I am interested in obtaining more information on John W. Carnahan and wife
Sarah Lula. I have plenty of Carnahan information if you need it.
I am a descendant of Mary Jane Carnahan and Jacob Ivester.
Thanks,
John Fahland

Emma,
Thanks for the reply.
John W. and Sarah Lula also had two daughters who died in infancy. I do
not
know their names. James died in Feb 21 1925 from tuberculosis.
(source:
John
W. obit) I don't have the date of Clyde's death but it was
about 1933 from
a
heart attack. He was editor of the Desha County Democrat.
Clyde's only
child
was Francis Neil who was born in 1924 and died in 1967. I am
Francis's
daughter. He was editor of the Eudora Enterprise, Eudora, AR.
An unverified family story is that Sarah Lula died just a few weeks after
I
was born in 1947. Since her daughters died in infancy and she had
only
one
grandchild, a boy, she was, I was told, excited about having a
ggranddaughter and
was looking forward to all the fun we were going to have. However
the one
time she saw me, she had a cold and didn't get near me for fear of giving
it
to
me. That illness, I was told, was her fatal illness. Since I am
fairly
new
to genealogy, I have not yet taken the time to verify this story.
I would be interested in any information you have about my ancestry.
