Vinson Community is located south of Essex in T24 R11. In the 1990's the old school building was still standing, and Vinson General Baptist Church still held services at that time. According to the old Stoddard Co. cemetery book which was published in 1972, the Cravins Cemetery was located in S9 T24 R11. It is now abandoned with no stones - someone apparently gave a list of the following burials to the cemetery book committee: John R. Romine, 1883-1899, s/o S.J. and Sisly; Cassia Swain, Jacob Swain, Sarah Margaret Cravins, Mary Elizabeth Cravins, John H. Cravins, Marrs infant, Nancy Jane Cravins, Wm. Johnson, Sarah J. Ramsey, Y.T. Moore, Farrell infant, and Benjamin P. Romine, d. 1872 age 6, s/o T. & R.A. (I can send the dates on the others if needed.) Is it possible the Cravins Cemetery was also known as Romines? There is also a Barker Cemetery in the area at S33 T24 R11. Samuel J. Romine, 1848-1914, is buried at Taylor Cemetery, located in S26 T25 R11, which is southeast of Essex. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: mostodda-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mostodda-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of mostodda-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 12:00 AM To: mostodda@rootsweb.com Subject: MOSTODDA Digest, Vol 2, Issue 5 Today's Topics: Message: 2 Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2007 01:47:43 -0000 From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Subject: [STODDARD, MO] Vinson Community and Romines Cemetery To: <MOSTODDA-L@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <1168307264.20700@rootsweb.com> Content-Type: text/plain; This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Many of my Romines branch were buried in a family (Romines) cemetery there. I wanted to verify that both the Community and the Cemetery were gone, and if there were any records of the gravestones. My great grandfather, William Jackson Romines, and his mother whose name was Nancy were both buried there.

My great grandfather was James Richard Romines your Great Grandfathers older brother. Albert the oldest of Tom Lee and Nancy's childrn died around age 16. I am told uncle Jack Romines died in an explosives accented in 1920, his widow, Caroline, then moved her family back to Arkansas and after that she moved to Oklahoma where she remarried and started a new family. I have not been able to locate any of Uncle Jack's children or descendents. I would love to corraspond with you. contact me @ gwa54@cc.rr.com Gerald Avance Lakewood California ------------------------------ To contact the MOSTODDA list administrator, send an email to MOSTODDA-admin@rootsweb.com.
