Queries: DATE: 31 JANUARY 2018 NAME: David Howard SUBJECT: Death Record - Esther Knight I have a question about Pottawatomie Co. death records. Would any death records exist for the year 1879? I have a grandmother who died in Pottawatomie Co. in 1879. She was Esther Knight & was living with her son David Knight at the time of her death. DATE: 31 JANUARY 2018 NAME: Steve Scully SUBJECT: George C Welsh I’m trying to find some criminal or prisoner records for my great grandfather, George C. Welsh. George was one of the many black sheep in our family. I have a newspaper account of his arrest for destroying the newspaper offices of the St. Mary Journal in Wamego, Kansas, in June, 1896. It seems George became disillusioned with the St. Mary Journal over its reporting of taverns operating in the area without the proper permits. The following August, George was additionally charged with maintaining a bar/tavern without a permit. In the 1900 census, George is listed as a “prisoner” in the Rock Creek Township, Pottawatimie, Kansas. I’m assuming he was incarcerated on the charges above and spent sometime in custody as a guest of the Kansas taxpayers. I was hoping to find information on where he was held prisoner and any associated records of his incarceration. I didn’t know where to begin to look for such records or if they even exist from that time period. George C. Welsh Born 1863 in Iowa Married to Mary Effie Isenhart in St. Mary’s Kansas Daughter, Willa Belle Welsh born in St. Mary’s, Kansas August 4, 1888 Please let me know if you need any additional information.

DATE: 7 NOVEMBER 2013 NAME: Julie Hatesohl SUBJECT: Caretakers/Contacts for Pottawatomie County Cemeteries After several years of maintaining this site, I get so many queries asking me if I know who to contact for the various Pottawatomie County Cemeteries.

DATE: 6 NOVEMBER 2013 NAME: Suzie Fayard SUBJECT:Gene Branton Purcel Randel I am trying to discover my grandfathers biological parents. His mother died when he was a baby and his mothers sister and her husband adopted him. His name was Gene Brant Randel and he was born in Kansas. You have him listed as Gene Branton Purcel Randel. Purcel was the unknown fathers last name according to my father (Stephen Brant Randel). Floyd and Della Belle Randel agreed to adopt my grandpa since Mr. Purcel felt he could not care for a baby on his own. Della’s maiden name was Gray and her younger sister Bessie Gray was, we believe, his biological mother. My father also said that Mr. Purcel’s first name may have been Don but he was not positive on that. I’ve tried searching the various ancestry sites but have been unable to find any other references to Purcel AND Bessie or Gene that fits. He was not born yet for the 1920 census and by 1930 he had already been adopted. I am looking for information on either Bessie Gray or a Purcel that might fit this scenario?
