Bio and Links
Bio Photo My husband Melvin* and I have been active in our own family genealogies for about 35 years and active in Sumner County, Kansas history and genealogy for almost 30 years. His roots are in the Milan area and mine in the Conway Springs area. We read, recorded and made books for the Milan Cemetery, the Spring Hill Cemetery and the Amish Cemetery in 2000, the Conway Springs Cemetery and the St. Joseph Cemetery in 2002, and the Mulvane Cemetery in 2005. We also enjoy doing lookups from the many transcriptions and databases we have done regarding Sumner County history and families.
His surnames are SHAFER, SPACE, WATKINS, HALEY, SMITH, WARNER, BUCKINGHAM, DILL, FULLER, PUTMAN.
My surnames are ORR, STINSON, THORP, KNIFFEN, BEST, BALL, SCOFIELD, AUBLE, WALKER, NICHOLS.
I welcome being contacted about any errors found in the records I've posted and I will be happy to transfer ownership of memorials to those who are family members (or closer family members) of the deceased.
*Melvin passed away on April 7, 2009, so I'll be carrying on by myself now. Our first date was on his 15th birthday in 1947 and we were married on May 28, 1950.

Hi, just wanted to mention that I am not able to see your photo's for Agnes M. Melander and others, not sure why, thought maybe you would check to see if it is me or if something is wrong. My computer acts up, so could just be me.
Regards, Roxanne

RE: Carl Duncan tombstone
I can check with the City Office. If that were listed on the Cemetery page it might help others.

She died in Wichita, Sedgewick, KS, USA so I can look there as well. It's just another one of those oddities...

Are you from this line. I think all Wyckoff's spelled many ways, are. He is my 8th great grandfather. One of his grandkids is Harvey S. Firestone of the tire co.

RE: Jennie Ingram, Milan Cemetery
That is correct. Jennie (Mary Jane) Ingram's mother was Sarah Souders, who died sometime before May 31, 1880.
