I am very interested in any information concerning the family of Richard

Harrison Trueblood from Yates Center, Woodson County, KS.  Richard Trueblood married Jessie M.

Hulsey on April 9, 1913, in Wichita, Kansas. The only child I am aware of is Richard Hulsey

Trueblood, b. abt 1914. Richard H. Trueblood was the editor of the Yates Center News newspaper

in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  He died sometime around 1936.  His wife, Jessie M. Hulsey 

Trueblood is the sister of my husband's grandfather, Walter A. Hulsey.  Jessie's mother,

Eliza A. Hulsey Goldsborough lived with Richard and Jessie in Yates Center in 1920,

according to the census.  I am very interested in any information concerning where Richard and 

Jessie Trueblood and Eliza A. Goldsborough is buried.  If anyone has any information I would

greatly appreciate it.

I am looking for information on the Harris or Hern family who I believe

came to Woodson County sometime in the mid 1850's to 1860's from Missouri.

Two Harris young men and their sister moved to Woodson County from

Missouri, having first come with their mother and another brother to Missouri from Madison 

Co., Ky.   Don't know if she came to Kansas later than the children but she is said

to be buried in Yates Center.  I don't know the date of her death but she was born approx.1810 

in Ky and was alive in 1860 in Randolph Co. Mo.  Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
