Who, if anyone, on this list, gave me information about Isaac Hickman/Mary Allensworth; Thomas Jefferson Hickman/Elizabeth Scobee? I've found a descendant that's trying to find you. Joanne Scobee Morgan

I promised myself I would wait until October when I go to Unionville and look these up myself, but now found that my time frame there will be rather short for going to the library. Would you check the census records for Nugent (sometimes spelled Neugent or Newgent). I think I have Jacob there in 1870, but believe there was a James and a Richard also. I didn't check other records then due to lack of time. Thanks -- Judy Johnson

Catherine, I checked under the names you sent. Orin D. Gray, Isabelle Richmond Rob(b)ins Wilcox Quinnette. There was nothing at all under an Orin D. Gray, not even as a child. And here's the only listing I could find showing all the different surnames for Isabelle. 1900 Census - Elm Twp. ROBBINS - Isabel head feb 1872 28 W 6-5 Mo/Mo/Mo Nancy C dau aug 1887 12 (all children Rollie O son feb 1890 10 are listed Charles E son feb 1892 8 as Mo/Mo/Mo) Jesse H son feb 1894 6 Eva A dau jul 1897 2 Hope that's some help.

Sandy, Thank you for looking for me. Could you give me the info for Elijah and Palina Burkhart. I have had a very hard time tracking down my gggrandfather Arthur Keiran. All I know about him is that he appeared in Sullivan County in 1880, married my gggrandmother Mary Waldon and then shot himself in 1906 or 1909. Family history has it that his parents came from Ireland under his mother's maiden name because his father was avoiding forced military service. My grandmother, who is 90 yrs old, said that they wouldn't talk about their life before coming here. Arthur was supposed to have been born in IL in the 1860's and was supposely named after his father. Don't you just love those ancestors that didn't want to leave a trail? Again thank you so much for your help. Mary "Robert Whitsell" <sandyw@thegrid.net> wrote: Hi Mary, Didn't find too much checking the different spellings of both the names.

These deaths below were published in a Unionville newspaper in the February 18, 1891 issue. 18 Feb 1891 Henry HORNBAKER, son of William, of Lincoln Township, died at home about the hour of going to press. Deceased was sick only about four weeks and died of consumption. 18 Feb 1891 St. John, Feb. 9.---A son of Samuel MULLENIX died and was buried in the St. John cemetery and was buried in the St. John cemetery on Saturday of last week. 18 Feb 1891, Local Jacob RUMMEL received word Monday by telegram that his father had died at his home in Olin, this state, and Mr. R. took the afternoon train to be present at the funeral. Mt. Harmony, 18 Feb 1891 We have received the sad intelligence of the death of John M. SHUMAKER, of Nebraska son of "Uncle" John Shumaker of this township

This death was published in a Unionville newspaper in the February 18, 1891 issue. I have typed it as it was printed, though I doubt the name below, "Ki" is the full name. It could be a number of names but this was how it was in the newspaper. 18 Feb 1891 A deplorable accident occurred at Ki MINICK'S in Elm Township Saturday last. His son and daughter, both small children, went to the barn and as they entered the door a horse kicked them at the time it was thought the boy would not recover from the blow received. It is also said that the girl did not get as much attention at that moment as the boy, as the parents were unaware she was injured in the least. It proved later, however, that she had received fatal injuries as she died in a few hours afterward.

The deaths below were listed in a Unionville, MO newspaper in the January 28, 1891 issue. 28 Jan 1891 Mrs. Charles BENNETT, died of consumption at her home in Greencastle Friday last. Deceased was a sister of Katie BRADSHAW who is well known in this city. The remains were brought here Saturday and were interred in the city cemetery. 28 Jan 1891, Hartford Died--Jan. 23rd, Grant FARRIS, son of Albert Farris of consumption. He was is his twentys. This is twice that death has visited that family in less than a year. 28 Jan 1891, Graysville It is reported that Mrs. Jesse O. WEST died on last Wednesday evening near Pleasant Home.

