unknown death date

CLKrajnik — 2013-01-10 22:41:11Z

I have a greatgrandmother Martha Willis or Wiles or Wilds mrd Will Saner, divorced, Mrd William Bougher.
Found this information on line; "GreenCastle Sullivan Co., Cemetary Missouri, This cemetery is located on Highway 6 on the eastern edge of the town of Greencastle in Section 13, Township 63 North, Range 18 East.
Lot 675, Martha Saner 1877-1913."
But Is she our Martha Saner. Missouri State CANNOT find a death Cert for her in 1912 or 1913 in Adair, or any 6 surrounding counties. Family handed down deathdate of Oct 13 1912 but no knowen place.
How do I get information from the Cemetery abt this person in this lot 675?

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

wheatshocker — 2013-01-10 16:26:02Z

Agreed.

I'm not going to publish anything 'official' (findagrave), until we have located concrete proof like a gravestone marker, obitiuary or primary cemetery record source.

Seems like you are at least narrowing down the possibilities, though.

Thanks,
Phil

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

garylmaize — 2013-01-10 14:25:02Z

Don't really like assumptions.
I know she is not part of my Burns line as they are at Buillion Cem.
There is the Albert and Louise Burns clan in the Shibley's Point cemetery that is getting into Northern Adair Co.

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

James T. True and Mary Featherly True are both buried at Morelock.
Would bet Julia is probably there with no stone or covered up stone.

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

garylmaize — 2013-01-09 17:16:18Z

Found James C. True to Juli Ann Burns Adair Co.. May 9, 1850
There are two boys born about 1875 to James True and Mary Featherly. Wonder if this is 2nd marriage after Julia died.

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

garylmaize — 2013-01-09 16:59:23Z

Who was her husband. Present day True's seem to be in Greencastle Cem. for the most part.

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

garylmaize — 2013-01-09 16:57:59Z

I use this site a lot. Adair Co. and Putnam Co. burials with a Kent funeral home burial listing.
https://sites.google.com/site/glloydsite/Home

A lot of Trues buried in Morelock and Novinger Cem. in Adair Co..
She may have been buried without a stone or been missed in canvassing the cemetery. I've been to Morelock and maybe Cain/Collett which is up the road from Morelock. Seems as if True were in both.

Re: Cemetery lookup please?

Easiest would be to call the Putnam Co. library at Unionville and see if they have the obit. They have a great collection of obits and tombstone inscriptions.1-660-947-3192
Really don't know why they did not put dates on the cemetery listing.

Sizeable True contingent in Adair Co., but, no Julia listed there either.

Re: RUSHTON, Wilbur Sherman

davidtodd42 — 2012-10-03 14:48:26Z

Martha Hill
[daughter of James Franklin and Harriet Jane (Morrison) Hill]
Born: July 11, 1870 in Putnam Co., MO
Died: Aug. 1893

She is listed as Sarah M. Hill in the 1880 Census.

It appears that Harriet Hill died in 1891 and
James Franklin Hill later married Amanda Williams. It may be that Martha married Wilbur Ruston about the time of her mother's death (prior to her father's second marriage).

Re: RUSHTON, Wilbur Sherman

davidtodd42 — 2012-10-03 14:33:39Z

There is a Martha Ruston buried in the Union Grove Cemetery in Putnam Co., MO. She died on August 21, 1893 at the age of 22 years, 11 months, and 14 days.

Edna Mearl Ruston was born on January 28, 1892 in Pollock, Sullivan County, MO.

If this is Edna's mother, she would have died when Edna was only 1 years old.

Apparently Wilbur Ruston married Kate Waldeck on Nov. 3, 1894. She had a daughter Bessie at the time that was the same age as Enda. (C-1900 Census)

Pollock, Sullivan County, MO is just about 12 miles from Unionville, Sullivan County, MO.

Re: anyone have any Putnam County civil war stories?

grandpadon2 — 2012-06-08 03:36:00Z

a follow-up to the above post -
The unit from Putnam county was also sent to Howard county the first week of November 1864 to give a military presence at polling stations for the presidential election that year. Since that area was heavy with rebel sympathy, they couldn't get much support from the locals to do what the Union command wanted.

I've heard from one person that the people in that area resented the Putnam County Militia being there and a lot of blame was put on them for some "executions" of more than one or two civilians and a lot of property destruction in Howard and Chariton counties. I can't determine if any of it was warranted or not. The "History of Putnam County" written in the 1880's suggests the Putnam county units were falsely accused of many atrocities and were almost the perfect soldiers.
Probably the truth is somewhere in between and we may never know for sure what really did or didn't happen.

anyone have any Putnam County civil war stories?

grandpadon2 — 2012-05-25 01:06:29Z

No actual "battle" occured within the county that I can find, but there was some activity - as with every county in Missouri.

In researching my great-great-grandfather's civil war role, I've found he served from 37-39 days active duty in Captain Peter Thompson's Company C with the 45th Enrolled Missouri Militia between August & November 1862. The time was spent guarding the unit's armory of rifle-muskets (probably kept at the courthouse), assisting the provost marshal to arrest suspected disloyals, some patroling, and fighting with guerrilla leader Bill Dunn's band in the area. 30 men of the 45th EMM garrisoned in Unionville all that summer.

Again in 1864 he was called into Captain G.W.R. Ledford's Company E to go to Macon County to help thwart any threat on the Union District Headquarters in Macon City when Sterling Price was pushing northward with 11,000 men in September-November 1864.

stormymontana — 2012-05-06 23:13:46Z

Hello, I am wondering if you can help me. I am researching our Sullivan family Line. They lived in the Missouri area from the 1850s through the turn of the century. We are not sure of the eldest parents names but understand that they passed away sometime during the Civil War in the Pest House near Ironton, Missouri. We were also told that this "Pest House" was later referred to as the "Poor Farm". They had several children that were taken in by various family and area people following their parent's death from the Small Pox. Two of the children were William Victor Sullivan (born in Dec 1859) and his brother, John L. Sullivan (born in August 1856). We believe there were two sisters, N.Nancy and Elizabeth (Lizzie). We believe there may have been others but can't be sure. William was reportedly born in Liberty, Iron County, Missouri and in all likliness, so were his siblings. We would love to know more about the family should anyone know. William Victor Sullivan married Etta Caroline Braswell, Lizzie married Nathan Oneal. A small note that a cousin has shared has some information written on it that, "the Sullivans were buried near the "Ivester Farm". We are not sure if there may be a cemetery there somewhere or that they were buried on what is now "private property". We would love to discover the whereabouts of their final resting place. Other families associated are the "Carnahans" Stevenson or Stepherson" "Hubble" "Oneal" and "MCfadden" Should you have any information, please email me at glendalecrazy@aol.com or give me a call at 406-465-5667. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
