I am searching for more information about Dorothy Treat, born 3 Mar 1913, Illinois, died 7 Dec 1992 she lived in Aurora on the 1930 Census. Her parents were Perley S. Treat, born 15 Feb 1878, Illinois, died 21 Apr 1933, Barry Co. [According to the 1930 census, he married at age 23.] Sadie Alice (Hamlin) Treat, born 12 Oct 1886, Illinois, died 21 Jun 1953. Thanks Rolanda Stone

The marriage records can be found on the MOgenWeb site. You can find a link to the site at the top of the page you initially hit for the marriage records.

Thank you Ross & Elaine for the information you provided me. I just wanted to verify that she was a Yoachum, and that I had the right Sarah attached to him! Wilma -------Original Message------- From: Ross Cameron Date: 02/09/07 08:16:30 To: molawren@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOLAWREN] Chrstopher/ Yoachum Marriage? Wilma, The information in the LCHS published record (p. 16) is: Christophor, Stephen W., to Sarah Youcam, 7 Sept. 1856, by Benjamin F. Reese, M. G., Book ABC, p. 149. which provides the name of the minister and the page in the book. As you probably know, Book ABC (1845-1870) is a transcribed copy made by the Clerk in 1902, by order of the Court, of the original Books A (1845-55), B (1856-60), and C (1860-70). Fred used the original Book A for his transcription and Book ABC for the transcriptions of Books B and C. Audrey L. Woodruff also used Book ABC for her transcriptions published in Missouri Miscellaney. The only difference is that in her transcription she spells the groom's last name "Christopher" instead of "Christophor" as in Fred's. The early marriages published in Goodspeed's 1888 History is only of Book A, which ends in 1855 before this marriage occurred. That is another source for a transcription of Book A, although there are some serious problems with Goodspeed's listing, for example, all the marriage listed as 1856 in Goodspeed were actually 1846.

Hi Rolanda, Lawrence County was organized by taking part of Barry County in 1845, long before your mother was born. Based on the information below, the explanation for your mother's birth certificate saying Barry County is demonstated in the documents below. The Perley S. and Sadie Alice Treat family lived in Barry County but lived on the rural route delivery service for Aurora Post Office in Lawrence County, so their address was Aurora. This is not uncommon for people who live near county boundaries because the Post Office Department does not use county boundaries when determining the locations to be served by a post office. The Treat family lived about five miles south of Aurora in Ozark Township, Barry County, Missouri in 1920 and 1930. Perley S. Treat, born 15 Feb 1878, Illinois, died 21 Apr 1933, Barry Co. [According to the 1930 census, he married at age 23.] Sadie Alice (Hamlin) Treat, born 12 Oct 1886, Illinois, died 21 Jun 1953. William H. Treat, born 2 Dec 1908, Illinois, died 30 May 1985 Alice Margaret Treat, born 11 Apr 1911, Illinois, died 15 Jan 1941 [according to 1930 census, she married at age 17 and according to her daughter Alice's death certificate, her husband's name was Willis Cheney, see marriage record below.] Dorothy Treat, born 3 Mar 1913, Illinois, died 7 Dec 1992. Johnny Treat, born 3 Jan 1918, Missouri, died 30 Aug. 1921. Charles R. Treat, born about 1921-22, Missouri, died ? [Charles is in the 1930 census, age 8, but he is not listed on the tombstone at Clay Hill Cemetery.] granddaughters Alice Cheney, born 8 Aug 1927, Missouri, died 22 Sep 1927, Barry Co. Pearl Cheney, born about 1928-29, Missouri, father born Missouri [Pearl is listed in the household in the 1930 Census, but Willis Cheney is not listed in the household.] Lawrence County, Missouri, Marriage Records, 1924-1930, Vol. 13, p. 8, published 2003: Chenney, W. C., Crane, Stone Co., to Alice Margaret Treat, Aurora, 5 July 1927, at Mt. Vernon by A. L. Mosby, Min., P. S. Treat, father of Alice gives his consent, Book N, p. 328. [Note that it doesn't say, as it should, that Alice lived in Aurora, Barry Co.] Examples of the Barry County and Aurora information are on the death certificates of Sadie Treat, their son Johnny and their granddaughter Alice Cheney which are online at the Missouri State Archives Death Certicate Index at: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/ Sadie Alice Treat died 21 Jun 1953, state hospital # 3, Washington Twp., Vernon Co., Mo., from pulmonary tuberculosis. length of stay at this address 30-3-19 [I think this probably means she came to the hospital in 1930, March 19 because she is listed as in this hospital in the 1930 census on April 1] Usual residence: State: Missouri County: Barry City or Town (If outside corporate limits, write RURAL and give township): Aurora 0050 [The person filling out the form did not know that the Treat's address was rural and copied information from the hospital admission records.] born Oct 12, 1886, Hinkley [?], Illinois Married, Never Married, Widowed, Divorced (specify): Married [Again the information is incorrect because she was a widow.] Father's name: Ira C. Hamlin Mother's name: Georgietta Shipp Name of husband: P. S. Treat, Aurora, Mo. Informant: Records, State Hospital #3, Nevada, Missouri Burial June 11, 1953, State Hosp. Cemetery, Nevada, Missouri Apparently her body was later moved to the family plot at Clay Hill Cemetery in Barry County. Sadie did not appear in the household with her husband and children in the 1930 census because she appears as a patient at the state hospital in Nevada in the 1930 census. The hospital apparently had never updated the records on her family since she first came to the hospital and their records did not show that she was a widow because her husband had died in 1933. John Treat Place of Death: County: Barry Township: Ozark Date of birth: 3 Jan 1918 Birthplace: Missouri Name of Father: P. S. Treat; birthplace: Ill. Name of Mother: Sadie Hamlin; birthplace: Ill. Informant: P. S. Treat (Address): Aurora, Route #2 Date of death: 30 Aug 1921 Cause of death: drowned (accident) Alice Cheney (spelled Cheny on death certificate) Place of Death: County: Barry Township: Ozark Date of Birth: 8 Aug 1927 Birthplace: Mo. Name of Father: Willis Cheny; Birthplace: Mo. Name of Mother: Alice Treat; Birthplace: Ill. Informant: P. S. Treat (Address): Aurora, Mo. As you can see from these records, this family lived in Ozark Township, Barry County, but their address was Aurora. This is probably the same reason that your mother would have said or been told that she was born in Aurora and her birth certificate says that she was born in Barry County. Her parents' address was Aurora, but they actually lived in Barry County. On the online 1930 platbook for Barry County, T.25 and 26N. R. 25W. P. S. Treat is shown as the owner of the 40 acres of land in the southeast 1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 20, Township 25 N, Range 25 W, which is 5 miles south of the Lawrence - Barry County line in Barry County. The landowners bordering P. S. Treat were E. B. Greenaway, I. A. Tunnell, I. L. Lockhart, and H. Sulwold.

