Looks like summer has been busy for everyone on the
list. I am so pleased with all the messages coming in.
Havent had much time to write but have been doing lots
of newspaper research on all my KS families. It has
been a rewarding search and I encourage all of you to
do some newspaper research of your families if you
have not already. It helps add personal data to your
files.
Examples:
1. I was able to take my 87 year old Mother to see the
lot in Benton KS, where her Mother Pearl was born in
1897.
2. Proved where some children were buried that the
stones were gone from a tornado that went through
cemetery years ago. Now we will be able to replace
stones.
3. Found my g-great grandpa was a county commissioner
on the early Republican ticket, in 1887. And that he
ran a livery stable in a town we didnt even know he
lived in.
4. Found his son, my great grandpa death written up
in three papers, not obits, but facts about his death.
It is time consuming, but worth the effort. I am still
in Kansas and will be here a few more weeks. If you
need to reach me post a message to this Yahoo address.
I check it once or twice a week. Sue Ellen
