Within the last 10 years, my family tried to contact all of the Joel F. Severs decendants. According to papers I have recieved from my Uncle Andy, Joel Severs son's name was Dwight Russel born 1898 and married Lola Pigg. I have a picture of Dwight as a small child with his family. The only documentations I have that support my uncles papers are two censuses. A 1900 Lawrence Co., MO census lists Joel F. as head of household age 49 born in IL, Eliza, Joel's wife, age 44 born in IL, Bertha, Joan, Laura, Lula, Edna, Nina and Russell Dwight age 1 born in MO 1898. All were children of Joel. The 1930 Jasper Co., MO census I have is Severs, Russel V. age 31 born in MO, Vola M. age 28 born in MO is his wife. the children are Russel W. age 6 born in MO and Joe age 5 born in MO and Edward age 3- 8?/12. Does this help? Kathy
