It said Charles father was from Texas and Mother from Missouri. I'm just trying to stay in Missouri till i find something concrete elswhere. I have the death certificate and it has no names for parents. A lady from Platte Co. Gen .Society said she found the marriage license of Charles and Alice Davis-Lewis but it had no names either. The obit just mentioned 4 brothers and 2 sisters surviiving him in the town, it mentioned before that, that Charles was from Platte Co. I can't seem to find any connections of Lewis's in Platte Co. The 1880 census someone found for me with a Charles K. Lewis is a year older than mine, but I'm still going to persue it to see if it is mine or not. It shows a Carrie in the census as sibling to the Charles K. Lewis and Charles and Alice named a daughter Carrie...perhaps a name given after the aunt?!? I'm not sure where Charles and Alice were in 1910, perhaps Missouri or Illinois. I'm not sure if i have where their children were born at that time. Russell was born in 1912 I beleive i have as Illinois, Hancock Co. One daughter, born in 1910-11 died in 1920 i beleive in Scotland Co., Memphis, Mo (2 years after Charles had passed away and I think Alice had remarried to Alfred Blaine by than...or close to the date. I will check the 1910 census for Missouri and Illinois and see what shows up and hopefully maybe if it says the same as where Charles parents were from. I'm stuck in Platte City, unless the 1880 census is his family, but still I need to go to Platte to prvoe if it is or not. Thank You, Teri

Start with the local Weston paper... wcnews@mindspring.com .... If they put it in the Kansas City Star, they have archives back to 1991 online. www.kcstar.com You could also try the funeral home if you know which one it was. I would try Rollins Funeral Home in Platte City or Vaughn's in Weston (same family). For your Buchanan County, I would check the St. Joseph, MO papers. I can tell you that there is an obit on James J. Calvert in the Leavenworth Times, page 5, that was published Dec. 16, 1982. I do not have the info. I got the date off Ancestry.com. Many Platte families use that paper as well. Best of luck.

I grew up in Parkville, as did my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I am the fifth generation directly descended from settler families. From Kansas City - downtown - take the Broadway Bridge north across the River and that will put you on the Broadway Extension going North. Take the Highway 9 North-Parkville exit and follow Highway 9, past Riverside and the Red X store, under the I-635 overpass, past the Riverside Business Park, past the fuel tanks, past the Please Stop, and all the way into Parkville. When you come into Parkville, the speed limit goes from 55 to 35 to 25 in just a few yards and it's a speed trap. You'll see the big stone building of Mackay Hall on your right and then the road will go to the bottom of the hill and split. This is the intersection of First Street and 9 Highway as 9 turns into East Street. Highway 9/East Street is the right fork. Take this fork and proceed north on East Street all the way thorugh Parkville, past all the side streets. As the road climbs back up out of the valley, 13th Street and the City Hall will appear on your right. You will continue to climb and on your left you will see where Main Street joins up with East. At this point is the entrance to Old Parkville Cemetery - on your left. If you get as far as the stop light and the entrance to Riss Lake you have gone too far north - turn around and go back and you will be able to park on the shoulder of 9 Highway right at the steps up into the cemetery. That is the City Cemetery and the City Hall should have all those records, if you have trouble finding the stone. Remember - if you get to the entrance to Riss Lake you have gone too far north and you will have found Walnut Grove Cemtery instead of the old Parkville City Cemetery. Turn aorund and go back south a few yards and the old Parkville City Cemetery is on the west side of the highway.

I'm basically aware of the info in the "Annals of Platte, Co. but they don't answer my question. Electronic sources differ on the Dodson & Skelton relationship with one having them as brothers and another with Skelton as an uncle to Dodson. I believe Dodson was a son to Jobe Standiford (poss brother to Skelton) and Ruth Dodson (sister to Skelton's Mary Dodson) which would make him a nephew to Skelton and cousin to Thomas & William. FB

From "History of Clay and Platte Counties". JACOB N. BLACKBURN (Telegraph Operator and Station Agent, C. R. I. & P. R. R., Camden Point). Mr. Blackburn is a Virginian, and is of the same family from which the Kentucky Blackburns sprang. He was born in Grayson county of the old Dominion, June 13, 1846. His parents were Lambuth Blackburn and Nancy (Hanks) Blackburn, both natives of North Carolina. But each was of Virginia descent. The father died when vouno-Blackburn was quite young. There were eight children in the family seven of whom were sons. Left an orphan by the death of his father, and the widowed mother having a large family of children, young' Blackburn began to do for himself at the age of twelve years, and without help from others, or education. He was, therefore, a self-made and self-educated man. Though only in his sixteenth year when the war broke out, he promptly enlisted in the Confederate army. Napoleon always said that boys make the best soldiers. Experience in all wars proves the correctness of his opinion. They are enthusiastic, fearless and always ready to obey orders. These are the qualiti! es that go to make a valuable, dashing soldiery. Though a mere boy, young Blackburn followed the flag of the Confederacy with unfaltering devotion, and through hardships and dangers and wounds and imprisonments that would have chilled the enthusiasm of any but the most resolute and patriotic. He was a member of the Fourth Virginia infantry and served throughout the war, taking part in nearly all the great battles of Virginia and contiguous sections of the country. He was wounded no less than thirteen times, and nine different bullet scars are still plainly visible on his body, one distinctly on his forehead. That, alone, would have made him an accepted and honored member of the Old Guard under the first Napoleon, A soldier could bear no prouder decoration than the scar from a wound in the forehead received in open battle. In May, 1864, he was taken prisoner and held from that time, at Point Lookout, Md., until the close of the war. Young Blackburn then came West and spent tw! o years in Minnesota and Dakota. Returning to Virginia in 1867, he was married there November 6, of the following year, to Miss Thurma, a daughter of Stephen Ward, of Grayson county. He then came West and made his home at Burlingame, Kan. Two years later he came to Platte City. Here he worked at anything he could get to do for a time, and after a while learned telegraphy. In 1881 he was appointed agent at Camden Point, and he still holds the position. He makes an efficient 1017 HISTORY OF PLATTE COUNTY. agent and is popular with both the officials of the company and the general public. Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn have six children: Ellen, . Frank, Orville, Homer, Burton and Katie. His two eldest sons, though the oldest is only about fourteen years of age, are good tele-o-raph operators themselves, and are of much assistance to their Father. Mr. Blackburn is a member of the A. F. and A. M. at Camden Point. ====================================================================== I copied the above from my scanners OCR reader so if there is some garbage you can't decipher, let me know. I think I found most of the mistakes. There were no Blackburns listed in "Annals of Platte County". In "History of Andrew and Dekalb Counties", the only Blackburns I see mentioned is a William listed as a member of the Lodge in Andrew County. Is this the type of info you are looking for?
