On pages 120, in the story for Caleb and Sidney (WILLIAMSON) BURNS it says, "Caleb Burns, who came to Osawatomie Township in Miami County about 1859, was born in 1808 in Berkeley County, Virginia. He was the son of William BURNS Jr. and Magdalena VAN METER and grandson of William BURNS, immigrant from Scotland., and Johanna VAN METER. Caleb was married November 18, 1820 to Sidney WILLIAMSON. Their children were Susan Mary LEAZENBY BURR*, buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Osawatomie**; Morgan V.; Margaret Jane ROSS; Rachel A. HEATON; Sarah E.; Rhoda W. BELL; Magdalena "Maggie" HUGHES; Lavena R.; and Lorena E. ..." Submitted by Margaret (SHIVELY) SMITH.
* Susan's name in the book is shown as BURR, not BURNS -- could be correct, or a typo, just wanted to point out that it was not a typo on my part. ** I looked in the information I have for this cemetery, hoping to find something more for you, but I did not find anything on Susan as a BURR or a BURNS.
On pages 303, in the story for Waldo W. and Gertrude (WARMOTH) WINSLOW it says, "Waldo Winslow, only son of Carlton S. and Anna Matilda (BOLAR) WINSLOW, was born April 16, 1881, in Atwood, Kansas.

Vol. 3 - "Cemeteries of Miami County, Kansas" - Oakwood Cemetery, located located at 6th and Carr Streets in Osawatomie, KS - Page 155 - The graves are located west of northwest corner Lot 148 - (________) unreadable, (________) unreadable, LEAZENNY, James ____ - Died April 30, 1893 Aged 69y 9m 3d. That would make his birthday 27 July 1823. Unfortunately, there is no more local information about the burial. The cemetery records are non-existant and the funeral home records do not go back that far. There is a possibility of finding some information the the tax records and/or land records, or even the census.
I found also found Wynn, Sadie listed on p. 568-V3 and would like more information. Her parents are also listed: Wynn, Thomas J and Wynn Violet M both on p. 477-V3. I know Thomas and Violet were buried in Paola Cemetery but I am not sure about Sadie.
