Susan, Lawrence County Tombstone Inscriptions, Vol. 5, Buck Prairie Township, p. 42, Marionville IOOF Cemetery, Old Part, Block 5, Lot 12: Sparks, Verne, 7 Mar 1904 - 4 Nov 1918, son of E. C. & H. J. Henry J., 1863 - 1950 Virginia, 1857 - 1933 (same stone as Henry J.) It appears that Verne is the son of Henry by his first wife, Emma C. Seamans from whom he was divorced by the 1920 census. Usually the father's initials are listed before the mother's on such tombstone inscriptions, but the opposite appears to be the case this time. Perhaps Virginia is his second wife whom he married after 1920. Here are some of the published transcriptions of records on him: Lawrence County, Missouri, Marriage Records, Vol. VII, 1897-1900, p. 46: Sparks, H. J., 32, Marionville, to Emma C. Seamans, 23, Liberal, Barton Co., 28 Dec. 1899, by J. A. Boster, J. P., at Mt. Vernon, Book H, p. 268. As you will note in the 1900 census record below, even though he and Emma were apparently married 28 Dec. 1899, she apparently was not living with him at the time of the census. Perhaps they married secretly at the justice of the peace in Mount Vernon and she was still living at home with her parents in Barton Co., Mo., not far away. 1900 Census, Missouri, Lawrence Co., Buck Prairie Township, Marionville: 8.

I hope that you all enjoy this which was picked up from another list: You know you're taking genealogy too seriously if... You are the only person to show up at the cemetery research party with a shovel. To put the "final touches" on your genealogical research, you've asked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA samples. Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogical records are stored. You decided to take a two-week break from genealogy, and the U.S. Postal Office immediately laid off 1,500 employees. Out of respect for your best friend's unquestioned reputation for honesty and integrity, you are willing to turn off that noisy surveillance camera while she reviews your 57 genealogical research notebooks in your home. The armed security guard, however, will remain. You plod merrily along "refining" your recently published family history, blissfully unaware that the number of errata pages now far exceeds the number of pages in your original publication. During an ice storm and power outage, you ignore the pleas of your shivering spouse and place your last quilt around that 1886 photograph of dear Uncle George. The most recent document in your "Missing Ancestors" file is a 36 page contract between you and Johnson Billboard Advertising Company. Ed McMahon, several t.v. cameras and an envelope from Publishers Clearing House arrive at your front door on Super Bowl Sunday, and the first thing you say is, "Are you related to the McMahons of Ohio?" "A Loving Family" and "Financial Security" have moved up to second and third, respectively, on your list of life's goals, but still lag far behind "Owning My Own Microfilm Reader." A magical genie appears and agrees to grant your any one wish, and you ask that the 1890 census be restored.

Thanks for sharing your humor. In turn, would like to share the following. 23rd Psalm for Genealogists Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray It maketh me to lie down and examine tombstones It leadeth me into still courthouses It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge It leadeth me in the paths of census records and ships' passenger lists for my surnames' sake Yea, though I walk through the shadows of research libraries and microfilm readers I shall fear no discouragement, for a strong urge is within me The curiosity and motivation, they comforteth me It demandeth preparation of storage space for the acquisition of countless documents It anointest my head with burning midnight oil My family group sheets runneth over Surely, birth, marriage and death dates shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of a family history seeker forever. - unknown-

Hi Ross!!! Thanks for all the great information!!! I didn't have most of that information, so it will be a great help. Thanks for taking your time to check it out for me.

However, I did not find a probate file for him. There is one for Josiah A. Sparks in 1864, who names an heir, Thomas, who appears to be living in California. This family however lived in Vineyard Twp. on the other side of the county. Josiah was born in SC and his children in KY and MO according to the 1860 census. This appears to be a different Sparks family from yours. In the 1880 census, there is a Sparks family in Marionville (family #21) headed by widow, Sarah, 37, born in Ga, with 8 children born in Ga, NC, and Mo.

She is also in the 1920 Census in Henry's household (Marionville family #90) Fred's date of birth is listed as Jan. 1880, although it perhaps should be 1879 because he was listed as age 1 as of June 1, 1880. I also did not find a tombstone for him indexed in Buck Prairie Township (Marionville). However, Henry J., above, [died 1950] and his wife (?) and son (?) are buried at Marionville IOOF Cemetery.

Virginia, Sorry that you didn't get the earlier message. Glad you got it this time! And you got so much more on the Hendrix family which I didn't know you were looking for the first time. Obviously, you should find a lot more about this Hendrix family in Lawrence County marriage and census records. And there are probably descendants still living in the area.

You had written me privately about this on Friday, April 21. Apparently you did not receive my response to you on April 24 which provided information on your question. I will forward it to you privately, but "paste" in my response to your earlier inquiry here. Plus I have some answers to the new questions which you raised in today's inquiry -- like Harriet's parents names, Andrew and Tempa and their birth and death dates which follow the previous response. ***********previous message begins************** Dear Virginia, The actual tombstone data from the Lawrence County Tombstone Inscription volumes are not available online. The books can be purchased from the Lawrence County Historical Society and are listed on the Lawrence County Web Page under Lawrence County Historical Society Publications. Volume 5 is for Buck Prairie Township in which Marionville is located. The index for Volume 5 lists eleven pages for the surname Logan. The first page listed (p. 6) is for the old old part of the Marionville IOOF Cemetery and includes several Logans the last group of which is: Logan, Julia w/o John Logan 8 Apr 1844 - 18 Nov 1919 next two names on same stone John, 1837-1914 Harriet, 1840-1883 base no stone I presume that the Harriet above is your great grandmother on the same stone with her husband John.

