I am trying to find my Charles K. Lewis who was born in Platte City in 1875. He is not found there in 1880 but in 1900 he is found with wife and in laws. He married there in 1899. The 1900 census said his father was from Texas and mother from Mo. I'm hoping to find him in the 1910 census to see what that shows. He died in 1918 in Keokuk,Iowa, Lee Co. I have seen many people searching this family...but have not found a connection yet.Places might match some Teri

I can only find Charles Lewis in Dearborn, Mo. Platte County in 1899 (From marriage license).It mentioned him living in Platte City. Than the 1900 census has him with wife and in-laws in Dearborn, Platte Co. Mo. >From his 1918 obit it mentioned 4 brothers and 2 sisters surviving him in Platte City, but I have no names. Nothing I have has parents or siblings names. I am however wondering if his mother could be a Margaret. His first born is Margaret Ellen Lewis and the Ellen comes from her Grandma Davis (Moms mother). I have not found any Margarets in the Davis or Murphy lines. yet. of course I havent gotten past John yet. lol Again, Thank You, Teri

Hi Wes, Have you seen the article on W. H. Adams in the the "Annals of Platte Co" addendum? It doesn't say anything about his ancestors, but because he lived in Kansas, perhaps you couldn find more information about him in Atchison or Leavenworth.

Hello All, Of course, this question would be better suited to the MO-Jackson list, the county in which Kansas City is located. Kathleen, the Police Department's website would be www.kcpd.org I do know that LAST year, a course about the history of the KCMO Police Dept was taught through UMKC's Continuing Education Department: Kansas City's Finest and Their Leaders: The Kansas City Police Department and its Chiefs 2 Sessions/J. Tobin Sat. and Sun.: July 28 and 29 2001 The police generally serve as the point of contact between the public and the criminal justice system. The material for this course begins in 1894, when the Kansas City Police Department was first organized. The department's development, growth, rough spots, challenges, and victories will be examined. History and anecdotes about the Kansas City Police Department, its officers, and the chiefs who directed it will be explored. J. TOBIN who taught this course last year is teaching other classes this year on the history of crime, laws, etc. so he appears to have some expertise and credibility. http://iml.umkc.edu/ce/F02cc.htm#a&s The UMKC website says these courses are taught by University faculty or adjunct faculty members who are recognized experts in their fields. He would probably be a good resource for this question also. Oh, here is Jack Tobin's contact info http://iml.umkc.edu/soc/tobin.htm 106F Ernest Manheim Hall, KCMO 816-235-2516 fax: 816-235-1117 jjt198@umkc.edu Mr. Tobin's office hours are from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, MWThF, and by appointment. There IS a tie from Platte County to the KCMO police department that I always found interesting and wanted to explore further. That the actors/brothers (or half-brothers) Wallace Beery and Noah Beery Sr, were sons of a Kansas City policeman (whose name was Noah Beery, so technically the older actor was Noah Beery Jr., making his actor son Noah Beery III but that is not how they are known) The Beery family had numerous ties to Platte County and many are buried in Smith Cemetery (near my McHenry family's section) Platte County's covered bridge was called 'Noah's Ark,' being named after a great great uncle of the actors, Judge Noah Beery. (My gggrandfather, George W Heath, helped to saw the lumber for the bridge) Anyway, I always wondered just when and why Wallace and Noah's father moved to Kansas City, sometime around 1885. It seems like a bigger 'leap' in those days, to move from Platte Co to the CITY to work in its Police force! And here's a final thought, taking us back to KC: when Wallace Beery and Jean Harlow played husband and wife in the movie 'Dinner at Eight,' do you think they chatted about their experiences of growing up/living in the Kansas City in between shots??? ------------------------------------------- Angie Anthony, MLS MOCLAY list administrator Kansas City, MO angieant@swbell.net ------------------------------------------- Owner, Family History Researcher 816.333.3366 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen O'Brien-Blair" <ktho@kc.rr.com> To: <MOPLATTE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 9:46 AM Subject: Re: [MOPLATTE] Kansas City MO Metropolitan Police 1885 > Here is the site for the KCPD History page - I think they have an Historian > and an archive.
