51	I Have a picture of Maggie's headstone in Montana from Janie's scrap book. Maybe this is why Hershel Joined the army so young . On the Missouri Soundex ( code H160 ), Vol 34, ED 58, Sheet 9, Line 100, in Green County, Washington TWP. George Hooper was born May 1874 / 26 years old / born in Missouri Maggie Hooper was born November 1876 / 24 years old / born in Missouri Hershel Hooper / Son / born September 1899 / one year old / born in Missouri ************************************************************************ ******* I don't know when but Maggie E. Thompson married a George A. Hooper and they also moved to Montana. By the inscription of the headstone Maggie died January 21, 1913 . This is probably why her son Hershel joined the army so young. Janie also had a death anouncement for Joseph L. Hooper, one of Maggie E. Thompson's sons.	Thompson, Maggie E (I2291)
52	I have from a copy of a letter that Charles Atkins had that Frances Blakeman died 1909. On the headstone that she shares with her husband it has 1898 or 1899. Now it shows her on the 1900 Missouri Census.	Blakeman, Frances M."Frankie" (I957)
53	I RECEIVED THIS INFROMATION FROM MIRIAM "MIRRIE" LINDA ATKINS CORGAN, MY MOTHER'S TWIN SISTER /JULY 1995 Wynifred Maud Ketcham was of English heirtage. She had blue eyes with mild epicanthic fold, brown hair, fine complexion, high checkbones, nicely shaped nose, small skeletal frame, soft voice and only 4 foot 3 inches. She was next to the youngest of four children, two boys, two girls. Earl, the oldest , Allie(girl), Wynifred Maude "Mamie" and Rufus, the youngest. They grew up on a sheep ranch in what is now called Wisconsin Dells. Wynifred always a book reader, gentle manner, daily Bible reading a private prayer. she was active in women's society of First Presbyterian Muskogee. According to Aunt Norma " Momma's Women's group at First Presbyterian supported one sometimes two young people (up to 50% of tuition, books, boarding etc.)to make possible their attending University of Oklahoma. This was part of their Committment to Home Missions. She saw to it that her husband, herself and daughters were always well dressed. She bought clothes but also made clothes and added touches by altering and spiffing up out fits. The same with bed linen etc. to do house work lovely dresses were protected by different collored hip length paisly long sleeve smocks with short verticle collar. Smart in a low profile way. Almost Chinese looking. Mamie didn't do washing or ironing durning her entire married life in Muskogee. She had a total of two black women. The first was Delia. This was done in the basement ( a white washed partial basement with wooden steps to the outside back yard lines ). When Delia died Johnny Mae, her daughter took over this employment. I remember meeting Delia but it was near the end. My next visit it was Johnny Mae. Too bad but at that time a black female had little if any opportunity to make a little money in any other service. She was moderate in all things. This was seen in her approach to cooking. A very good Cook always buying fresh vegetables from black and Italian venders that would push their wagon up and down the residential streets. Accordin to Aunt Norma " You couldn't glut at Momma's table" . She had her own opinion of what was an appropriate portion per adult and child. After Mamie's mother died her father came to live with her in Muskogee. When he died the Wisconsin Sheep Ranch was sold. Earl , Mamie, and Rufus had a significant inheirtance. Aunt Norma said it was always referred to as "Momma's Money" She gave her share to brother Earl who put it into his lumber business and multiplied it to a smart degree. Before Mammie and Mack moved to Independence , Missouri Earl gave Mamie