I noted that a Martha A. Miller is listed in your cemetery index(47-V3) Any specific information would be helpful, such as birth and death dates, maiden name, and any other pertinent information.
Based on this information, I would check the Civil War pension records. Martha is very likely to be mentioned and very likely to have recieved a widow's pension.
Since you are researching both surnames, I thought we might exchange information. My mother, believes that William Demo's, wife, mother of Addie, was a native american, but we are having trouble finding pertinentinformation.
The family line is confusing since they were all married at least twice. Other names in the story seem to be Masters, Reame, Grother.
I am also interested in finding the obit's for these. I have seen a copy of Mina and Fred J (Fredrick Joseph) but I did not know which paper they came from. There was also an article about Fredrick and his bakery, not an obit, but an article about his death from the paper. Apparently he was well known in the area at that time. Also Frederick had a bakery/restaurant downtown? during the 20's-30's He died in 1937. Mina, his mother died in 1942.
In reference to newspaper articles, I would suggest that you check the microfilm newspaper indexes for Paola and order the appropriate rolls. You can find the indexes on the Miami Co. GenWeb site.
A photograph of the 1958 Miami County Extension Advisory Committee on p. 26 of Family Histories and Stories of Miami Co., KS, includes Mrs. Fred Kohler [shown as written]. Additional material about this family can be found in "The History of Our Cradleland, particularly p 65 and pp 77-79.
This information is from the book Cemeteries of Miami County, Kansas, Volume II, published by the Miami County Genealogy Society. Page 32, which is for the Hillsdale Old Marysville Cemetery, located about 1 1/2 miles West & 3/4 miles North of the town of Hillsdale, Miami County, KS lists the following HOLLOWAYs: J.M. -- At Rest b. November 27, 1823, d. May 10, 1896, Martha -- Wife of J.M., b. February 6, 1826 d. December 24, 1898
I would be interested in making contact with any descendants of Curtis and Frances FINCH. I have some details for his ancestors, and most of thedetails for their daughter Delia's descendants.
I am also looking for two "lost" children who appear as numbers on the 1900 census, not knowing their names, I would be interested in finding out if any of the following individuals are children: Asher, Annie M. 198-V3; Asher, J. H. 520-V3; Asher, Emily 606-V3; Asher, Luke 606-V3; Asher, James Henry 677-V3.
Page 440, which is for Oak Grove Addition (Southern Half) of the Paola City Cemetery, Paola, Miami Co., KS, lists the following HENDERSONs: Louisa, wife of F.P. HENDERSON, b. February 13, 1836 d. November 1, 1889. It is noted that the verse on the headstone is only partly readable. There is no listing indicating that F.P. is buried here.
