Hi all; These are something abit different. These are births that were listed by the newspaper in 1889. I don't know if the doctors reported them or if the newspaper editors collected them and submitted them at the end of the year, nor do I know the issue they were listed in. These were found in the clippings book at the Unionville library and I'm assuming they're from a Unionville MO newspaper. They give the surname, the month and day of birth, and much to us ladies chagrin, it states by the wife of and then gives the mans names, the township child was born in and the sex of the child.

This is a problem, as I cannot tell if this is David HOWRY (1847/9-1933) or his nephew, David HOWRY (1868-1948). -- Amelia Reimer Searching: HOWRY KENNEDY LAUDERBOUGH/LAUDERBAUGH/etc. SHANE CLARK LEE CRAWFORD WILLIAMS BROWNLEE WOODWARD MOORE