back her investment plus interest. I was in Independence visiting Aunt Norma the last time Mamie was with Earl. He surprised her by a "quickie" side visit to Independence from a business trip to Kansas City. Earl died less than a year later. I asked Aunt Norma to tell me about the visits Mamie would take back to Wisconsin on the train to see her parents. She said the conductor would announce " shortly you will see a landmark, the Ketcham Barn" Red with a high rock foundation actually 3 stories high. Three ramps that would accomodate the birthing sheep. It remained a tourist land mark for many years. The only story I have about Mamie's parents was about Grandpa Ketcham who had a beautiful full cheek to cheek beard that graced his chest. He was a man that liked to eat. When finished eating and carefully examined and wiped his beard he would sigh " oh my I'm feelin some discomfort" To which Grandma Ketcham said " Then don't over eat Sir" Mamie apparently got this control / self discipline from her mother. ************************************************************************ ***** I was at the LDS Church on August 21, 1996. While going through some Fiche (Fiche # 6,331,479 ,** 77 films) Wisconsin Marriages. I found a Winnifred Ketcham married October 7, 1903 in Adams County, Vol 02. Page 355, County YB ADA, Vol M, Sequince 02072.	Ketcham, Wynifred Maude "Mamie" (I1918)
54	I'm not sure if Julia's last name is Goodwin or Goodman or Goodrum. I have Nancy Conley's death certificate which has Goodwin on it and I also found a record of their marriage licsence in a book at the Oklahoma Historical Building which had her down as Goodman. The name of the book is 37,000 Early Georgia Marriages, by Maddox and Carter Page 269. There is a good chance that it could be either way becaus when I went to vist Shirley Woolf Ryland, my Dad's Cousin was not for sure if Julia's name was Goodman, Goodwin or Goodrum. I have not had much success in finding Julia's family. Maybe I'll try Goodwin on the 1950 Georgia Census. Both of Julia's parents were born in Georgia. December 29, 1997 I received a letter from Gene Conley II, Grandson of Daniel Rufus Conley. He states Nancy's last name was Goodrum. I will go with this.	Goodrum, Julia A (I1768)
55	INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME BY MIRIAM "MIRRIE" LINDA ATKINS CORGAN,MY MOTHER'S TWIN SISTER. Youngest son of Samuel Atkins and father of 3 Children . William Arthur Atkins graduated from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis. The first graduating class of medical school. He returned to the foothills of Ozarks and had a circut practice. He met Janie at the time of a house call, later Married and built a home in Rogersville,Missouri. He had light brown hair, stocky build, barrel chested, 5 feet and 11 inches and light skin.

His heft ability was first place and gave him additional reputation besides his patients opinion of him. ************************************************************************ ***** On the Missouri Census 1900 shows Charles Elwood Atkins Born 1889 in Michigan. So was William Arthur not the youngest son of Samuel? Bobby Atkins told me a Different story to how William Arthur hurt his eye. When William Arthur Atkins was a Young man he was in a poker game and won alot of money. On his way home a unhappy looser hit him in the eye with a rock. As the story goes they think it was Mary's grandfather, Bobby's wife. Now he said that Janie was always a peace maker and just might of made up the other story. ..........Who knows? It would be interesting to find out. ********************************************************************** ***** On the 1900 Missouri Soundex for Greene County- Clay Township Vol 34, ED # 48, Sheet 5, line 48 1.

