Dear List Members, It is so good to see the activity stirring on the list! I did some checking in the archives of this list and noted that in a past posting Mr. Weese ( our kind webmaster) stated we had about 203 members on this list. Wouldn't it be great if everyone posted just 1 of their obits once a week or even once a month to allow discussion to occur? I don't know if there needs to be any restrictions in regards to dates to keep from causing a copyright infringement but I would think we could be safe with prior to 1905 perhaps? Please be sure to post your source with your obit, so that others can check too. So please, everyone consider posting 1 oibt to keep this list lively! Sincerely Randy Sue PS I just started going through my database and looked for death dates prior to..and that's why they were pretty much alphabetical order

Were there two Jeremiah Robinet's. I have the following on one.

I need to know about a place called "Will House" at the corner of Main and Market Streets in McArthur. I know that the proprietor was E. Martin. I have a GG Aunt Eliza Jane Riggs Martin and Ellison Martin that in the 1900 Census stated that they ran a boarding house. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is the place??? Thanks in advance, Rob Schrader

Clipping from unknown newspaper:1909 C.S Turner, who is so well known in this community, died of old age at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Clifford in this city last Friday afternoon at 1 O'Clock March 5, 1909 at the extreme age of 80 years, seven months and three days. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Cullison at the M.E. Church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and interment was made in the Walnut cemetery by the side of his wife who died in 1891and two of his daughters, one Mrs. Helms who died several years ago and the Miss Mary Turner, who died about ten years ago. There were no other services in town at this hour so that all could attend the funeral and there was a large audience to pay their respects to another of the Kansas pioneers who came here and in the midst of drouths, grasshoppers and the threatening of starvation and succeded in converting what was the great western desert into what is now the waving fields of grains and blossoming orchards of sunny Kansas. We owe homage ancestral to these passing pioneers who toiled and suffered that we now have the pleasure of enjoying the fruits of their labors. Craven S Turner was born in Loudon county, Virginia, August 2, 1819. At the age of sixteen, he with his parents moved to Ohio, later locating at Mc Arthur, O., where he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Crow. He still resided there at the opening of the Civil war and on Aug 5, 1862, he responded to the summons for more volunteers and enlisted in Company B 90th Ohio Infantry and served the remainder of the war, being discharged at the close of the war June 13, 1865. At the close of the war he returned to his family and resumed his occupation as a farmer. In 1869 he moved to Illinois where they remained one year after which they came to Kansas and located on the farm on Flatrock Creek west of this city ( Walnut) where he resided until the death of his daughter ten years ago. After that he went to Oklahoma and resided with his son for a short time. He then returned to Walnut where he had since resided with his daughter. He united with the M.E. church in this city many years ago. The deceased was the father of nine children all of whom are dead except two, I.W. Turner, who resides at Estancia, N.M and Mrs. Elizabeth Clifford of this city. His son was unable to be present at the funeral on account of sickness in his own family. Six of his old comrades were chosen as pallbearers as follows: J.P. Morgan, Daniel Plum, E.R. Clark, J.A. Balla, Arch Markham and S.H. Ewing. The deceased had been in poor health for many years and had been almost helpless for several years during his stay with his daughter, but she cared for her father in a kind way, only which could be done by a dutiful daughter.

Hi Elsie-Yes,the school was on past that house (The Whipples lived there) and on the same side of the road,right beside the road that went back into the old Eberts place,as we called it.

to anyone interested in KIRKENDALL - I remember seeing that name on some people buried in Searcy County , Arkansas . If you get on that list there are people on tht list who live in the area & will tell you where they are .

Dorothy: This is the cemetery out there on the road between Dundas and Rte 160 around which they did the strip mining isn't it? My cousin's soninlaw is buried there down over the hill- Paul ERvin , and the Woodruff family that used to live near us and I grew up with are buried there with their parents.

Some people call this cemetery Zion,and some call it Tarr Farm. But it seems to me ,that years ago,there was a small cemetery beside the little Tarr Farm school house,which was not very far from the larger cemetery.Any, if there was one, it must have got destroyed,when the school did,when they were mining the coal out there.I remember seeing the littlewhite schoolhouse,when i was a child.
