Below is from a newspaper clipping from August 6th, 1944. The lady who is listed as
"Mrs. Mintue Snow, Pleasant Hill" Is Armintia "Mint"
"Minnie" Cary Snow. She is my 3rd Grt Grandmother. I'm trying to research
the Cary Family, and the Bucher Family... Armintia Snow Cary has two sisters that married
two Bucher brothers. Mary Jane Cary married William Henry Bucher, and Georgia
"Annie" Anne Cary married Philip Dorse Bucher Sr. Both William and Philip has a
sister named Susan "Jennie" Marion Bucher who married Preston Erwin, both of
whom are my 3rd Grt Grandparent's as well. Preston and Jennie Erwin had a son named
Frank Erwin, he married Armintia's daughter Francis "Fanny" Catherine Snow.
Confusing I know... I would like to know more about the Bucher's (pronounced Booker).
I know Jennie's, William's, and Philip's father was Samuel Bucher. He was the
Marshal of West Port (Kansas City, Mo) and was murdered in 1879. Would like to know more,
and possibly find pictures !
of all listed. Your help is much appreciated in advance! I was once told that the Cary
Reunion is still held today but may have moved to Lees Summit, Mo. My Grandmother had
gone to it back in 1960's.
