Maybe you can clear this up for me. Are these the same James and Lucy
Thompson from 1880 to 1900? If not it sure is coincidental that they
lived so close to each other, same name for spouses, birthdates, and
birthplaces.

(This is a copy of A letter I received back from Virginia Antonio ( I
think she told me her grandfather 's sister Lucy Blake married a James
M. Thompson.)

Dear Linda,
Finally getting around to write. I have very limited material for
Thompson family so I'm sending what I have.
You certainly sent lots of imformation and pictures are invaluable.
The Thompson's listed on the 1900 MO. Soundex are the same family
listed on the 1880 Christian Co., MO. Cencus.
Sarah (Sallie C. ) Brake is buried in Palmetto Cemetery. Legend has
it she wanted to be buried with her Granddaughter Marcy/Macy. Sarah's
husband, Axum Bennett Brake is buried in Union Grove Cemetery, Douglas
Co., Mo.
A Late distant cousin told me that Martha L. Brake, Sister of Lucy
Brake Thompson, married a Hooper but so far I haven't found a marriage
record for her. Our library doesn't have a very large material for Greene
Co., Mo and surrounding counties. They say we're too close to those
counties.
The Atkins surname is new to me so I have nothing for them. When I
ever get back to doing research I'll see what I can locate, although I
don't believe I will have much luck there.
I wrote to Alma Cooper, daughter of Doaley R. Thompson and she
stated she knew nothing about the family and wasn't interested in it. She
did give the following:

James M. Thompson was born August 9, 1851 and died December 15,
1927
Lucy was born March 1, 1855 and died September 1937
Both are buried in Palmetto Cemetery, Green County, Missouri

I wish I could be of more help to you.
My husband, Orlando, and I have 2 sons Michael and Paul and both
live out of state. We met in Kansas City he was going to school and I was
working as a secretary. He is from Pennsylvania. Iowa is my home state
although I have lived in Oregon since then. Dad became ill while we were
in Oregan and we came by and he only lived a few weeks: he died at age 55
in 1941 and mother died in 1961. There are five of us sisters living from
a family of 8 and we're scattered all over. This is a quick run down of
the family.
Much success to you and when and if I can locate anything further I
will send and it was very nice to talk with you.
Until next time, best wishes.

Virginia

I could not find Palmetto, Missouri in our Atlas. I decided this was
either A Ghost town or a town name changed. I just had to find out where
they were talking about. I went to the library at historical building and
found in the OZAR'KIN Vol. II, No. 3, Fall 1980 A DIRECTORY of TOWNS,
VILLAGES and HAMLETS PAST and PRESANT of GREENE COUNTY, MISSOURI (P-Y)

Compiled by Arthur Paul Moser

PALMETTO:
Palmetto, at one time, was a thriving community. It consisted of stores,
a post-office, a school, and several dwellings. When Logan-Rogersville
School Consolidated District was formed, eight school districts,
including Palmetto were merged. The post-office was discontinued and mail
was via Springfield. In 1963, only the cemetery remained; a few people
lived nearby.
---Rand, McNally, 1919: talk with Mrs Fred Austin. It was situated at
Sec. 11, Twp. 28 N, Range 20 West, south of Highway D, on the first road
east of 125 near Webester C. line.

In July of 1996 I visited Palmetto Cemetery. It is located on
Highway 60 west of Rogersville and east of Springfield.You turn on a farm
road 243 ( they are all labled ) North and keep going till you hit the
railroad tracks. There is no town anymore but a farm house is near by.
The cemetery says Palmetto Cemetery. I did forget to look for Sarah
"Sally Brake. I did jot down some other headstones that I thought might
be relatives for future referances.
