To whom it may concern,
I am seeking information regarding a family living in the east end of
Maryville circa 1960 or 1970 or before. They were dear friends of my
father. I believe their last (surname,) to be Heimer. I remember that
they were a husband -wife team of tailors. My father not only respected
their skills as artisans, but asked them to interpret letters from
hopefully, (remaining family)Germany /Alsace.. Family legend has it that
these letters were written in German, one of two languages which my Father
and Uncle were not aloud to learn. My Father's family had immigrated to the
U.S. with first Ashkenazi wave, ( circa 1850 -1870) They had "assimilated"
a bit before. My Father and Uncle were not permitted learn German or
French, the languages of the centuries old, anti-Semitic Alsace- Lorraine.
My Father knew every Jew, (tiny number, ) in Maryville, Missouri. I am
proud of both my heritage (of which I and my siblings are sure,) and our
handsome, incredible, egalitarian Father. A TRUE Renaissance man with a
modest and unassuming character. Is there any info re: the Heimer family in
Maryville, Mo.? Any help in the finding gains our eternal and familial
gratitude. Please respond at: helenryan@fuse.net.


 
Would like to correspond with any related to the following:

I have an interest in the Gentrys; Ellis';and the Brittains in Nodaway early history  They came from the Carolina supposedly together and should be descendents of Allen Gentry and Sarah (Sally) Brittain.
Also on the other side of my line I have a Heddrick connection moving from the Carolinas to Illinois about 1835.  A Thomas Hampton Davis Married Nancy Evoline Heddrick.  Some of the Heddricks moved to Missouri supposedly. The original Mr.Heddrick is said to have lived to be 103.
Does any of this fit any of your names?
regards and thank you for any feedback.

  From Pat: These people have written about burials in the Cain Cemetery. I have a copy of the Cain cemetery that I did and one that the county group did later, both of us list only the one tombstone in Cain cemetery for Cordill. James D. son of J. & V. Cordill, died Jan 18, 1868 11 months and 10days. Isom Cordill and a couple of his daughters are on the county list as buried without tombstones. Can anyone produce obits or any evidence about whether these people are buried in the Cain Cemetery?? Pat

 

Dear Pat,

  
    Regarding the Cain Cemetery, I haven't tried finding it yet but was told that it is in someone's field!  There should be quite a number of the "Cordill Clan" buried in that cemetery such as:

1.  James Cordill, son of Wm. (brother to Isom & John)  Jul 1830-1 Dec 1886

2.  Elizabeth Cordill Hand, daughter of Wm. Cordill  Mar 1827-6 Jan 1909

3.  Nancy Ann Cordill Cordill, daughter of Wm. Cordill  30 Mar 1832-19 Aug 1910

4.  Rufus Morgan Cordill  16 Feb 1823-9 Aug 1911

5.  Melvina Hand Malone, daughter of Eliz. Cordill Hand  1855-8 Mar 1885

6.  Manerva Hand Shell, daughter of Eliz. Cordill Hand  1863-May 1888

7.  William Cordill, brother to Isom and John

8.  Isom Cordill

And there are probably more, but don't know about them!!  I, too, was hoping to find headstones of these people.

Must close for now.

Hi Pat
 
My name is Margaret Greer and I live near Liverpool in England.
 
My great grandmother's brother Joseph Close emigrated to US in 1870 and settled in Dale, Atchison after his marriage in 1876.  He returned to England after the death of his wife Hannah Winter Close in 1910 and is buried in Westmorland, England
 
He raised his family of 6 children in Dale and it appears that some of his children and grandchildren remained in Atchison and surrounding counties until they died.
 
I have letters describing their day to day lives between 1910 and 1914 in Dale and Skidmore, Nodaway Co.
 
I'm very keen to find Joseph's descendants in US.
 
Someone on the Rootsweb MOATCHISON mailing list sent me the following extracts from the 'Gone but not forgotten'  book and I'm wondering if any of your volunteers has access to obituary notices for the later deaths * which could lead me to their living families
 
In Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Clark Township (Section 26, Township 64, Range
40), which is a mile and a half southeast of Fairfax, Atchison County,
Missouri, there are:

Howard Cecil Close - b. Feb. 27, 1913 - d. May 22, 1919 - age 6 yr - son of
Jarvis H. & Lena Brunk Close

Jarvis H. Close - b. 1882 - d. Nov. 26, 1918 - w. Lena Brunk Close

*Lena Brunk Close - b. Jan 12, 1882 - d. Jan 5, 1963 - h. Jarvis H. Close -
dau. of Henry Brunk

In Walkup Grove Cemetery, Dale Township (Section 35, Township 64, Range 39),
which is 7 miles east and 1 mile south of Fairfax, Atchison County,
Missouri, there are:

An unmarked grave on the Joseph Close lot

Beatrice H. Close - b. Sept 30, 1878 - d. July 21, 1934 - age 56 yr - h.
Charles William Close - dau. of Edward & Jane Tyson Huggins

