Attached is an obit that l think should be added to the K of P Cemetery listing. I checked the St. Francois website for the K of P online listing and he is not listed. Ancestry's CA death database has: George Wilson Cloud b. 4/20/1870 MO d. San Francisco 1/14/1949 age 79 yrs. All the facts in the CA database match up to the obit for George W. Cloud brother of M. E. Cloud. Marion Elisha Cloud was born 1867 and did not die until 1951, which fits in with the brother M. E. Cloud brother of the George W. Cloud in the obit. I am mystified why the son would bring his father's body all the way back to MO and bury him in the K of P Cemetery. I do not see another Cloud in the Flat River K of P Cemetery listing. Marion Elisha Cloud and his second wife Laura Henson are buried in St. Francois Memorial Park. Marion's first wife, Liza/Lida E. Gibbons was buried in the Bonne Terre Cemetery. I am a Gibbons descendant. Liza/Lida was a sister to my gr grandmother, Martha Gibbons. Can anyone who is researching the Cloud family explain why George was supposedly buried in the K of P Cemetery?

Linda, He may have been visiting or staying with his son who lived in California. In checking the listing for Knights of Pythias in Farmington, it indicates that there is a Carrie Cloud buried there who died in 1915. She is probably his first wife. The listing is as follows: CLOUD, Carrie, b. Nov. 23, 1878, d. Oct. 30, 1915. CLOUD, George W., b. Apr. 20, 1870, d. Jan. 14, 1949, died in San Francisco. We don't have all the photos from that cemetery online yet. The listing doesn't have the symbol indicating "no stone", so I assume there is a tombstone for them in the cemetery. I'll check my files and put any tombstones I find for them online.
