They had twins Larry and Gary. Larry died when he was about two I believe. They had a girl also. The fourth must have been from a different marriage. I'm not sure if she is still alive. But might be able to come up with some info if you need me to.

I have spent many hours looking at the information in your notebooks and copying records that would have taken me forever to find. I am interested in the Busick line that married in to the O'Days. Iam sorry you had a bad experience because the library staff are usually very courteous and friendly. The library has been very generous in providing space for the geneology dept. It is a small library with a limited budget and they make every inch of space count. I again thank you for your generous donation . Pat Daugherty

If you go to http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Madison/MadisonUnionH.htm and scroll down to page 683 it's in the second paragraph. Richard Cowling and his wife deeded land for the cemetery. It might be that Cowling was a "local" name for Oak Hill or even a variant name.

Burton CRAWFORD, Jr., was born November 28, 1888, and departed this life July 20, 1906, at his home near Concord, Range township, aged 17 years, 7 months, and 22 days. He leaves to mourn their loss a father and mother, Burton and Frances CRAWFORD, three brothers, Joseph, Benjamin and Frank, and five sisters, Nettie, now Mrs. BARRETT, Mrs. Sarah HAYMAN, Louise, Amelia and Olive. In the home Bertie was a dutiful and an affectionate brother. One of his striking characteristics was that of self - sacrifice. He was ever ready to bare his share of the burden and always ready to lighten the burden of others. He was of a lovely, kindly disposition. Those who knew him will remember him with a smile on his face. Although he was somewhat retiring and diffident, yet he made many friends and in their hearts he leaves a vacancy that can scarcely be filled. His friends will remember his high sense of honor shown in his desire to keep his word when given, and to discharge all his obligations. he took great interest in the affairs of home and community and delighted in having something of his own. He was bright , energetic and thrifty and gave promise of becoming a valuable man to society. If the foundations of character are laid in youth, Bertie was building up in himself a manhood which should have been an honor to himself, his fellowman and his Maker. But God desires to pluck some of the flowers to adorn the harvest of ripe grain -- thus we believe God took him just at the opening of his manhood because he desired him. While the loss to the home is hard to sustain -- the vacant chair cannot be filled, yet we are reconciled to God's will. ''The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord.'' While Bertie was not yet a member of Christ's church we believe as a boy he was a member of Christ's fold. By his life and interest in Christ's work we knew he was one of Christ's children. His life bore the fruits of a Christian character. He was one of whom Christ spoke when he said, ''And other sheep have I which are not of this fold; them also I must bring and they shall be one fold and one shepherd'' In this life there was the consciousness of God as a Father and Helper. His last moments were those of peace and reconciliation. He bore his suffering patiently and was willing to go, saying ''Its all right. Its all right.'' There is no death! the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore And bright in heaven's jeweled crown They shine forever more. There is no death: an angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread He bears our best loved things away And then we call them dead. He leaves our hearts all desolate He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers, Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers And where he sees a smile too bright Or hearts too pure for taint and vise He bears it to that world of light To dwell in paradise Born into that undying life, They leave us but to come again: With joy we welcome them the same Except in sin and pain. And ever near us though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is Life -- there is no dead. The funeral services were held at Concord church at 2 o'clock p. m., Sunday, July 22, conducted by Rev. MADDEN, of Sedalia. The church was filled with sorrowing friends and as the elegant white casket, covered with beautiful flowers, was borne from the church by his brothers and companions it was quite evident that one who was ever held dear in the community had passed away. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to the beautiful Midway cemetery, where it was laid to rest. Nancy

Married Jan. 1, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. WRIGHT, three miles east of South Charleston, Mr. James E. WRIGHT and Rosa E. REED, of Davenport, Neb. Only a few intimate friends were invited to witness the ceremony, which was officiated by Rev. J. H. MINDLING. The bride comes highly respected from her home in Nebraska, while the groom is one of our best and most prosperous young men. The bride wore a gown of cream cassimere, and the groom was attired in a suit of conventtional black. After congratulations were received, the guests repaired to the dining room, where a bounteous supper was served. The young couple have many friends, who wish them a happy and prosperous voyage down the river of life. At he bottom my grandmother has written " Jas. was a cousin.'' Nancy
