I have a Virginia Ogle that married a David Porter. Is there any connection?

I, too, am researching Frazier's from Jefferson Co; Missouri! My primary persons of interest right now are John (Jack)Thompson FRAZIER & his wife Genetta (Nettie) DANIELS who are buried in the Charter Baptist Church Cemetary. To the best of my knowledge their children were: John Ira, William S; Effie Elba (Decker), Essie, Georgia E. (Boyer), Eli Thomas, Finis L; Lilburn, George Cleveland & Lemual FRAZIER (died as an infant). If any of these names are familiar please contact me! Sincerely, Donell Frazier

Thank you to everyone who answered my note. I appreciate your kindness. I now have information check out. Arlene

Arlene, There's a fairly new Super 8 Motel in Potosi which is down Highway 21 South, not far from DeSoto. Their phone number is: 573-438-8888. There's also (or was) the Arlington Bed & Breakfast Inn which is right across the tracks from the library in DeSoto. Now that would be handy! According to the phone book I have, their phone number is 636-337-0043. I have no idea what their rates would be, but it looks very nice from the outside. It was originally an old hotel by the railroad tracks. Here is the link to their web site: http://www.bnblist.com/mo/arlington/ Good Luck!

Is there a Person to write to , to request for a census of the years of 1890 and 1900 ? I am looking for a Arris ( or aris ) and Eugenia Roque ( or Rock ) Their names have been misspelled in other census reports , so I have to list them as they should be , and as They were listed. The other census records were in Washington CO. MO. Please reply ; Karl Roussin

I am researching the family of James M. Huskey. This "James M. Huskey" was married to Elizabeth Wilson on Dec. 25, 1890 in Jefferson County, MO. They were my great grandparents; Mabel Eunice Huskey (their daughter) was my paternal grandmother. I would appreciate any information. Nova Reece Mrad

Karl, There are no 1890 census records left for Jeff Co, due to fires at the Census bureau. I have a copy of the printed 1900 Jeff Co census as published by Rose and Eugene Camden. There are no listings for ROCK or ROQUE. Other spellings I looked at were: Rasch, Rasche, Rauh, Roach, Roesch [Eugen, m, 17, Fra], Rorsch, Rouch, Rouse, and Rust. No Arris or Eugenia. I also looked at K's that may have been mis-interpreted from R's. I checked Kaack, Keck, Koch, Kock, Koeh, and Korte. Nothing. Perhaps they went to Wash Co earlier than you thought. I have no other 1900 census records.

This cemetery is located off of AA highway in Southern Jefferson County. It is located about 25 feet to the side of the old white church, that the boy scouts use now as a meeting hall. Take 61 south to AA & make a left, like you are going to Rush Tower, as soon as you turn onto AA, there is the white church house. You cannot see the burial plots from the road. It is just a small fenced in area where they used local stones to mark the graves. No one knows how many are buried here, probably less than a dozen. It seems that records said that a Mr. Curtis was buried here, so it is referred to as the Curtis cemetery. Members of that family are probably buried here, but others could be also. I heard that a fever of some sort came through & wiped out these people in the 1800's, but it has been unconfirmed. According to Betty Olson, head librarian at the De Soto branch, their records indicate the man as: Martin Thomas Curtis, Died March 18, 1944, 82 years, 6 mo. 18 days. Their records also say there are about 10 other unmarked graves there. Desoto Joe/The Record Man

He is survived by his wife, Zelma Isgrig of DeSoto; children: Marvin Isgrig of Bonne Terre; Margie, Mrs. John Elders and Laverne, Mrs. Bob Hearst, both from DeSoto; Bill Isgrig of Springfield, MO and Janet, Mrs. Joe Wann of DeSoto; two sisters, Norma, Mrs. Paul Clark of Florissant and Rebecca, Mrs. Edwin Smith of Farmington; 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

I would join in the accolades and messages of appreciation for the wonderful work you are doing Desoto Joe. Although you have only transcribed a few records of my personal relatives, I remain confident that you will find more and eagerly read each new report.

This cemetery is located off of highway Y. There are two sections, the older one is right by the church, the newer one is off to the side of the church. The older section has graves that have no markers left of some of those interred. Some metal markers have the paper inside of them, & are destroyed by water damage. There are local stones propped up as markers in the older section. I'll send the older section first & then the newer Tina?_ Daughter of Wm Drennen & Wite?

We drove by the DeSoto Cemetery on Rock Road on July 4th (after the parade), and I marvelled that anyone would take on a project of that size. And it's only one of the many you are reading. Joe, you are phenomenal!! Thank you for all you are doing!
