Bio and Links
Bio Photo I was born in Morgan County, Mo, down the road from Hopewell Cemetery. From the days of my first memory, my grandparents and parents took me to visit the little grave yards in Morgan county. I played among the stones and listened to the remembrances of the family who lay beneath, whose souls soared above. As my parents said, "Now is the time to honor their memories, lest we should neglect to repeat who they were and how much they changed their little corner of the world." As a pebble drops and changes it's place, it also creates it's own space and so have the pioneers who carved out a place and changed the world forever." Morgan County is full of people whose ancestors migrated from the East and became one with the land. They were great pioneers whose ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, in the Civil War on both sides and the World Wars l and ll. My goal is to honor as many as I can.

I have lived all over the US and traveled abroad. I have five children,ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

I am a DAR member, Museum Guild member, Bay Area Genealogical Society member, Morgan County Museum Society member,and I do cemetery restoration. I also transcribe and take pictures of cemeteries. I am working on a book for Family History.

I have more than one copy of all the pictures I have posted so if I can help anyone by sending them a picture, please let me know? I also have death certificates on many and family information.
I love helping other researchers and posters but if you use my info or pictures from my posts please cite me as the source. It causes researchers to hit blank walls when they don't have original sources and it is also considered plagerism and is an ethics issue. Thank you so much.

RE: Floyd Hanie
Are you familiar with the Russellville cemetery?

All three Hanie are on the same stone. It is in the back of the cemetery at the edge of the woods slightly to the right from the gate. I have a picture of the backside of the stone looking towards the gate, if you want it. The back of the stone reads "Children of JH & EJ Hanie". I'm calling it the back of the stone, because it faces the woods. But the stone is loose and could have been rotated.

The stone is also listed under "Burying Ground at Russellville" in a book of Cole County cemeteries inventoried in 1930, but the listing only has the engraving of the back of the stone not the other three sides.

RE: Myrtle Hughes
Bonnie,
I have 3rd great grandparents, Scott and Phoebe (Bailey) Hughes buried in Freedom Cemetery in Morgan County, MO. When I visited the cemetery in 2011 I saw Myrtle's grave and thought she might be related so I took the photo and added the memorial to find-a-grave. It turns out that I can't place her in my family tree. I would be more than happy to transfer management of this memorial to you. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Jack
