    1. Re: [MOTANEY] Casey Cemetery ~ Forsyth
    2. Hi Doug - I have never seen Janice's books as I have lived on the West Coast my whole life. We got to stop in Forsyth in August 1996 for a little over an hour before we got an emergency call to speed us up on our way to Youngstown Ohio where my mother-in-law was in a medical emergency. And, as I still have 4 school-aged kids living at home, it will probably be a long time before I get the chance to get back that way again. But it was beautiful country. Do you have those volumns of Janice's at your disposal? If so, would you be willing to make photocopies of the items you listed for me in your email - including title, contents & publication pages of the volumns as the info comes out of them? I would be more than happy to reimburse for postage & copies & gas for the trip to town. I am really curious about the Stiffler stones in the Edwards Cemetery - do you know where it is located? Another item of interest comes about regarding the obituary of John Bardell Stiffler in 1899 which stated that after he moved to Taney Co. he & family resided on the Casey homestead for about 14 yrs before he got up the money to buy his own home. We have often wondered if perhaps the old cabin in Silver Dollar City could have been the cabin that John's family lived in. John Bardell Stiffler, by the way, is the Stiffler who owned the cabin in Harrison, Arkansas where the Stiffler Springs is located. Though the original deed shows his brother Albert bought the land, the two brothers were trappers together and it was Albert who made the trip to the land office but John & his new wife, Martha Ann Brumbelow who took up residence & paid for the land. Albert returned to the family home in Rush Co. Indiana where he married in 1854, and returned by the time of the 1860 U.S. Census - John remained on the land. I know John is buried in Taney Co. - just not sure where, though at last communication with the Stiffler family still in town we all think he probably was buried in the Casey Cemetery but without further proof, we will remain unsure. ~gina~ Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html <A HREF="http://burningskyenterprises.com/">Burningskyenterprises.com</A>
