Here is a fwd with some of the info I sent to the list for another. In addition there is an obit on Annie Elizabeth Jones who was an Eskridge. She was born Feb. 23, 1849. Married Nov. 2, 1871, D. Scott Jones, also of Platte. Their only child was James T. Jones. Annie died March 5, 1910. Family bought McMillan farm 18 years prior to death in Linkville, where she died. Talks about her faith and church activities. Says she came with her father, 3 brothers and 2 sisters to Platte in 1851. Also had three half sisters and one half brother. There is a note at the end the the obit had a picture of the five Eskridge brothers: John, Lee, George, Will and Giles. I assume this is still at the KC Library Archives where these records were found. Last mention of the name comes from a clipping on an Odd Fellows annual "Big Night" meeting, Thursday, Dec. 22, 1910. John, Giles, George and Wiliam were in attendance. Just a note. Most of what I find are like this. Obits and such of families already in the original book. Also things like marraiges are added to the original page from the Annals book or at least referenced to it. It appears he wrote day to day for a few years after 1897, but his health prevented him from doing much more. Him or his daughter kept newspaper clippings and such on Platte citizens after that.
