I am searching for information on my great aunt and uncle that lived in Bates and Vernon counties in Missouri. Gertie was born in 1895 and Ray about the same time. I don't have a definite date or location for his birth or their deaths. Ray worked for the railroad for many years. I believe they may have spent the last days of their lives in Bates county, but I know they lived in Vernon County also. If anyone on the list knows of them or has any information about them, I would love to hear from you. They may have lived as long as the 1960-1970 time line. Thanks.
