I had not found that website previously. My husband and I were traveling and just got home yesterday. Needless to say...I was excited to get back to my genealogy. I have been trying to identify a possible burying site for my ggg grandfather who lived for quite some time in Jackson Co and eventually died there. His name was Samuel Bell. He was first married to Annie Deem. She died in Ritchie Co. They had about 10 children. He then married Artemesia Lane/Layne. He and Artemesia had 4 children. When Samuel died Artemesia married Strother Cook. I know Samuel died in Sandy (according to the death certificate) in July of 1879 but I have not been able to find a burial site. I realize that there may not have been a tombstone or if there was one, it may not be readable today. I have also tried to find burial sites for some of their children. Benjamin Franklin Bell (wife Elizabeth Brannon)died in August 1881 in Pond Creek. Nathaniel Bell (wife Hannah Elizabeth Hughes) died August 1873 in Jackson Co. Silas Bell (wife Valerie Balleuse)died June 1905 and I believe is buried in Blaine Memorial Cemetery. Elizabeth Bell married WD or John Vannest and was living in 1880 in Ripley, Jackson Co but I have no further information on her. Clarence Bell (wife Valeria Vannoy) was still living in Ravenswood, Jackson Co in the 1920 census. I also know that Samuel's second wife, Artemesia, was still living in Ravenswood in 1880 (she was then Artemesia Strother) and she was 76 years old. So...maybe Samuel is buried with his first wife, Annie. Maybe he is buried where his second wife is buried. Maybe, maybe, maybe I just don't know!!! Please stay in touch if you have further information on any of this family. You can also contact me direct at msmjcox@kconline.com Thanks again...Mary Jo Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
