Hi Julie and maillist members. Don't have any data William Franklin Rainwater born MO. I do have a Benjamin Franklin Rainwater, born 5 Nov 1874 in Camden Co., MO. WFR married Evie Munday. He is buried Park Lawn Cemetery, Kansas City, MO. I have no other infomation as to this family but it may be a start. Suggest looking for Death Certificate/Probate Record/Marriage records etc. Everton Publications says Camden Co has records from 1902 after Court House burned. County was form from Benton and Pulaski co's in 1841. Good luck! Hal, from Northern California!
