Henry AMSDEN (Civil War Vet) died and is
buried in the cemetery north of Dwight, Kansas. Is a copy of his obituary
(1891) available? Mr. BOUGHTON married my great Aunt. He donated land
in Dwight for the railroad. I would like any information available.
BURSCOUGH/BOSCO
Rosemary Riley
(jimandro2007@yahoo.com) 19 July 2008
Recently I found that my Great-Uncle and Great-Aunt John and
Jane BURSCOUGH were buried in Council Grove, Morris, Kansas. On the
internet Google search they appear as John and Jane BOSCO. They were part
of the Mormon Battalion that passed through, though John was not a soldier.
The couple was seeking safe passage to California. In the histories that I
found on the internet, it says that John and Jane died hours apart on the
29th and 28th of Aug 1846. A double grave was made for them on the west
side of the creek with stone walls 7'x10' around them and then filled in
with smaller stones. I was wondering if this grave has ever been located.
I would be most so appreciative of your help.
SWARTZ
Marian Swartz
(mgs924@att.net) 19 July 2008
Buried in Swartz Cemetery, near Dwight, KS
are:
My Great-Great-Great Grandmother,
Anna Mary (VOTLIN) SWARTZ, My Great-Great Grandparents, Martin and Jane (LILLICH)
SWARTZ, and my Great-Great Grandparents, Charles and Maria (SHEARS) CHINN,
(as well as many, many more peripheral relatives/ancestors).
Questions:
1) Is it known where the exact location of the SWARTZ homestead was? Jane
SWARTZ was said to have died in July (6), 1898, and Martin SWARTZ continued
to live there for a time before selling the homestead. He died in 1924 in
Oregon, so he would have sold his homestead between around 1900-1920.
2) Martin SWARTZ deeded/donated 3
acres of his homestead land for the SWARTZ Cemetery, and SWARTZ School
around November 21, 1896...what has finally happened to the SWARTZ School?
Is the building still intact? The last reference I can find about it says
something like "The school was still standing in the 1960's, but was moved
to private farmland from it's original location"...?
3) Are there any known SWARTZ's
living in the Morris County area that are descended from these same
Great-Great Grandparents of mine? If so, how could I go about finding
them?
Thanks for your help in answering any/all of my questions
that you can.

PARRISH...LUCAS
Dan Hatfield
(dheint2006@yahoo.com) 3 July 2008
I'm trying to locate information regarding
two things. First, I know that my Grandfather and Grandmother, George M.
LUCAS and Velma M. PARRISH were married in Morris county around 1912 or 13.
I would like to know if there is a Marriage license or application on file.
(I have a copy of their Marriage certificate). Secondly, Velma lived in Lone
Elm prior to their marriage, and I think there is a strong representation of
PARRISH in Morris county. Is there a list of PARRISH's buried in Morris
county? Additionally, what, if any, other LUCAS families lived in the county
during the early part of the 20th century?