Dear Judy: Sandra Boehme is the daughter of Carl "Cy" and Katherine Rose Smith. Katherine's parents were Hugh Nelson and Mae Rose. Nelson was one of Enoch Rose's sons. I'm sure you can figure the relationship out from there. I am one of the officers of the Rose Cemetery and we are all very greatful to Sandy for her contribution of the pictures of Benjamin and Enoch's family to the Cemetery. I thought she lived in Lucerne. That is where she was the last I heard. Perhaps she has moved. I have all of the burials that I know of in the cemetery. All of the marked graves and what I have been able to find on the unmarked ones. Do you have any information on anybody who is buried there whose grave may not be marked or the stone has weathered away so it can't be read? I would appreciate what you may have. I will be glad to share what I have with you. I am trying to get a list of all of the people buried there, and I know I am missing some, particularly the older graves - like before 1900. John E.

I just got back from an emergency visit to St. Joseph, MO. I got to take one day away and my cousin took me to see the Rose Family Cemetery, Grayville, Putnam Co, MO. We took pictures which I will post when I get them scanned. At the cemetery in one of the buildings was a picture of Benjamin Rose b 1808 and d 1888. It had been donated by Sandy (Smith) Boehme in 1993 from Lucerne, MO. We tried to find her at Lucerne but no one knew who she was. Does anyone have any information on who she is. I am sure she is from Benjmain Rose's second family with Elizabeth Ann Robbins as there was also a picture of Enoch Rose's family. I am from his first family with Sarah Ann Holman. His daughter Susannah Martha Rose was my great grandmother. Any information on these people would be appreciated. If you want a copy of the cemetery pictures, feel free to email me. Thank you.

These are deaths listed in the 28 Jan 1891 issue of a Unionville newspaper. Mrs. Jesse O. WEST, of Pleasant Home, died on Wednesday morning of last week, of inflammation of the stomach. Her illness was of brief duration, she not having been sick over twenty four hours. Deceased was in her 46th year, was a sister of A.P. MCELHINEY and Mrs. HOLT, of this city. Len HODGES of Elm township, formerly postmaster at Pleasant Home, was in the city on Saturday last and informed us of the sad death of a child of Mr. A.B. WHEELER'S who resides near him. On Sunday while the parents were out of the house, the little ones clothing caught on fire. It rain to their assistance but before aid was rendered was so badly burned, death ensued in a few hours.

These are deaths reported in the 28 Jan 1891 issue of a Unionville Newspaper. 28 Jan 1891, Local Charlie YOUNG, the engineer of the coal shaft at Milan fell from the tub while being hoistd from the bottom of the shaft, Tuesday of last week, and was instantly killed. He fell from 160 to 180 feet, his skull being smashed, jaw broken and left arm crushed. The accident was not attributed to any defects in machinery but it is supposed that Young's hands cramped and lost their grip on the rope. 28 Jan 1891, Locals A sad death was that of Mrs. Oscar STINSON in Wilson township, Thursday last. Mr. and Mrs. Stinson had been married just a week today. She was taken suddenly ill the day following the marriage and grew worse til death relieved her suffering. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas ROSEBERRY of near Pollock.

7 Jan 1891, Locals Geo. W. POPE died at his home in this city, Saturday after a lingering illness of consumption. Decease was a young man of good moral habits, and was always ready to do his part in advancing the interests of his associates in a social way and hand many zealous friends in this city. He confessed faith in Christ during the series of meetings held at the Presbyterian church a few weeks ago, and received the ordinance of baptism at his residence, being at that time to weak to attend the services. He leaves a wife and little son, his mother, brother, and sisters to mourn and cherish his memory. The services were conducted by Rev. E.E. STRINGFIELD Sunday morning after which the remains were taken to the city cemetery for burial.

Connie: You asked about James and Sabra Davis of Putnam County. They were natives of Clinton County, Kentucky. James was the son of John and Mourning (Guffey) Davis. Sabra I believe was a Hamilton. She was James' second wife. His first wife was Jennie Hopkins. She apparently died in Kentucky. My 3rd great grandparents were Dennis and Sarah (Davis) Hopkins, and they were the brother and sister of Jennie and James. The Davis', Jones', Hopkins', Guffey's and other families of the Hartford-Unionville area all came from the Wayne-Clinton County area of Kentucky and all seem to be related. You will find many of them buried in the Thompson and Pherigo Cemeteries plus many others in the area. A very good source on these families is "Early times in Clinton County" by Jack Ferguson. Many Genealogical libraries have it. John E. Sparks connie mincy wrote: > Sandy > Do you have any records for a James or Sabra Davis of Putnam County? > Connie >
