I was born in Iola, Ks and grew up living in LeRoy, Ks and graduated from high school there. I moved to Burlington, Ks after graduating high school. I have lived in Coffey County Kansas all of my life. I have many relatives buried in this county and in many of the cemeteries including: Altamont in Aliceville, LeRoy cemetery, Crandall cemetery, Quisling cemetery, St. John Lutheran cemetery, Logue cemetery, the Apostolic cemetery north and west of Gridley, Graceland cemetery, String town cemetery and Pleasant Hill cemetery in Concordia, KS,several around Garnett, KS including the Garnett cemetery, Greeley cemetery, Osawatomie cemetery. There are several relatives in Longmont and Boulder, CO. I am slowly getting all of my family put in Find a Grave.
I am very much interested in my families genealogy and that interest began in 1996 with a book on the Orphan Train movement. My paternal grandmother and two of her brothers came to Kansas on an Orphan train in 1911 from New York. I continue to search for relatives of hers from New York.
The families that I continue to search are Hill, Strawder, Barnow, Slinkard, Tice, Shaffer, Fisher, Stutz and Futrell.
