At some time in the past I thought there was a web site for older obituaries in Polk County such as between 1900 and 1950. If there is/was one, I've lost the URL. Can someone help me? Thanks. Karen V.

Lutisha and William Issac Goswick were my g-g-g-grandparents. Lutisha appears to have died in the mid-1870s as William remarried 'Louisa' by 1880, and is in Lamar Co, Texas. The family was in Camp Verde, Arizona by the turn of the century. I dont know a lot about the Wright family but would love to know more!

I have found 58 children born mostly in Greene, Polk, and Dallas Co between Aug 1861 and into the early 1900s with the first or middle name of Sigel, Sigle, Siegel, Siegle, Seigel (we Missourians have never been known for our spelling capabilities). These children were no doubt named after the German born Franz Sigel who commanded a German speaking Union regiment made up from mostly German immigrants from the St. Louis area at the battle of Wilson's Creek in Aug 1861. Franz Sigel did not perform well at Wilson's Creek, but that did not seem to impact on his popularity among the supporters of the Union in SW MO. He later became a General Officer. Jerry

Anything is possible :) Knowing the Lock(e) family as I do, in most cases when I find an odd first or middle name, it almost always came from the female side of the family. Odd in the meaning of a Surname as a first or middle name lol. The Lock's seemed to for the most part to go by English tradition and named some children with the first name, but normally middle names of surnames came from the female side of the family. The Lock's of this branch came from Frederick County Virginia, very near where George Washington lived, so my family did use the name George fairly frequently in the early generations. And that tradition continues as one of my cousins is George :) Thanks Don
