PERRY born in New York and Addie G. SHARP.

Can anyone help me with a lookup for an adoption? Our family records say that in May 1879, Robert and Esther (SCOTT) CUMMINS adopted Emma JOHNSON (b: 4 March 1879). Emma's father was Adolph JOHNSON, and I assume her parents died. --------------------------------- GLEASON Joyce Moore Young (jyoung325@aol.com) 22 April 2004 My Great-Grandmother was Susanna (KISER) GLEASON, wife of John GLEASON who came to Point View, Kansas in the late 1870s from Pennsylvania.

SHEPHERD who died in Table Rock, Pawnee County in 1916. He was born in Kentucky on 16 August 1835. I believe his body was taken to Gower, Clinton County, Missouri for burial. I believe he lived in Table Rock for several years. His youngest son was born in Lewiston in 1884. Is there a local newspaper that might have printed an obituary? Any information is greatly appreciated. --------------------------------- GOODALE...KING Marie Cook (pepperhead1@cox.net) 25 February 2004 According to the pension papers of Henry Orren GOODALE, he and Elizabeth (KING) GOODALE were divorced in Pawnee County, Kansas on 4 May 1888.

Her father, William Dennis; and mother, Elizabeth, brother, William Marshall, all immigrated to America from England in 1875. The settled in Garfield, Pawnee County, Kansas. I have a Land Patent which shows Jane as owner of land 1878 which was speculative for lumber. Would anyone know who would have an archive of obituaries, or would someone be able to look for Jane's obituary? Also, Elizabeth PORTEOUS died in Garfield, I would like to have a copy of her obituary also, I do have obituaries of William Dennis and William Marshall. --------------------------------- GARTON/GARTEN...PRUETT Pat Morgan (pmorgan@hit.net) 27 January 2004 My Grandfather, John F. GARTON and his wife, Mary PRUETT lived in Larned. I believe they had land in Rozel, Kansas. I am not sure about John W. GARTON. I believe this is my Great-Grandfather, but I am not sure. I found John W. GARTEN in the 1880 census with son John F., but I had information the last name was spelled GARTON. My mother's maiden name was Mary Izora GARTON and was born in Rozel on May 23, 1917. It is my understanding that my Grandfather (perhaps his father) had homesteaded land in Rozel. --------------------------------- KISKADEN Ann Lee (roanle@aol.com) 21 January 2004 KISKADEN, T.

I have found a SANDERS who was a barber. The photo card my Grandfather sent from Great Bend dated 1911 had another man with my Grandfather. Might be another barber or a relative, although the card doesn't say. --------------------------------- ANDREE DeAnna Wright (wright64@kanokla.net) 16 January 2004 Looking for information on the Wm.
