J. Vernon Drake
Lydia Daniels Drake
Michelle,
We have emailed each other in the past, and I thought you might want to see this information.

My records, which may be incorrect, shows that Lydia was living with her youngest daughter, Christina Drake Skinner (indexed as Shinnor) in the 1870 US Census of Leclede, Co., Missouri.

In the obituary for Christina, it states that she was the last survivor of a family of 13 children. I have identified 12 of the 13 children of Jordan and Lydia Daniels Drake they were: John, Sarah, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Jesse, Almira, Anna, William, Lydia, Mahala, Adelia, and Christina.

I do not know when or where Lydia Daniels Drake died and was buried, but she was alive in 1870. Her daughter, Lydia, died before 1867, but she was married to Isaac S. Lewis and they lived in Newman, Douglas County, Illinois so I don't think that she would have been buried in the Onargo Cemetery.

RE: Hayes Family - Monroe Cemetery
Michelle, A couple of things...... Do you want me to transfer the record of Eliza Hayes to you that I created. I didn't have time to find an obituary or figure out which children belonged to her and which ones belonged to William's first wife Sadonia S. Harding. I found a birth record for Sadonia S. Harding, daughter of John S. Harding and Sarah M. Clemmons, born 22 Dec 1826 in Barren County, KY. Also a marriage record of William Henry Hayes to Sadonia S. Harding on 15 July 1845 in Barren County, KY. It also gives the birth of William as 22 July 1824. I found that William died in Imogene on 30 April 1898. On the 1850 Census, Barren, KY, William and Sadonia were together with 2 children William H. (3) and John J. C. (2). On the 1860 Cass County, Illinois, they are living with a George Hayes (24), probably a brother to William, and have William H (14), John C. (12), Sodona (9), Louisa (3) and Mildred (1). In 1870 Monroe, Fremont County, Iowa, William now has Eliza with children Louisa (14), Filmore (11), Kate (9) and Franklin (4). 1880, Imogene, Fremont County, Iowa, William and Eliza have Wesley (9), Charles (6), James (4), and Ida May (2). I'm not sure what happened to Sadonia or where she is buried. You probably have this information but thought I would pass it along just in case. Please let me know if I can be of further help.

RE: Hayes Family - Monroe Cemetery
Michlle, You are more than welcome. I will go ahead and add what information I found for Eliza Hayes, William's second wife. Really need to find an obituary for her to determine if she actually ended up buried in Monroe Cemetery but everything I found points to the fact she was. I also have additional information I found on the Hayes family but don't know if you have it or not. Please let me know the best way to pass it along. I don't have the authority to add it to the Find A Grave memorials so thought it best to pass it on to you and then you can determine what, if any of it you want to add.

Hayes Family - Monroe Cemetery
Michelle, I was finally able to make a quick trip to Monroe Cemetery outside Imogene. I did find several of the Hayes tombstones and filled the Find A Grave requests. One of the stones actually has William O. on the West side, an "Infant" on the North side, Birdie on the East side, and Stella and Maud on the South side. You might check the death date on the "Infant" Hayes....I think the tombstone says Oct 19 instead of Oct 18. Also found an Eliza E. Hayes, born October 9, 1844 listed on the front of William Henry Hayes tombstone. No death date is listed. My guess is that she is a daughter. I added a record for her in the cemetery so she could at least be tracked in some way. A couple of the the other Hayes, Myrtle and Ollie are listed but don't have tombstone pictures. I will try to find them but the fellow who takes care of the cemetery doesn't have hardly any records of who is buried where. :( Anyway hope this helps. Have a great new year.
