Hi All! Looks like I'll finally get to make my pilgrimage to Scotland County in mid-May! Am trying to organize my research so will know exactly what I want to look for. Perhaps list members can help with questions I have, in no particular order... - Is the SunRise Motel still the best place to stay? - I want to visit the following cemeteries: Concord, South Bethel ME, and Indian Creek. Are they reasonably accessible? Easy to find? In reasonably good shape? - What are the Library's hours and when is the Genealogy Room open? My visit is limited to midweek, is that going to be a problem? - Anything else I should know? I'm researching the family of Samuel HARRIS and Mary McPHERSON Samuel F. HARRIS (1817 - 1893) & Mary E. McPHERSON (1820 - 1895) m. 16 Jan 1840, Lewis Co, Missouri - Mary Frances HARRIS (1840 - 1923) & John Samuel HENDRICKS (1842 - 1920) m. 6 Jan 1861, Scotland Co, Missouri - John S HARRIS (1845 - 1861) never married - Nancy Ann HARRIS (1848 - 1930) & Dexter M. ROUNSAVELL (1841 - 1921) m. 6 Sep 1866, Scotland Co, Missouri - William Milton HARRIS (1852 - 1913) & Emily Coburn HORNE (1860 - 1934) m. 1 May 1880, Napa, Napa Co, California - Sarah HARRIS (1855 - 1894) & John S. WIGNER (1849 - 1934) m. ca 1874, Missouri - Samuel B. HARRIS (1856 - 1926) & Louisa B.

I'm so excited!! Ellen East Lansing, Michigan, where it can't decide whether to be winter or summer.
Hi it's me again, (Margaret). My Uncle, Arthur Lowe is buried in the S. Bethel Cem. The Church that was there was sold a year or so ago and moved to a different location. My Uncle also married a McPherson, (Freda). Would be glad to help you if I can about the area and all. Margaret (Lowe) M. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellen R.