And Lawrence County Marriage Book D, p. 226: Logan, John to Julia Stacy, 1 Apr. 1884, by A. J. Smithson, M. G., at Marionville. The other group of Logans on that page and just before the above group are: Fannie L and Maude M., daughters of W.

I also have an abstract of John Logan's obituary from the 10 Sep1914 Aurora Advertiser if you don't have it and are interested. I hope this answers your question and helps. Ross Cameron >>> Virginia Dietz <davdietz@ghg.net> 04/21 11:14 PM >>> Dear Ross, I saw your message to Georgia and have a question for you. I have been tracing my gr. grandmothers roots. Her name was Harriett Hendrick Logan, I know she died May 18, 1883 and was buried in the Marionville Cemetery. I had talked to several Logan family members in the past and I understood she had a very large tombstone that had been turned over by teenagers several years ago, so I can not get any info. from it. I understood it would take a crane to set it upright, as far as I know this has never been done. I was hoping you could clue me in on the Lawrence Co. Tombstone Inscription volumes. Can these be reached via the internet? If I must call or write, who must I contact. Thanks for your help. Virginia Dietz davdietz@ghg.net **********previous message ends*********** Unfortunately, this only gives a year of birth and only her first name, so your questions are not answered by the tombstone. However you might try to contact the "sexton" or "record-keeper" for the Marionville IOOF Cemetery, probably some officer in the Marionville IOOF Lodge, because the cemetery record books sometimes have more complete information than what is on the stone. At least they do for the Mount Vernon IOOF Cemetery. I also did a quick check of the Lawrence County death register for 1883-1893, but her name does not appear there. And I did not find an obituary in the newspaper abstracts index. EUREKA! The answer to her parents names are in the 1860 Lawrence County Census below: 1860 Census, Missouri, Lawrence County, Buck Prairie Township, family 918: Hendrick, Andrew, 45, farmer, Tenn. Tempa, 45, Tenn. [often a nickname for Temperance] William, 17, Tenn Jackson, 13, Mo Lafayett, 11, Mo John, 6, Mo Ellis, 4, Mo Logan, John 22, inmate, Tenn. [inmate means not a child of the head of family] Harriet, 19, Tenn. This is a transcription so you should check the census microfilm yourself to verify the above. However, it appears that John and Harriet who were married in Apr. 1860 in Lawrence County first lived with her parents. Andrew and Tempa are old enough to be her parents. Because the sons Jackson, age 13 and Lafayett, age 11, were reported as born in Missouri, I checked the 1850 Lawrence Co. census, but the family is not listed. Perhaps they were living elsewhere in Missouri in 1850. You should check the 1850 Missouri Census Index for them. If you find them, you will probably find Harriet in their household at about age 9. It is possible that they were missed. I do know of families living in southwest Lawrence County who were omitted in the 1850 census. And you can confirm the spelling of the name from all of the Hendrix family buried at Marionville IOOF including Andrew and Tempa: on p. 7, Harriet's parents and brothers: Hendrix, William, son of A & T Hendrix, 2 Dec 1842 - 17 Sep 1861 John F., 5 Nov 1852 - 6 Mar 1888 Tempa, wife of A. Hendrix, 20 Oct 1820 - 1 May 1896 Andrew, 25 Jan 1816 - 22 Oct 1892 p. 2, Harriet's brother and nephew: Hendrix, A. J., died 19 Aug 1886, age 39 yrs, 10 mo. [Jackson in census] Oliver J., son of A. J. & L. E. Hendrix, 1 Dec 1882 - 26 Mar 1884 p. 5, another brother and wife: Hendrix, Lafayette, 10 Feb 1849 - 6 Jun 1921 Anna, 3 Sep 1854 - 4 Jun 1894 [same stone with Lafayette] p. 9, another brother and family, Old Part, Block 1, Lot 5: Hendrix, Clara E., 18 Jul 1902 - 8 Nov 1978 [same stone with Edd E.] Edd E., 15 Mar 1904 - 4 May 1959 Celestial Fay, 24 Jun 1898 - 7 Mar 1899 Lillian, 21 Feb 1868 - 14 Jun 1921 [same stone with Ellis N.] Ellis N., 8 Oct 1856 - 28 Oct 1925 [he may have been named after Ellis Neece, a well known Baptist minister in the area] p. 19, Old Part, Block 2, Lot 29: Hendrix, Winnifred, 18 Jan 1898 - blank Earl L., 7 Jan 1894, 19 Sep 1940 p. 89, New Part, Block 4, Lot 73: Hendrix, Jesse M., 1 Oct 1892 - 26 Feb 1966 Della E., 28 Nov 1892 - 27 Sep 1984 [same stone with Jesse] That is just about all of Harriet's family members' birthdays except for hers. And it adds a lot to your knowledge of her family. Ross Cameron >>> Virginia Dietz <davdietz@ghg.net> 06/23 10:31 AM >>> Kaye, I also have family buried in Lawrence County. Would you please look and see if you have a Harriett Hendrick Logan listed. Some of my family papers spell her maiden name Hendrick some Hendrix. She is buried in the Marionville Cemetery and died 5/18/1883. I am hoping to get the correct spelling of her name and her birthdate. I have been looking for years for her parents but to no avail, hopefully with a birthdate it will help.

