Robertson died Saturday noon, November 26, 1921 from an attack of appendicitis. Parents, kindred, friends, and faithful physicians did everything that loving hands could do for restoration but her strength was not sufficient to combat the poison of the dreadful disease. She had lived to be 17 years, 6 months of age, long enough to endear all who came in touch with her was evident from the large concourse of friends that assembled at High Point Baptist Church to get one more glimpse of the little house in which the spirit formerly dwelt. A little home body always preferring to be with her parents, brother and sisters to that of any other. In her misshood yet we all felt a little girl because of her child like ways. In the comforting scripture read from the greatest of Books, she was called a sleeping damsel which name we applied appropriately to Fay. While the body sleepeth we commend the spirit to God who gave it knowing that He doeth all things well. The precious form was laid beside that of her grandmother Carter in the M. W. A. cemetery. To all those so sadly bereft we point you to God who alone can comfort in this hour of trial.

Hi Y'all, I found the same weird page for the *supposed* Moniteau County site. I immediately became suspicious when it requires registration to see anything yet will not identify who is running the site. With further investigation, I find that the site cannot be traced although the site is apparently officially registered as: c1261284-a.grlnd1.tx.home.com although that is different from the #s/FreeGen, etc. that *shows* as the URL. I personally think this is a rip-off site that is going to try and charge for providing access to otherwise free sites that they find on the net. Until proven a valid site and the owners identify themselves as a legitimate company or person(s), I urge everyone to BEWARE! Regards, Jerry Haldiman

Thanks for the new site for Moniteau, however when I go into it all it says is that it's under construction and please check back.

Hi, My g-great granfather, daniel G. Derby lived in the High Point area of Moniteau Co., MO from 1859 until his death in the 1890s. would there be any kind of records to check death or burial to find out who his parents were? Same for his wife, Mary Ann but she died in 1911. In some states burial records are different from death records.
