I just returned from a three week "geneology" vacation trip through AZ, OK, KY, MO, OR ... and back to the concrete jungle of southern CA :/ while I was visiting the historical society in Maryville, I located the obit of my 3rd gr. gr'dpa Rev. Thomas Riley Hedgpeth in the Nodaway Democrate dated March 31 1887 ... it mentions that he died one day last week near Fairfax, Atchison county ... his remains were taken to Saulsbury, MO for interment ... he was a minister of the M. E. Church South ... the question is, where is Saulsbury or where was it, if it no longer exist ? ? ? I have a note here in my files that his wife Eliza Jane (Elliott) was also buried in this town also ... she died in 1917 at St Joseph, MO I am not too sure if the town name was miss spelled and they meant Salisbury over in Chariton county ... but that seems like a long distant to transfer a body for burial back in those days ... and I have no knowledge of the family having any connection in Chariton county over 150 miles from Maryville area .... anyone know where this ghost town might have been located ?