57	JOHN --- THE DEER HUNTER A generation later John, The Bear Hunter's son, John, was called the Deer Hunter. As John moved from Ohio to Illinois he probably saw many deer. Deer were plentiful in Illinois then as now. It has been said that he got the name Deer Hunter because he could shoot a deer while riding on a swiftly running horse. Since there are so many Johns, it is more interesting to distinguish them as John, The Bear Hunter, and John, The Deer Hunter, rather than John I and John II.	Cutright, John (I2314)
58	JOHN ---- THE BEAR HUNTER 1 We have not been able to authenticate the label "Bear Hunter" attached to John's name. The legend has been handed down verbally by some of his descendants. Although many early settlers did eat bear meat, if he killed bears for meat, he would not necessarily be a hunter. If he killed bears to protect his family he would not be a hunter. There were probably many bears in the wooded areas in the early days. A more likely theory is that he may have hunted bears for their skins. Bear skins were used for rugs, covers, leggings and many other things. Who gave him this title? His family or someone else? How or when he got his name, we will accept him as John - The Bear Hunter. 1. The book "CUTRIGHT FAMILIES" by Ellen Decker *********************************************************************** ***** We have no exact location as to where John Cutright was born in Virgina but records show that he lived in Hardy County which is now in West Virginia. Records show that more than one Cutright leased land from Lord Fairfax who owned many acres of land in Virginia. Augusta County Virginia Court Records -- "9 August 1773 Fairfax to Henry Cutright Lot # 51 on East side of South Branch of Patomac 75 acres"; "3 August 1773 Fairfax grant lot #71 on East side of South Branch in Hardy County 50 acres"; "29 August 1787 Book 1 Page 90 John Cutright and wife Elizabeth to Abrahm Shobe all of Hardy County Lot #71", names sons, Andrew and Henry (land granted to said John in 1773). This sounds like our ancestor John. This was probably after John and Elizabeth left Virginia for Kentucky. Some believe that Henry was John's father. History of Harrison County Virginia -- William Stuart, asignee of John Cutright, 400 acres on the waters of Willis Creek, a branch of the Potomac, adjoining his Excellency General Washington's Land, to include his improvements made in 1773. (Extracts taken from certificates issued in 1781 for land in Montgomery County.) Was this the same John? We have no way of knowing. The first census was taken in 1790. In the 1790 Census of Virginia there are several John Cutrights. Since only the heads of a family were named (no wife or childrens names) we can't really tell which one was our ancestor John. We may presume that Elizabeth Subre was also born in Virginia as Virginia had claim to all land westward to the Mississippi River at that time. It is also presumable that they were married in Virginia. John was on the Virginia tax list in 1782, but not on the tax list in 1784. Records show that the family was in Kentucky in 1788. Sometime between 1882 and 1788 the family made the treck westward over the mountains into Kentucky. Kentucky was not yet a state as it didn't become a state until 1792. There were two ways to come from Virginia into Kentucky, one the Wilderness Trail blazed by Daniel Boone coming through the mountains at Cumberland Gap. However since living in Hardy County they probably traveled north to Fort Cumberland, then west and north along Braddock's Road, now Route 40 (The route Washington traveled when he was sent to warn the French to Leave British territory) To Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburg) where the confluence of the Allegheny and Monogahela Rivers form the Ohio River. From there they probably traveled down the Ohio River to where they embarked on the south shore and went to the settlement in Kentucky. In 1792 General Nathaniel Massie led a group of scouts from Kentucky into Southern Ohio looking for settlement sites. From "Historical Collections of Ohio, and Encyclopedia of the State, Volume II," by Henry Howe, 1896; "After exploring in 1792 Massie and others gave glowing descriptions of the beauty of the scenery and the fertility of the soil in the Scioto Country. These reports circulated through Kentucky arousing great interest in this region. This section of Ohio was in Virginia Military Land Tract. After a short time in the revolutionary army, Massie studied surveying and in 1783 went to Kentucky to seek his fortune. He became an expert surveyor and was employed by Col. R. C. Anderson, principal surveyor of the Virginia Military Lands. In 1791 Massie made the first settlement within the Virginia Military district at Manchester. In 1793 Massie was determined to atempt a survey tour on th Scioto River. He and his party of about thirty men proceeded up the Ohio to the mouth of Paint Creek. During 1793 - 1794 they explored different branches to their sources, which run into Little Miami River. Withstanding many hardships, they continued exploring and surveying during the Winter of 1794 - 1795. In the spring of 1796, about the first of April, a group of forty or more met at Manchester to form a settlement at the mouth of Paint Creek. They were from Mason and Bourbon Counties, Kentucky, and the Cutrights were among the group. This was the first white settlement in this region and was seven years before Ohio became a state". The History of Ross and Highland Counties, Ohio we find that John Cutright came from Virginia with the Massie party in 1796 and settled at station Prairie on the west side of th Scioto River. He remained at the Station for a short time, then moved to the east side of the river on land belonging to Nathaniel Massie". This section was the Military District. Massie was a Virginia Military District Surveyor and found the town of Chillicothe in 1796. By 1797 Massie's offer of free "in lots" and "out lots" to the first 100 settlers had been fulfilled. John Cutright served in the Revolutionary War from September 1778 to March 1779. He was a private in Caption Machen Boswell's company of the 2nd Virginia State Regiment under Colonel Gregory Smith. He fought at Camp Middlebrook, New Jersey. ********************************************************************** ******* Obituary of John Cutright Scioto Gazette -- December 29, 1830 On Friday last Mr. John Cutright of Springfield Township, Ross county, Ohio died in the 83rd year of his age. The partner of this vernerable man died only eight days before in the 73rd year of her age. They lived together as man and wife 57 years, were the parents of 12, the grandparents of 35 and the great grandparents of 54 children; numbering 151 descendants. "Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great and thine offspring as the grass of the earth." Thou shalt come tho thy grave in the full age like as a shock of corn cometh in his season."

