I am looking for the parents name of Adda Jane _______ b March 23, 1886 in Princeton, MO. The attending doctor was Bristow. Her mothers name may be Aldonena/Aldorena/Aldovena.

Surnames: CALBREATH ENGLAND Submitter: Frank D. Myers (fmyers@netconx.net) Date: 24 May 2001 Does anyone know what happened to the remains of Sarah (England) Calbreath, interred until the late 1990s in Wilder Cemetery, Mercer County, Missouri. She was the widow of Junius L.A. Calbreath and died 27 March 1953 in San Francisco, Calif. Her (presumably cremated) remains were buried in Junius's grave at Wilder and marked with a small gray granite tombstone that read, "Sarah F. Calbreath, 1861-1953." The stone and, presumably the remains, were removed during the late 1990s.

Does anyone have access to an 1880 census for Mercer Co.? If so could you please look for a George FOSTER and Robert FOSTER. This is a father and son so they may be in the same household. Thank you to anyone who can help. Lori

I think it is Madison Twp. I have a really nice map that I got from the MO DOT on my website and looking at it I believe it is Madison. Hopefully, someone will confirm my suspicions. I am working and don't have immediate access right now.
