**TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION**

My count is unbalanced because I maintain many memorials for contributors no longer on Find a Grave.
I am more than happy to work with others to help family members have their memorials from THESE listings. Most will be transferred.
NO BULK TRANSFERS

I put a great deal of time into creating many of these memorials and adding the gravestone pictures and historical information to them from Park Cemetery. Many of them are early day pioneer citizens and the listings are becoming a good reference base for the history of the residents of Carthage, Jasper county, Missouri.

I am continually researching the pages I've created and often find more things to add to my pages.
So unless the listings are your direct relatives, why bother to request a transfer? I add links and information so send whatever you have to me.
Click HERE to read Find a Grave policy to see whether your request qualifies for my personal listings. Please include the memorial number when requesting links.
I am more than happy to have anyone add their personal photos of people on pages

Please do not use chalk, flour, chemicals etc when taking your grave photos.

A memorial that is really special to me is for Josh Baker. Please stop by and read his experience of heroism and leave a flower. My appreciation to Sharon Williams for sponsoring this page.

"The country newspaper is truly a family record. It proclaims your marriage, it announces the birth of your children, it gives the obituary notice of a loved one of your family. It not only gives your family record, but the family record of your neighbors. Many do not realize the benefit their home paper is to them."
The Newton County News August 14, 1890


DO NOT use the message board for sending information or transfer requests. That is not what it is for. I WILL NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS, LINKS OR TRANSFERS FROM MESSAGES LEFT ON THE BOARD.

PLEASE USE THE EDIT TAB on the upper right side of the memorials, then choose the Suggest a Correction feature for transfers or to add information and links.

From the former shirley32olson@yahoo.com, now cammygrammy99@yahoo.com.

I am not still actively transcribing cemeteries and changed my E-mail address a while back to get rid of the nuisance messages. I wasn't thinking about losing my place in the Findagrave records and also at Rootsweb, it didn't occur to me. I also lost all my contacts so it was a big headache.

If you were messaging for a specific reason other than the name change please respond. If you know how to get my cemeteries changed over to my new E-mail I would appreciate it.

Peter Hill thanks and a question
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for this piece of information about Peter's 2nd wife. I didn't know, but have now added information to my family tree. As always, I appreciate your efforts and work.

My question is actually to pick your brain a bit about Carthage/Jasper Co records. Do you know where I could search for wills? I'd like to try to find one for Lydia Gaylord Hess Montague, Peter's wife's mother. I'm trying to find documentation for Lydia being the mother of Byron Hess/wife of Dioclesian and hoping that she might have a will naming her children/grandchildren.

I found on-line that the county historical society has the first book of wills recorded/transcribed. But Lydia died in 1886, so if there is a will it would be in book 2 or 3, which they don't seem to have gotten to yet. Or, if you can recommend someone who would do a little research for me, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks, again,
Laura

Regarding Helen Chickering
Thanks, Nancy. I think that the removal of Bob, from the husband list, was the right decision. I more than likely would have heard about that marriage, as I was close to Chester's mother and her family. Bob Cummingss would have been big news. Thanks for the update. Gary