76	ON August 22, 1996 at the LDS Church, off of NW 63rd, I found on the IGA fische surnames and states that Samuel A. Atkins had been married twice in the state of Michigan. The first wife he married in Michigan was Ann Estes on March 20, 1850. This would be too late for the majority of his children. Only Squire Ranson Atkins was born after this marriage. (This Fische only showed the marriages, births that took place in Michigan.) It also showed him married to a Arminta Carp on November 1872 in Allegan County, Michigan. Who was his first wife and mother of his Children? Could this be Rachel? I think I got her from the information on the Blakemans. It stated that Rachel and Samuel A. Atkins were the parents of Samuel Wordsworth Atkins. They must have been married in another state. New York?	Estes, Ann (I2715)
77	On January 4th 1996 I stoped off at the Morman Church in Oklahoma City off 63rd street. On the Ancestor files they had Lon's Great grandmother Julia Ann Carter and her sister Lucinda Ellen Carter.

Bellefontaine Kansas City, Missouri 64119-1540 7 May 1996 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 THIS IS A COPY OF AN OBITUARY OF DOALEY R.

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.

88	RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM MIRIAM "MIRRIE" LINDA ATKINS CORGAN, MY MOTHER'S TWIN SISTER /JULY 1995 The youngest and extremely shy as a little person, hiding behind her father's leg any time parents would stop and visit with friends. Shyness continued through adulthood but not to paralizing degree she felt as a child. Fair skin almost with out pores, so fine, blue eyes, nice shaped nose, brown hair, and 5 feet and 4 inches. Her weight always with in normal range for height until last child was born and husband went into the US Army 1942. A good dresser, She had outfits either made or " dolled up" by Doc's Mynatts widow. She also had dresses made for twin daughters plus some coats. Had beautiful silk pajamas made for Dad with satin collars , initials and etc. Backing up to Miriam's highschool days! I (Mirrie) ended up attending Muskogee Central High where I had a Home Economics teacher and History teacher that were still teaching after having my mother as a student. In those days they were Spinsters and their profession was their life. Both remembered my mother. I came home after attending all my classes and told mother. Do you know that I have two of your High School teachers? She said "What did they say about me"? I said Agness Crane (History) " She wasn't much of a student, but sweet " . Elizabeth Little ( Home Econommics) " the most love sick girl I ever had. Always a silent crush on some boy ". * Note Elizabeth Little was a member of First Presbyterian Muskogee and later saw mother with me at church. They had some laughs. The semester I had her was her last period of service with Central High. Mother always loved children, When she was a little girl there was a family a few houses down on the opposite side of the street with a little baby girl named Betty Donnelly. Her mother let Miriam push Betty in a baby buggy up down the street only 1 block and back and up and back etc. When Betty could walk and talk she called mother Meiriwee. Years later I was nick named Mirrie. Mother and Betty stayed in Contact for years. Betty visited us in Lamar. Insisted she wanted to watch a delivery. Mother frequently assisted Daddy as a nurse although she was not a nurse. Well they let her ( Betty) and she fainted "dead away". After the baby was born and everything tidy Daddy said "I expect you to have learned from all you've seen today". This is jumbled but as I remember leaving out things like post High School. Mother asmits she disliked school and did not want to go to college. She was dating regularly a young man that was a clerk in a hardware store who asked that they be engaged to marry even though he couldn't afford a ring. This was summertime and according to mother Mack was a sour puss. She ran away from home, leaving a note to daddy that he was the cause of all her unhappiness. While Mother was hiding out at a girl friends house Mamie and Mack were searching frantically for any information