Charles Ernest Close - b. Jan. 21, 1915 - d. Apr. 12, 1918

*Charles William Close - b. 1885 - d. May 29, 1966 - age 80 yr - w. Beatrice
H. Huggins - son of Anthony & Anna Lord Close   Charles William is the son of Joseph Close's brother Anthony who returned to England in 1896 and died in 1900.  It appears that Charles stayed in the US with his relatives whereas his US born brother and sister are living with their mother in England on the 1901 census and died in the UK

Hanna Winter Close - b. 1852 - d. 1910 - h. Joseph Close (buried in England)

Infant Close - d. 1885 - buried on the Joseph & Hanna Winter Close lot
 
I've also found deaths of the following who were Joseph and Hannah's daughter in law and grandchildren:
 
Hattie Mae Lawrence Close died April 2 1960 at Fairfax and is buried at the Tharp Memorial cemetery, Holt Co
 
Sarah Evelyn Close ( New) died Jan 23 1994 at Fairfax and buried at Tharp
 
Lawrence Richard Close ( "Beany") died July 24 1992 at Maryville, Nodaway Co and buried at Quitman cemetery, Atchison Co. He married Edna Graves in 1936. 
 
I'm happy to pay any costs involved and would appreciate any help you can give me.
 
Many regards

 I am looking for Smiths from New York, my Nodaway ancestors are Emory Smith and son Fremont found in the 1870 census and the information in that census is all I have to work with....so I'm hoping to find a clue somewhere in the neighborhood.  (Fremont Smith married Eve Ann Sharp on Dec 6 in 1882 at  Quitman Missouri...she was the daughter of Daniel Sharp born in 1825 in Orange Co North Carolina, he is found in the 1860 census of Nodaway. Eve Ann's brother Monroe married Fremont's sister Delphena) I've had good luck researching Sharps but my Smiths are a rock solid brick wall. Your efforts on my behalf are sincerely appreciated, Leah Tourond : ltourond@nqis.ca
 
 Dear Pat--

This is regarding the "Nodaway County Missouri Marriages (incomplete)"
information I found at <.rootsweb.com/~monodawa/marriages/> in August 2004.

One of the listed marriages is Thomas Bohannan & Gracy Wood,09 May
1860.

Based on notes I have from conversations and correspondence among Bohannon
relatives (including Thomas' granddaughter) in 1923-32, and what I have found
in recent searches of Missouri census records, it appears that Thomas actually
married Gracy Ann Good on the date you give (or one day later).

Since I am working from indirect evidence and 2nd-hand information rather than
primary records, I could be wrong.Below are 6 citations that together support
the idea that Gracie's maiden name was "Good."

[1] letter: Grace Bohannan Durrett to [Margaret (Jones) Conley?] [Source#8],
approx. 1932 with [later?] notes by Margaret
A pencil note on the letter shows "Gracy Ann Good" as (1) the wife of Thomas
Bohannan; and (2) the mother of William Tilman Bohannan.
[Grace Bohannan Durrett was a/the child of William Tilman Bohannan. I have
only the part of Grace's letter that Margaret kept so I don't know for
sure that the letter was addressed to Margaret.]

[2] letter: Mrs. Edward D. [Margaret Jones] Conley to Miss Agnes Lee Smith
[Source#7], 22 August 1932 with [later?] notes by Margaret.
The letter describes "Gracy Ann" as (1) the wife of Thomas B; and (2) the
mother of William Tillman Bohannan.
[I have Margaret's carbon copy of the letter.]

[3] census: 1850 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, [image at
<freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mackley/Mo1850Jpegs/Nodaway/Nodaway50__P371.jpg>,
6 Sep 2004].
The census page shows that "Gracy A Good" (age 12) and Samuel (16),
Richard (14), Charles (11), William (8), & Joseph (6) Good were living with
Samuel (38, household head), Grace (35), Thomas (8), Nathan (6), & Emily J
(4) Roberts, and John Marion (11), in Nodaway cnty, Missouri.

[4] census: 1860 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, pg 59, [microfilm #803637, at
LDS Family History Center, Oakland, CA, 19 Aug 2004].
The census page shows that"Gracy Bohanan" (age 22) was living with
Thomas Bohanan (24, household head), near the Pertilla Bohanan and
Perdine Bohanan families, at Graham, Nodaway cnty, Missouri.

[5] census: 1870 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, Series M593, Roll 795, pg 551
[image at <persi.heritagequestonline.com>, 11 Oct 2004].
The census page shows that "Grace A Bohannon" (age 30, household head)
was living with William T Bohannon (6) & William S Good (27), in Hughs twp,
Nodaway cnty, Missouri.

[6] census: 1880 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, Hughs tnshp, p 44A, [transcript
of Fam Hist Lib film #1254706 at <www.familysearch.org>, 25 Aug 2004].
The transcript says that "Gracie Bohanan" (age 40, household head) was living
with her son (William T Bohannon, 16) & her brother (William S Good, 35), in
Hughs twp, Nodaway cnty, Missouri.