Brenda, You must have missed this message from earlier today so I will paste it in below: In the tombstone listing which implies that the stones are listed in the order in which they were read, immediately before George Pemberton and therefore possible right next to his are: Shepherd, Eliza, wife of F.

However, it appears that John and Harriet who were married in Apr. 1860 in Lawrence County first lived with her parents. Andrew and Tempa are old enough to be her parents. Because the sons Jackson, age 13 and Lafayett, age 11, were reported as born in Missouri, I checked the 1850 Lawrence Co. census, but the family is not listed. Perhaps they were living elsewhere in Missouri in 1850. You should check the 1850 Missouri Census Index for them. If you find them, you will probably find Harriet in their household at about age 9. It is possible that they were missed. I do know of families living in southwest Lawrence County who were omitted in the 1850 census.

Hi Ed, I will take a guess and say that most from Mo migrated to Michigan for work. I don't know when your ancestor may have come to Michigan but I know that mine came from Lawrence County for that purpose. I live in Mid-Michigan near Flint and there is an area of town that has always been affectionately called "little Missouri" Since I am in Michigan I may be able to help you with a cemetery search. E-mail me with your information and I will see hwat I can find out for you.

Virginia, Since the neither the 1860 census nor the earlier censuses state the relationship of people in the household to the head of household, the census record is not proof that Harriet is the daughter of Andrew and Tempa. To confirm that Harriet is their daughter, you should write the Clerk of the Probate Court of Lawrence County, at the Courthouse, Mt. Vernon, MO 65712 and ask for a photocopy of the probate file [and will if one exists] for Andrew Hendrix. His probate file is in Box 48, File 1109. If Harriet is a daughter who predeceased her father, then the list of heirs should name the children of Harriet Hendrix Logan as her children and heirs of her father. Harriet's brother, Andrew J. Hendrix died earlier than his father [see tombstone inscriptions] and his probate record is in Box 38, File 881. Also in Goodspeed's 1888 History of Lawrence County, it states that Andrew Hendricks [should be Hendrix] purchased land in 1851 on Section 25 of Township 27 N, Range 25 W which is in Turnback Township. You can also check the land records website at www.glorecords.blm.gov I just found a biography of Ellis N. Hendrix in the 1917 The Ozark Region: Its History and Its People, Vol. III, History of Lawrence County, Missouri, Biographical, pp. 164-165: "Ellis N. Hendrix. That Lawrence county can produce good and useful citizens right from the ground up on her own native soil, is fully evidenced by the life and works of Ellis N. Hendrix, who was born and raised on the farm where he now lives. He was born October 8, 1856. He is the seventh child of Andrew and Tempa (Williams) Hendrix who were raised in Bedford county in middle Tennessee on a typical Tennessee farm. They came to Lawrence county direct from Tennessee in 1840 and settled on a fine tract of 160 acres which they improved and upon which they lived to the day of their death. The father passed away in October, 1892, and the mother followed in May, 1895. Both were well known and held in the highest esteem by everyone. They were among the first families to settle in Lawrence county. They had seven children, of whom William died while in the Civil War; four others, Elijah, Harriett, Andrew Jackson and John are dead. LaFayette is living in Lawrence county and Ellis N. is living on the old home place where he has lived from his birth. At the age of about 35 years Ellis N. Hendrix was united in marriage to Lillian Jeffries, who was born February 21, 1868, and raised in Missouri, being the daughter of J. Marshall and Rebecca Ann (Shanning) Jeffries. To this estimable couple there wre born seven children as follows: Jesse M., born October 1, 1872. He was married to Della Earnhart, June 21, 1914, and is living at Sarcoxie, Missouri; Irl L., born January 7, 1894; Florence May, born February 7, 1895, married Nov. 21, 1915, to B. C. White, of Lawrence county; Celestia Fay, born June 24, 1898, died March 7, 1899; Virgil A., born September 19, 1900; John J., born September 12, 1902; and Eddie Ellis, born March 15, 1904. Both parents are members of the Christian church and in addition to that the father is a loyal democrat and a member of the A. H. T. A. They are well known throughout the county and have a great host of friends." These biographies are not always accurate, but provide information as to where you might look to confirm the information. Now you have Tempa's maiden name. Unfortunately, many of Bedford Co., Tennessee's pre-Civil War records were destroyed [My Patton ancestors came from there to Lawrence County a year or so before the Hendrix family.]. This pretty much confirms that Harriet was the daughter of Andrew and Tempa (Williams) Hendrix.
