Offering look-ups from "Biennal Reports, Missouri State Institutions, 1911-1912". Even though this 1100+ page unindexed book has reports on ALL MO State Institutions for these years and quite a few different types of lists and names, I will ONLY honor requests for the PAYROLL report for State Hospital #3 in Nevada MO certified as of Jan 02, 1913. THERE ARE NO PATIENTS LISTED. Also, I receive posts in DIGEST form, so it may be a little while :-) Brenda

Three MIZER brothers, William P., James and George murdered with their brother-in-law, John EDWARDS in Jan. 1867 near the Missouri-Arkansas border. Residents of Benton Co., AR since appx. 1850 but lived during the war in Newton, Mc Donald and Lawrence Cos., MO. John Edwards widow, Elizabeth Caroline MIZER EDWARDS remarried James William JAMESON in Lawrence Co., MO in 1870. All men members of the union army during the war. A person by the name of Mc Kissick may have been a witness. Need help in finding out where exactly this happened, why it happened and where the men are buried. rnmhalsey@home.com

UNSUBSCRIBE I am Unsubscribing from all mailing lists, for the present time. We have had a terrible Family EMERGENCY this week-end. Plus the STRESS of my pending Surgery to try and save my right leg has been scheduled for 22 JUNE 2001. I have to donate enough Units of blood, to get me through the Surgery before they will operate. If the inner compressed infection and the complete knee replacement can not be done, then the leg will be amputated. My grandmother Sedalia RUCKER Dexter had her leg amputated when a teen ager, my Uncle, when in the prime of life, lost his. They both lived GOOD lives well into their years. Our step-grandson had his amputation before 3 years of age, played football, basketball, baseball and swimming. So you can see , we are a determined bunch. You don't think that the RUCKER Blood in these veins has anything to do with that, DO YOU.!! I will still be working on my Genealogy and Family Research, just will not have time to answer so many e-mails that come with belonging to the mailing lists. If we are working on a project, please continue with me on it. I just have to cut down a little, from the present 10 to 16/18 hours per day to 6 to 8 hours per day at this time. When not at home, I will always have my notebook computer with me. Please continue to keep in touch... For those that I was to send my address, that are sending Documents and Records, I will include my Snail Mail Address following this E-Mail. The Researchers that are working now, on the Rucker Projects, I will continue Full Time with you on our work. Everything must be sent to my Private E-Mail at: leighton@pacifier.com I will still be checking my E-Mail. Even while I am in the hospital, if and when I am able to. So, Please keep in touch. I know it will help to keep my mind off all my troubles and my aches and pains for the next several months. Thanks for your understanding in this most difficult time.