from girls that knew Miriam. Finally one told them that she was at Mercedes Maloney's house. ( not a close friend but they knew each other). Mother came home with her parents. Norma said Daddy was never the same. He felt guilty and never said a harsh word to Miriam again. That I can remember. Mother had 5 children and Aunt Norma would take the train from Independence, Missouri to Lamar, Missouri to check on Jim and Miriam. She always brought a gift for all and doing what she could to help her little sister. A family story is that during her short visit ( Daddy couldn't tolerate relatives but 1/2,3 max. days) She darned all of Jims socks.( perhaps 5-6 pairs) While they were in the kitchen Mirrie and Connie *probably Mirries idea) got into her sewing basket and used her sissors to cut perfectly in half each one of Jim's socks she ( Aunt Norma) groaned, mother had a muffled giggle with hand on mouth. According to Aunt Norma .....that taught me / She doesn't need me. She helpless and thats the way Jim likes it and Miriam too!! Mother sent us kids to the Baptist Church for Sunday School and Church and Summer time Bible School. Connie and I went to Summer Camp out side of Greenfield, Missouri. Sonny wouldn't go to camp. He backed away from Sunday School before 10 years. Mother went to College in Columbia, Missouri called Christian College, a two year school, kinda like a finishing school. She didn't want to go but Mamie said try it at least try it. Mother married Daddy in a December. She would have graduated the following June with an Associate degree. She always said she hated school. Daddy (Mack) wrote me letters every week telling me to be brave and try to study, ha!	McMillan, Miriam Louise (I1915)

91	THIS INFORMATION CAME TO ME FROM MIRIAM "MIRRIE" LINDA ATKINS CORGAN, MY MOTHER'S TWIN SISTER. /JULY 1995 In Missouri he lived in the home of a licensed medical doctor. He accompanied the doctor on his calls around the country side and foot hills of the Ozarks. After a few years he took the state board exams and passed and was able to hang out a shingle and start his own practice. If I remember right there is a vertical Tombstone in the same cemetery that William Arthur Atkins is buried. With the name Samuel Atkins DOB and DOD. Why I say this is cause when I was a child Prior to WW II Grandmother Atkins would invite Albert, my father to come to a reunion at the cemetery where there would be tables with alot of food and where different relatives were buried. We children ran around the tombstones playing tag admonished off and on by grandma Atkins and other old ladies "Don't step on the graves ". That was the mounds straight out from the Markers (stones). On the most part we stayed off the mounds. Back then if you were adjudged as not trying to cooperate( Obey). There came a timeof instant "taking care of". The food was wonderful. I remember two things cold lemonade and a white cake covered with thick vanilla icing with real cream in it.... Back to Samuel Atkins, Samuel lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan before moving to Missouri. There was a furniture factory that some of the Atkins men worked in. It was nationally known for children's highchairs. Samuel had several sons. William Atkins was the youngest. His childhood was kinda like the Joseph Story in the Bible ( My paternal grandfather) The older brothers wouldn't let him hang around them. One day they started throwing gravel at him to go home. Some got imbedded in one eye. His dad did what he could but some foreign material couldn't be extracted. Years later this eye was operated on and though this operation was a success he died in the post operation room. He hemorrhaged internal. the nurses didn't see anything. The only time I ever saw my dad cry, standing at the phone getting that information from Kansas City. I was six years old in 1937. One time only dad took us to St. Louis, Missouri to a cousin (child of one of grandpa's brothers. The home and family very respectable, but no particular spark of warmth. That was it , No further contact. Grandpa had a married sister named Libby. Her husband's named was Horace Patterson. We went to her home