John,
My Great Grandmother was a Mary Elizabeth Carney b. about 1860 in Nursery Hill, Dent Co.
Mo.. She married my great grandfather Thomas Matthew Cavaness on Aug 23, 1874 in Salem,
Dent Co. Mo. She died on the 28 of June 1889. She is supposed to be buried in Salem, but,
last Oct., I was there and could not locate the grave. I did fine the Carney graves which
have a concrete border around them.
Have you contacted Cathy Neil Rakoczy? She is a Carney relative. (rakoczy(a)txucom.net)
My grandfather John Franklin Caviness b.27 Aug. 1875 was the oldest child of Mary and
Thomas.
Thomas is buried in the Caviness Cem. between Success and Licking, MO.
I do have the lineage of Mary back to her lineage that came from Germany. (Shults)
Mary's mother Malinda Jane Shultz Carney Shumate was living in Henryetta, Oklahoma
with my grandfather John Franklin in the 1910 Federal Census. She was 77 years old at
that time. I do have a picture of her. On the back of the photo, it states that she was
very strict.
Do you have any idea who a Marion Howell was? He or she was 33 at the time of the 1910
Census. The Census has him or her also living with John Franklin.
