The library. They have a good genealogy department and very helpful workers. Not a lot of people know about the society and the courthouse isn't going to publicized that they have them available. Although if they're originals, a good idea might be to give the courthouse the originals and copies to the library. -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Turner <turner.barbara@gmail.com> To: valee@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 3 Apr 2008 11:46 pm Subject: Re: [VALEE] Old documents Hi, Which organization is more likely to put them where people can have access to them?

Hi Brenda, If you are the same person I have some info on their children and on James Moore's family I just don't have anything I can prove just yet about Nancy there is a site that mentioned Nancy's father being Charles Gibson but He doesnt list any sources for where he found that So I am still looking to see whether or not that is correct but so far I have hit a dead end.

hello I am new to this list and I was wondering does Lee Co have death records for the years between 1880 and 1900 and if so where are they located. BParris

My father passed away on March 30th with Mom by his side. LeRoy Wray Zion, a 50-year resident of Arcadia, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2008 at the age of 85. Roy was born on March 22, 1923 in Havelock, Nebraska to Hubert Clayton and Lyvia Margruette Zion. His family moved from Nebraska to California in 1923. Roy lived a long and fulfilling life. He served in the USMC from January 1, 1943 to December 7, 1945 with the 4th Division, 155th Howitzer Battalion, 1st. Provisional Field Artillery Group, Fleet Marine Corps. He also served in the USMC Reserves from May 21, 1947 until December 8, 1948. He saw combat in Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. His younger brother Ken, who served with the 4th Division, 23rd Infantry, was killed on Saipan July 1, 1944. While in Saipan Roy and Ken used to swap their letters from home. Some of those letters to Ken were from Kay Jones, who would turn out to be Roy's future wife. Roy was always very proud of his service in the Marines. As he always quoted, "Once a Marine, Always a Marine". Roy worked for Pacific Bell for over 34 years, retiring in 1981. He served as a CWA Union Officer, Local 9505, for 21 years including 3 terms as President and 3 terms as Vice President. He remained active in the Union as well as the Elks, Lodge 1427, the American Legion, Post 247, the TelCo Pioneers, and Chapter 2 of the 4th Marine Division. He organized and chaired a gathering of Telco retirees twice a year, The 338 Club, which was just held this past March 12th in Pasadena. Roy was truly an outdoorsman. He loved fishing, hunting, trailering, jeeping, working in his flower and vegetable gardens and on his huge model train set. Most of the buildings for his trains were made by hand, from photos of old ghost towns he had been to over the past many years. He especially enjoyed spending time with his wife and family in the Eastern Sierras every summer, sometimes as long as up to 3 months camping and fishing! His children have continued this tradition each year as well, joining their parents just this past August in Bridgeport, California for several weeks. He leaves behind his loving wife of over 60 years, Kay; his children Sandy (Merlin) Anderson of Duarte, Kathy (Mike) Bell of Glendora, Ken (Chris) Zion of Long Beach, and Mike Zion of Long Beach; grandchildren Kristopher & Matthew Bell of Glendora, Alana (David Roberts) Zion of Monrovia, Travis Zion of Duarte, Tom & Roy Zion of Long Beach; and a great-granddaughter, Yaiden Zion Roberts of Monrovia. He also leaves behind a multitude of other family and friends whose lives he touched. He will be greatly missed by all of those who knew him and his memory will be cherished forever. Funeral services will be held at the Monrovia United Methodist Church at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 10, 2008. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made, in Roy's name, to the Monrovia United Methodist Church or to a charity of your choice. His final resting place will be private, in God's Country. Adios and Semper Fi Sandy Zion-Anderson http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/z/i/o/Sandy-Zion/index.html Other names also in my tree: BIDDLE, BLUBAUGH, CARTER, CREECH, CREVELING, ELY, FLEENOR, FRALEY, GILLENWATER, GOBBLE, HOBBS, JAYNE, LITTON, MCCORMICK, MUNCY, PARSONS, PENNINGTON, ROOP, RUSSELL, SIMS, SKAGGS, SLAGLE, SLEMP, SPRINKLE, STANDIFER, THOMPSON & YEARY

Paul Yeary MORGANFIELD -- Paul Yeary, 94, Morganfield, died at 11:45 p.m. Thursday, March 13, 2008, at Harrisburg Care Center in Harrisburg, Ill. He was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Josephine Yeary; and his wife, Lena Mae Yeary, who died in 1995. Survivors include a daughter, Peggy of Tecumseh, Mich.; three sons, Tom Yeary of Morganfield, Wesley Yeary of Baxter, Ky., and Wendell Yeary of Harrisburg; 11 grandchildren; and great-grandchildren. Services will be at 10 a.m. Monday at Whitsell Funeral Home in Morganfield. The Rev. Wendell Yeary will officiate. Burial will be in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Morganfield.

Elvie, I hope that works out well for you. We seem to have a history of heart trouble in our line of Thompsons in the Harlan and Bell Counties area. In fact I have a leaky heart valve myself, but it didn't start effecting me until now. My Lewises had rheumatoid arthritis so things like that do run in families.

Hey Barbara, My brother Dale has said he will take it, so that has not been the hold up! Its the money thing and the fact that I have so many brickwalls that it was where to start. But I think I can come up with the $100.00 in a couple weeks, especially if I play it right with my brothers, I am the only girl and the youngest so I can get my way, only i don't like to use it, but since i have never asked for money to help my genealogy, I am sure they will go for it! Another reason I work on the genealogy so hard and money is tight is for medical reasons as I have had severe arthritis since my teens and had again to leave work due to it this last year. I am only 48 and am quite crippled up at times and I am curious if this something that plagued any of my ancestors? So wish me luck with talking with my brothers this weekend, I'll let you know next Monday the verdict. I will in the meantime take your advice and look at Giles Co. which I am familiar with as I worked on my Davidson and Bell's and a few more that were connected to that area. They are my mom's side. I am beginning to think I must be related to half of VA and W. VA and also TN!!! Take Care... Evie --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

You are welcome. If you do manage to get someone to take the test, let me know if you match up with my group. I never could get anyone from my particular line to do the test, but Ron was a distant cousin and he did the test so that is all that matters.
