Hart, Excelsior Springs, D. (Draft Men through Local Board) 50 entries on WWI Draft registrations but none in MO. Chuck -- The older I get, the better I was!

Hi, I am looking for the final whereabouts of a Vilas WYATT July __, 1885 - d. ________, ____?) & his wife, Cordelia (WHITEHEAD) WYATT (July 10, 1886 - July, 1973). The last I heard was that Vilas WYATT was living in either Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas, based on the obituary of a sibling. I can't find his name in the Social Security Death Index and am assuming he died sometime in the 1960s or 1970s. Is there a local Kansas City index of cemeteries, obituaries, or deaths that can be checked for his date of death and place of burial? His wife's date of death is based on an SSDI entry, but her last residence was in Florida, so am not able to determine anything from that, and cannot be absolutely the SSDI entry is a match for Cordelia (Whitehead) Wyatt. They had two children, Violet L. Wyatt (b. ca. 1909/10 -) & Harold D. WYATT (Nov. 13, 1913 - Nov. 21, 1990), either of whom may be buried with their parents. Would appreciate any hints, tips, or suggestions. Philip A. Naff Indianapolis, Indiana E-mail: philnaff@home.com

Go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=702&sourceid=1237 I was afraid someone would ask that. Death of John R. Clements- With the death of John R. Clements, father of our genial postmaster, Platte City loses one of its finest and stanchest citizens, whose sterling worth and teaching will live for generations to come. The end came Friday night at the home of his son, W.T. Clements. Though an invalid for the past year, he had been in bed only about two weeks of a complication of diseases and the general breakdown of old age. Mr. Clements was born June 9, 1834, the eldest son of Jonathan and Nancy Clements, and came here with his widowed mother and family from Estill County, KY in 1857. At 16, through the accidental drowning of his father, young John had bravely taken upon himself the cares of the head of the house, and at 20 he decided to seek a home for them in the west. Having come to Platte and finding its valleys fair he returned the next year for his family. Platte County has ever since been their home, with the exception of one member, his second son, Benjamin M. who lives near Linden, Clay County. On March 9, 1859 he married Elilza J. Moore, daughter of old Kentuckian, James B. Moore...(unreadable)....Ten children were born to them, one dying in infancy. The other 9 are all living and have families of their own. Of his family he was the only one who wore the blue, tow brothers fighting on the confederate side as was so often the case in that bitterly waged war. One brother, Jasper, was killed at the Battle of Camden Point, July 14, 1864. Mr. Clements was a Mason of the Blue order and one of the oldest in point of membership of the Platte City Lodge 504 A.F. & A.M. After the death of Mrs. Clements, which occured December 30, 1900, his daughter kept house for him until her marraige. Since then the farm has been rented and he has lived with his children, can and going as fancy pleased him. Mr. Clements was a staunch republican, and a favorite with his party as well as his neighbors. Very few men accomplished as much as did he. As a lad his father had been the wealthy owner of a flouring mill. But those were troublesome times, there was a failure and when left at the head of the family, young John had little money and yet he left all his family well to do. At an early age, he gave his life into God's hands at the Station Camp meeting house in Kentucky and from there he transferred his membership to Second Creek where it has since remained and in God's acre surrounding the little church he was laid to rest Sunday afternoon by the Masons. Rev. L.Z. Bird of Kansas City, an old pastor of his, preached the sermon. Besides four brothers, Myrix, W.T., David and Gusty and one sister, Mrs. S.D. Park of Camden Point, he leaves nine children, J.J., Benj. M., John J., W.T., Walter, Madison, Simeon, Claude and Mrs. Carrie J. Hulse, to mourn his loss as well as a host of friends and other relatives. ----------------------------------------------------------------- There is no date but looking at at articles before and after, I would say it was in 1911. Please forgive any errors as I use an old version of Netscape with spellchecker and I was doing 5 other things at the same time. =) Chuck -- The older I get, the better I was!
