Maybe I missed it, but I'm thinking one of the Cubbage's was involved in the Yates Savings Bank which failed in l930. There was quite a stir in and around Higbee when its Citizens Bank, as I understand it, assumed some of the Yates Bank's more questionable loans, and then itself failed, leaving the Higbee Savings Bank as the only survivor there. Was Clarence the banker, or at least a member of the bank board?

Here is some further info on Clarence Cubbage and Laura Gertrude Patterson line. Clarence was born 1884, MO, son of Henry B. and Clara D. Cubbage. They were born in KY. He married, 1928, Laura Gertrude "Gertie" Patterson Tribble. She was born Jan. 20, 1884, M0, daughter of William Sterling "Wick" Patterson, and Julia Belle Blake (not Drake). Gertie m.1) abt 1902, Dudley Tribble. They had three sons. Dudley died about 1920. In 1913, Dr. W. J. Winn sold his drug store in Yates, MO to Wick and Julia Patterson. In 1919, Dudley and Gertie Tribble moved to Yates and became partners with the Pattersons. After her marriage to Clarence, he bought the store and operrated it until the late 1930's, when he moved the business to the Yates Saving Bank Building (Old Families of Randolph Co., MO, 1976, pg. 329). During the 1930 census, Clarence, 46, and Gertie, 46, were living next door to her parents in Randolph Co. Living with them was his brother, Lyle E. Cubbage, 34. Clarence died in 1956. Gertie lived until Oct. 24, 1962. She and both husbands are buried in the Roanoke Cemetery. Clark Blake >Charles, >I can add a little to your search.

Happy Easter Everyone: My gg grandmother Araminta Martin (born c.1826 and died c.1905) married my gg grandfather John Brown (an immigrant from the Baden region of Germany) in 1843 in Howard Co., MO and they lived in Randolph County (northeast of Roanoke) until the early 1880's when they moved to Schuyler Co., MO. Araminta Martin was the daughter of John Martin who, according to the 1850 census, was born c.1773 in North Carolina. John Martin died in 1856 in Randolph Co., MO. Besides Araminta Brown, other children of John Martin included Charles C. Martin, Thomas Martin, Jackson Martin, Nancy Martin, Rebecca Showner, Sally Cavanaugh, and Elizabeth Atterbury. From what I understand, John Martin owned and operated a General Store east of where present-day Yates, MO is located. Based on census information for his children, he was probably living in Kentucky from 1815 to about 1824 and then in Tennessee from 1824 until some point in the late 1820's as he appears on the 1830 census of Randolph County. I have not had much luck in determining his connection with the other Martins of Randolph County or his origins. Does anyone have any information on him? Thanks!

The wedding took place at the residence of the brides mother Mrs. Elizath (might be Elizabeth?) Hardin. The bride was richly attired in a beautiful apple green silk tastefully trimmed in the latest style,. She was the very personification of the grooms ideal of beauty. The bridegroom was elegantly dressed in a dark suit which seemed to be moulded to fit his manly form. They were a fine looking pair and were preceded to the nuptial altar by their attendants, Mr. George Hardin and Miss Lula Littrell, Mr. C.J. Powell and Miss Hannah Martin, Elder W Cook pronounced a very impressive ceremony which united two hearts and made them one. After congratulations, customary on such occasions, the bride-groom and bride, the attendants and guests, all repaired to the residence of the bridegroom's mother, Mrs. Minta Chambus where a sumptuous supper was awaiting their arrival.

It seems like I remember seeing somewhere that Julia Clemson may have been known as Julia Kitchen Clemson or Julia Clemson Kitchen. I don't know if she was a Kitchen or Clemson before she married Peter Powell, Sr. Kitchen may have been her maiden name or she might have married a Kitchen before marrying my gggg grandfather Peter Powell, Sr. Julia and Peter Powell, Sr. had two children before his death in 1849. I feel pretty sure she is connected to the Kitchen family someway -- just not sure how. Would you mind sending the names of the other folks buried at the Kitchen Cemetery. I would like to know who they are. We were there a couple of years ago and I took photos of the cemetery along with the headstones for Peter Powell, Sr. and Martha CARROLL Powell. They were leaning up against an old tree in the cemetery. The cemetery itself was in very bad shape. Many downed tree limbs and weeds made it impossible to see any other headstones except for one relatively new stone. Unfortunately I didn't write down the info that was on it.. By the way, as we were looking for the cemetery a large mountain lion came up right out of it and passed very close in front of us (approx. 25 feet or so). It walked passed, through a wire fence and into the field across the road an laid down. We tried to get some good pictures of it, but couldn't because of the tall weeds. I was so excited to see it that I couldn't get my video camera to work. The only problem with it was that it had the lens cap on it. Talk about being disappointed at no picture. Oh well! Anyway, I'd love to know the others buried there. I'd also be happy to share my digital pictures of the cemetery and the headstones if anyone is interested.

I noticed all the "silver gifts" and I just happen to own some silver pieces handed down from the Burtons that came from Randolph County from this same time period. Was there a siver mine around this area or does anyone happen to know where it came from?
