BARTLETT
Mary Campbell (mscampbell31@netzero.net)  21 June,2002
 Enos and Mary Abner Bartlett settled in Chetopa KS around 1866 or 1867. No record of Enos death, but Mary died in 1905 in Cherokee County KS and was buried  in the Fairview Cemetery as stated in the local newspaper. We could not locate a stone there, but wondered if at that time if they used something else to mark a grave. Enos died in 1874 June. Also there was a Alice Bartlett born in 1875 but found no
record of that. Nancy Scroggins as a sister of Mary and I am not sure where she died.  Nancy was living close to Mary around the same time 1866=1905.

MURPHY
Rosemary Matzke (Matzke487@aol.com)  09 Feb, 2002
In the 1900 Census Township: Elm Grove, Labette County KS, I found my Great Grandfather Benedict Murphy shown as the City Marshall. Are there any records that show when he left that position or where he went? Are there any records stating where he came from and how long he was there? Who were his parents or any other family?  His wife was shown as Ellen, she was evidently married to a Mr. McKenzie previous to my Great Grandfather because she has two daughters shown  on the 1900 census born in 1885 and 1889. I would assume that she married him in 1884 in KS since both girls were born in KS. She also had brothers or uncles that helped establish the MT. Zion Baptist Church in Labette County.

3 July 1919 Vinita Journal (Craig Co. Oklahoma) newspaper told of death of Deputy Sheriff P. S. TEETERS of Labette County while trying to stop "booze transporters." My Great-Grandfather was John Robert TEETERS of Craig County, OK.  Would like to know the name of parents of P. S. TEETERS .  Is there a newspaper archive in Labette Co.?  Sounds like getting a death certificate to find this information would be difficult since I cannot prove relationship.  Maybe there would be a funeral home with records of 1919???? Would appreciate any help.

HILL
Kenneth Lester (kaleagle@earthlink.net)  11 January 2002
I have been facing the proverbial brick wall in locating the burial site of my Great-Grandmother - Rosa (Rose) HEASTON (HIESTAND/HIESTEND) HILL. She may have been buried in Oak Hill Cemetery which, I believe, is south of Chetopa.  Rosa was born about 1876 in Indiana and died between 1906-1909 in Chetopa. She married Thomas B. HILL.  If I understand the information available, there would probably be no death certificate before 1911 in Kansas, so I am looking for any documents from the cemetery that would identify Rosa more clearly (DOB, DOD, parents, et al).  Any guidance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