I am looking for the particulars of a marriage between Stephen W. Christopher and Sarah, possibly Yoachum/ Yocum in Lawrence Co. Sept 7, 1856. Thank you! Wilma

Dear Rolanda, There is a gravestone for some Treats buried in the Clay Hill Cemetery in Barry County, 4 or 5 miles south of Aurora. I think these folks were originally buried with no inscribed markers, and then somebody came along later and erected a big stone with several names on it. Here's a link to the MOBARRY site, and the Clay Hill Cemetery page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/clayhill/clayhill-4.htm Good Luck! jay trace --- Rolanda <rolanda731@verizon.net> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > I am looking for information for the surname > Treat.

Gail, That's very interesting. Do you know any more about Thomas and Emily Jane -- such as when they got married? I'm still digging for info about the Davis line, and there is one promising lead that goes back to the 1850s. My gg grandfather was James A. Davis, born Indiana 1840, married Anne Virginia Mankin, maybe in St. Louis 1860, came west in 1864 or 65. I haven't found anything on him before about 1865. I'll keep you posted if I find something. Thanks, again.

Hi Gloria, Dale, Al, Ross -- Thanks you all so much for the incredibly helpful info. It opened a whole new line of research for me, and who knows, maybe I'll find some family I didn't even know to look for. I have a gr, gr grand-father who was in Missouri in the 1860s, but he then moved to Washington state. Perhaps there is family that stayed. It'll be fun to see what I can find. I'm especially intrigued by the timeframe you suggested, Dale. It's late enough, there ought to records. Yeah! And Gloria, I haven't done any work at all on my Killians, but I guess it is time to start. About all I know is that they ended up in Washington state. If I find a connection to Lawrence County, I'll let you know. Thanks for info.

Yippee! I figured out Glen Herman Nelson -- at least I think so. This photograph was in an album belonging to my gg-aunt, Lizzie Motley. Her mother was Mary Jane Fullerton. Mary Jane Fullerton had a brother, James Harvey Fullerton, who had a daughter Ethel, who married a Dr. Frank Nelson. Ethel and Frank are on the 1910 census for Washita Co., OK which is where Lizzie Motley had been living with her parents and siblings after they moved there from Sarcoxie, Jasper County, Missouri. Ethel's dad and his second wife were also living in Oklahoma. On the 1910 census, Ethel and Frank have a son "Glenn H. Nelson", age 4! I hadn't found him because the index transcriber got him as "Grenn". So Glenn is my second cousin, twice removed. Got it now! - Heather http://surgerysupport.uchicago.edu/hblair/ On Thu, 25 Jan 2007, heather e blair wrote: > I have a picture taken in Peirce City of a cute little baby, Glen Herman > Nelson.

Kathy, I did some research on William Decker last spring to get better information on when his studio was operating. According to his obituary, he and his wife came to Mount Vernon in the spring of 1870. They are in the 1870 Census in Mount Vernon, but his name is spelled Tecker instead of Decker, probably a result of his German accent and being a newcomer in town unknown to the census assistant marshal. Photography probably did not provide sufficient income so he also had a tailor business and art gallery. William died 18 Jan 1900. His daughter Amanda Decker took over the photography business and is listed as a photographer in the 1900 census. Some photos have "Amanda Decker" instead of just "Decker" or "Wm. Decker." I do not know when she added "Amanda" to the studio name nor when she closed the studio. I did not find her in the 1910 nor 1920 Lawrence County censuses.

Kathy, The Decker photo gallery was in a house located at the northeast corner of the courthouse square in Mt. Vernon. This house was torn down 30 or 40 years ago. I do not know when Decker began his business, but it was after the Civil War, possibly as early as the 1870's. I have a number of family photographs by Decker that date from the late 1880's and 1890's. The clothing in the photo you posted dates to the very early 1900's. I trust that his helps. Regards, Dale West Longview, TX

Hi Everybody, I'm trying to identify an old photograph. It was taken at "Decker's Gallery" in Mt.Vernon. Does anyone recognize that studio or know when it was in business? Anybody venture a guess as when the photo was taken based on the clothes or the photo studio? As far as I know, my family left Missouri by the mid-1860s, but that could be wrong.
