Seneca has had a weekly newspaper for many years. That would have covered Racine area as well as the Neosho paper. Connie ----- Original Message ----- From: Janie M.

How long has the Seneca paper been in existance? It would be a bit closer than Neosho & for the years I've known of it, always has great local coverage. Seneca has been a community for a very long time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Janie M.

Try www.intermnet.net for the Cemetery Records. Click on United States, Missouri, Newton County etc. to find the Neosho IOOF. Mike

You might post a query on the McDonald County site. If Bonnie Martin is able, she has a variety of reference works at home.

Jeanne, I am not sure on the exact location of the cemetery, however, the town of Hart (which is pretty much just an intersection on 43 highway) is in McDonald county. I think that the cemetery may be also. Newton county does have a page with links to it. I'm not sure if Mac county does or not. I will try to check with one of our members at next Monday nights meeting who is also active with the McDonald county group and see if she knows. Randy Randy & Karen (Bit by the genealogy bug!!)

Thanks so much for posting the link for the IOOF cemetery in Newton County. I found two people I had been looking for, Charlie and Bonnie Poole Day. Sharolyn http://community.webtv.net/Sharolyn/JamesPoole

The url doesn't work for me either, even with the correction.
