Any help will be appreciated. ----------------------------------------- DAVID...WOOD Laura Wood (davlaura@earthlink.net) 8 October 2000 I am looking for Uriah WOOD, b: 1841 in Owen County, Kentucky.

WELLER, wife, and family from Missouri to Pawnee and Barton Counties. Some of the family returned to Missouri and Ohio. Fred went to California and Oklahoma. May have been in land run to Oklahoma. ----------------------------------------- PYLE John Pyle (gomomma@pacbell.net) 18 September 2000 Looking for any information on Alice PYLE, known to be living in Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas in 1957. She had a sister, Lois (PYLE) IRONS and three known brothers; Carl A. PYLE of Salina, Kansas; Albert S. PYLE of Wichita, Kansas; and Clarence F. PYLE of Winfield.

His widow was Octavia (WRIGHT) WEBSTER, b: October 6, 1825 in Indiana; died in Pawnee, Pawnee County, Kansas in 1912. I would like to find out where she is buried and locate an obituary, in order to find out about their children. Their children were: John WEBSTER, b: August 1850; Mary Manasha WEBSTER; Sarah Louisa WEBSTER and George Cleber WEBSTER. Is there anyone that might be able to tell me about this family? I'd like to know about Aaron WEBSTER's parents too. ----------------------------------------- AMMERMAN Rachel Bitler (rachelbitler@hotmail.com) 28 August 2000 I am looking for information about members of the AMMERMAN family who lived in Pawnee County in the late 1800's. ----------------------------------------- SNOW...PECK...FUNNELL...KEENEY Marie Schroeder (mcschroeder@willmar.com) 31 July 2000 I am looking for the surnames: SNOW, PECK, FUNNELL, KEENEY. My Great-Great-Grandfather was Harvey SNOW, possibly a civil war veteran, but not found on the Kansas 1883 pensioners list. One source had "GAR" behind his name; he would have served from Wisconsin. His second wife was Caroline PECK; her obituary says they lived in Kansas 1877-1891, then moved to Iowa, where both are buried. Apparently they also returned to Kansas once, between 1891 and 1894, for a three month visit, but a location is not mentioned. Caroline had PECK children from her first marriage, one FUNNELL Granddaughter married in Pawnee Rock to a KEENEY in 1879. There was a KEENEY who was Sheriff in Pawnee County, so that's why I think these people were in Pawnee County, plus I can't find them in Barton County. Harvey SNOW was a farmer, with land records in Vermont where he was born, and in Wisconsin where he lived before Kansas. I have a suspicion some ancestors and their connected families were in Pawnee County from about 1877-1891, but at this point I don't know for sure. For instance, where or who has the G.A.R. records? Is there anyone who could check land records for that time, or censuses? ----------------------------------------- EWELL Joe Ewell (yule@swbell.net) 6 July 2000 I am searching for information on my Grandfather, Clinton Fisk EWELL. He was born in Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas on September 9, 1888. I have contacted a number of sources, in search of any information relating to a ecord of birth. The Pawnee County Clerk's office does not have such a record, neither does the Larned City Clerk's office. The Larned Library had no such record. At the Kansas State Historical Society, a lady named 'Cynthia' expressed the possibility that maybe the "Larned Chronoscope" (L95) or the "Larned Daily Chronoscope" (NP1943) might have some announcement of his birth. I am currently in the process of obtaining these microfilms through a local library. If anybody has access to any information on my Grandfather, other than what is in these microfilm records, please contact me as soon as possible. Anything will be greatly appreciated. ----------------------------------------- MILLER Kim Miller (kimmermil@juno.com) 15 June 2000 I am looking for information on the mother and father of Earl MILLER, born 14 October 1899, Great Bend, Kansas and died 4 May 1936 in Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas. His father was Warren MILLER, his mother's name is unknown. ----------------------------------------- DETWILER Donald Detwiler (dondetwiler@hotmail.com) 9 June 2000 I am looking for information about my Great-Grandfather, George Marion DETWILER and his wife, Catherine Ann and his brother, John H. DETWILER and his wife, Adelia, who were in Pawnee County in the mid to late 1880's. According to the family, George Marion DETWILER claimed a quarter of land in Pawnee County but had to move due to lack of fuel to cook and heat. ----------------------------------------- THOMPSON...HUDDLESON DJENK49754@aol.com 22 April 2000 Seeking to exchange information on Washington THOMPSON and Francis HUDDLESON. Both resided in Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas about 1880-1885. I believe they moved to Larned from Scott/Morgan Counties, Illinois. Census information would be great, if anyone has access to 1880-1890. ----------------------------------------- LITSEY Doris French (rpfrench@rconnect.com) 6 April 2000 I would be interested to hear from anyone who would have any information about the Henry M. LITSEY family. He was born 1853 and died 1913 in Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas. He lived on Frye St. in Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas. He was my Grandfather, so am anxious to find out more about him and his family. My mother was Una LITSEY, who grew up there. ----------------------------------------- WINTEER John & B. D.

Her name was Minnie Idella (ROLLIN) WARD. She died in a Larned State Mental Hospital. I would like to know if there is any cemeteries in or around Larned, Kansas.
