I was at the State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia last fall, and found many family obituaries. However, I could not find one for my ggg-grandmother Rachel Siler Hand. According to cemetery records, she died 20 Dec 1903 in Peirce City, where she was living with her daughter, Mary Ann Hand Harvill. I checked the Peirce City and Monett papers, but didn't find anything. Would anybody have another suggestion? Thanks! - Heather
