorded cemetery. It is located in T42 R3 S5 W1/2. It is on a very secluded wood hillside, no monuments but about 20 fieldstones and depressions. A ninety year old neighbor remembers the last burial as being Samuel Breaseale about 1920-30. Reportedly a very large man that had to have the coffin nailed shut. Until an "official" name can be found I am entering it in my records as "Unknown in T42 R3 S5". Dave Hallemann [email protected]

If there is someone who is interested, I am willing to pay someone for their time in searching for records of a Claude V. Rains, b. abt 1891-1893 in Sunflower County, MS and was in the War and died in 1952 and is burried in Forrest City, Arkansas in Hughes Cemetery. I have more info if there is anyone who can help me please. Thanks, Sue K in Seattle

RAYMOND SPENCER. Looking for information about Raymond Spencer who was in the Army stationed in England in May of 1944 near or at Cheddars. He went to France June 6th with the D Day landings. He returned to Somerset, England in June of 1945 before he returned to the US. Looking for Mr. Raymond, his family or Orbit. Can any one help? Believe he lived at Holt, Mo or Holt county or Holts Summit. I am not sure which before WWII. His daughter is looking for him. His family may not know of her existence but she would like to know what he was like and what happened to him. She only met him once when she was young. She waited until her mother died...to try and find him. I am afraid might be too late, to find him? I am involved because she wrote to my uncle because we have a Raymond Spencer in our family but he was not in the military service. I do have a picture of him so if any one is interested or thinks they can find this family I will send it to you. If any one knows how to look up local orbit would be very appreciative. . Birthday may have been May 9, 1923 if so he would have passed away in September of 1968. Additional information on this family may be: Shown on the 1930 census a Raymond Spencer 6 years old living in Cote Sans Dessien in Callaway County Missouri. This town in very close to Holts Summit according to the Latitude and Longitude and is in Callaway County Missouri. The census was taken on April 10, 1930 so Raymond would have still been six if his birthday is May 9th. In 1930 the parents listed are Ben and Hester; Sisters Mildred and Maude(?) and brother Henry and Hester's brother Frank. SSDI (Social Security Death Index) found a Raymond Spencer born May 9, 1923 died September 1968, SSN 498-14-9480 in Missouri. IF this is the corrcet one we dont know yet. Patricia Murrell Mata [email protected] Our family was contacted because we had a Raymond Spencer but he was not in the war.
