Does anyone know who takes care of this cemetery today? I was out there not long ago and there has been some new graves put in there.I would like to find out to see if there is a list somewhere of who is buried there. It is located North of Weber and just east of the old school house. It has the name of Valley View Cemetery.Thank you.

My Name is Robert Eugene Vaughn,
I understand that my Father,Lloyd Irving Vaughn,was from Esbon. His father was the local newspaper person. I also understand that I had an Aunt who was named "Bert" Sink and they were wheat farmers.
I see in the listing of surnames that neither Sink or Vaughn are listed. Would someone there be able to point me in the proper direction so I might research my family history there.
Thank you,
Bob Vaughn

We are interested in sharing information on the FINN, FISHER and QUICK families who lived in the Lovewell and Formosa areas. The Finns and Quicks came from Pennsylvania and the Fishers from Canada via Michigan. We recently visited Jewell County and found some of our family in the Laurel Hill Cemetery near Lovewell. We took lots of digital pictures in that cemetery and several others.

Topic: Margaret McGuffey
From: Kathy Coe kcoe99@yahoo.com

A puzzle concerning Jewell County is as follows:
Edgington, Illinois (Rock Island Co.) Sept 28, 1881
Mrs McGuffey left here on Monday last for Jewell County, Kansas, where , it is said that she will become a bride. The intended groom is a youth of 60 or more summers, and was an old settler of this place for more than 20 years, but for the last ten years he has lived in Kansas.
The Daily Argus Thursday, Sept 29, 1881 page 4 column 5.
Margaret was born ca. 1834 in Scotland, and was the widow of William McGuffey. There were two children Jesse H. (f) and John B. I have checked the marriage records but didn't have any luck. I would like the name of the groom if possible, where they may have lived and died.
Appreciate some help on this challenge. Best Wishes, Kathy Coe

I am researching William Davis KINKEAD, 1819-1903, and his wife Emily, 1820-1901, who lived in Jewell County, Kansas, in 1881, according to his father's estate. I don't know when they arrived or left, but they came from Boone Co, IA, after 1869, and were buried in Pottawattamie Co, IA. They buried four children in Boone and their surviving daughter, Dora, settled in or near Council Bluffs with her husband, Chester Clark.
Many thanks in advance,
Richard N Kinkead