I do not know if this will be allowed on a mailing list or not, but here goes. I just received this and does it ever hit the nail on the Head.. We have had several friends and relatives that this has happened to in the Past ten years. What a pity. One must prepare for that day. {{It must be in Writing,}} If it is not, then the family ( executor) can do what ever they want to do with it and you can do nothing to stop them. Please put it into writing as what you want done with all those little pieces of papers, the files, information on your computer and boxes of what other people call junk, etc...etc... Remember you MUST have it in writing. C & D in Oregon __ | " A GENEALOGIST'S NIGHTMARE " | | Dear Cousin ////, | In response to your letter, I am sorry to inform you that grandpa " Fred " | died some time back and the stuff you asked | about is not available. The personal property the family did not want was | old at an estate sale. All those boxes of junk | did not interest a single buyer. We were able to salvage several binders | for the kids homework after we sent all the paper | to the incinerator. The kids really complained bout having to lug all that | paper and pictures of those ugly old folks to the dumpster. | | An old family Bible from the 1840's did bring $5.00. The one from the | 1870's did not sell. There also was a bunch of | floppy disks that we were able to reformat and download some games for the | kids to play on their new playstation. | At least SOMEBODY got some good from the three generations work. | | I saw the fellow at a flea market a couple of weeks ago and he said he threw | the Bible in the trash after nobody was | interested in it. He said he got an offer for fifty cents for it, but would | rather burn it than give it away. He seemed to | be having a lot of success with some very nice Elvis paintings at his booth. | | The two aunts you asked about are also dead. They were such a delight and | could talk all day long about the things | papa had written about. I remember them saying something about some | records that were copied from two | courthouses that later burned. | | Neither ever wrote down a single thing. The letter you referred to was one | he typed up and sent to lots of folks who | wrote him. He laughed about them never getting any of his hard work as well | as his Fathers and Grandfather who was | in the Civil War. He guarded all the information carefully to the bitter | end. I wish I could remember some of the things | to help you, but I was bored to tears listening to them talk about the | family members who were in the civil war and those | silly pieces of paper he showed so proudly. I vaguely remember they had | some beeswax seals and something to do | with the land grants that were destroyed in the courthouse fires. | | I wish I could remember the story about his grandfathers evening with | Jefferson Davis when he was on the run. There | are also some very juicy stories that were handed down, but I don't remember | them very well. Another thing I remember | after he got sick was some fellow calling him and he agreed to let him come | down and copy all his material. He told him | he would call him back when he felt better. Papa mentioned something about | letting the society the man was from have | all his work SINCE NOBODY IN THE FAMILY CARED anything about a bunch of | people who had been dead for 200 years. -- Papa died the next week. -- | | I am so sorry papa and the two generations WASTED so much of their life on | such WORTHLESS HOBBIES and | hope your family will follow something more interesting. We enjoy Bingo and | bowling very much here in Pleasantville. | | I really enjoyed hearing from a long lost cousin and would like to hear back | if you find anything important. | The kids need the computer for their games and I need to go watch the " Millionaire " show. Your Cousin, //// Where is all your Research Files going? Where is all those Tombstone and Old Pictures going? What will happen to all the $$'s you spent on researching for those ARTICLES that you only have HALF finished? People that " DO NOT SHARE " deserve to have all their work destroyed when they pass on. I have had many that did not even return a reply to my queires or just plainly state " I DO NOT SHARE, " or " It has just cost me to much to get what I have." Why Not Preserve Some of Your Family History. "" SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE TODAY!!! "" It is a shame that one cannot understand that " SHARING IS CARING " ___

Discoveries from Journal 1918-1926 of Eunice Mildred Lamkin and John Charles Lindsey married in Vernon Cnty, Mo. 1.Wes Riley died on 16th at Fowlers Cot or Col. Does anyone know what this means? He was John Wesley Riley who married my husband's G grandfather's sister, Victoria Lindsey/Linsey/Lindsay b 1852 KY, lived and married in Vernon Cnty, Mo, believe it was to John Wesley Riley b 2850 and married a Victoria Lindsey 1872 in Vernon Cnty, Mo. 2. Alice Lindsey b 1858 MO, married Thomas Bellamy 1885 in Vernon Cnty, MO. Is this the daughter of Charles D. Lindsey? Believe it is, according to her age at birth of first child. Any info would be appreciated. 3. Willard Lindsey born 1864 MO. Did he die or marry? No info in journal about him. Any info would be appreciated. 4. Naomi Lindsey born 1866. Did she die or marry? Or could she be the Naomi Lindsey who married 5. And of course the info about the Journal: Eunice Mildred Lamkin b Ill 1864 and John Charles Lindsey born 1862 in Mo. Married in Vernon Cnty, MO. Lived in Bellamy, Ark. Okla, TX and N.M. An address listed in her journal and a visit to Mrs. M.K. Lindsey, Eddyville, Iowa. Who is this, a sister or connection to Charles D. Lindsey/Linsey/Lindsay. Can anyone give me any information about this family? They must have been in Mo. at one time or another for Eunice Mildred Lamkin Lindsey to be friendly enough to go on a train to visit her in Iowa. I have not completed journals, yet. It will take awhile, also she uses initials, so knowing more about your family will be helpful. She refers to the Vn's, the PW's, etc. Most of the people, I can figure out. By 1924, she has begun to use more names. Shirley A. Goings-Lindsey WLindsey@msn.com