somewhere around Springfield, Missouri a few times. We never stayed but like an hour or less. She was pretty with alot of thick white hair. She had a married daughter . Her name was Leah. Her husband's name was Elmer ( Chaffin or Thompson ? ) he was a guard at the prison. Libby's daughter was very friendly and outgoing. she had Connie and I go with her to her strawberry garden. We helped her pick a large mixing bowel of strawberries, which she washed and sliced and poured over a slice of angel food cake, which we all ate heartily. Then lastly Grandpa had a female relative ( I think her name was Birdie. she married a Muskogee, Oklahoma Newspaperman, James Bixby.) THE END ************************************************************************ ***** In James Albert Atkins obituary it states that Samuel Atkins was a union soldier from Michigan during the Civil War and came to Missouri afterwards. Samuel is buried in Dodson Cemetary in Rogersville, Missouri. On his tombstone it reads "FROM LOVES SHINING CIRCLE THE GEMS DROP AWAY" ********************************************************************** *** I found information in the 1860 Michigan census in the town of Watson in Allegan County ( it was taken on the 25th day of June) Page 372. It showed Samuel W. Atkins to be 16 years old at the time. It also stated his father, Samuel A. Atkins was 55 years old and a farmer. It also stated that Samuel W. was born in Michigan and his father and mother were both born in New York. Allegan County is very close to Kalamazoo. In the 1870 census ( done on the day of August 18 in the town of Watson, Allegan County Missouri on Page 392 ) it showed Samuel W. Atkins to be 25 years old, married to Frances, who was 19 years old and living on his own farm next to his father , Samuel A. Atkins. In the 1980 census of Michigan. ( I found on the Soundex ) It stated Samuel W. Atkins was still living in TWP Watson, county Alligan.( born in Michigan) Samuel W. is 35 years old and his wife, Frances is 29. It showed them to have 3 children at the time. The children were listed as Birdina (female ) age 7 years, Earl ( son)age 5 years old and Arthur (son, William Arthur Atkins ) age 2. It states all the children were born in Michigan.( Vol. 1,Sheet 13, Line 14, ED 14 or 74. on the regular census.) ********************************************************************** ***** In the Missouri Union Veterns of the Civil War , which was in a way a cenus taken for Union soldiers and their widows for pensions. It was taken in 1890.Since all the 1890 census were burned up this help me prove that Samuel W. Atkins was a union soldier from Michigan and did move to Missouri some time between 1880 and 1890. The Green County, Missouri was on Roll 30. It also looked like the town was Springfield in Missouri. It stated: Samuel W. Atkins House # 66 Family # 64 or 69 (I think this is the order of families they talked to) Privite /company I (i) / Name of Regiment or Vessel 5 In the Michigan Calvery Date of Enlistment: August 22, 1864 Date of Discharge July 3, 1865 In for 1 year, 10 months and 11 days Post Office Address Palace, Green County, Missouri Served under Col. Russell A. Alger ********************************************************************** ***** From Robert Atkins "Bobby", my mother's cousin stated Samuel Atkins lived in Flint, Michigan. He also stated he saw a land deed for Samuel that stated the land was in Flint, Michigan. Maybe he lived in both places? I did not find any cenus record of them living in Flint, Michigan but that doesn't mean it wasn't true either. It will just take more research. ********************************************************************** ***** In the Missouri Soundex for 1900- Vol. 34- ED 48- sheet 5- Line 48 Green County, Clay Twp Frances M.

His headstone states born 1907 and died 1913. I don't have this child listed as their child. I need to check the 1910 Missouri Census when it comes out Dodson Cemetery is located on highway 60 by Springfield. your drive to road NN and turn South. There is a gas company there called Empire Gas, a white and green building. It is on the oppsite side of the street that you turn on. you go down NN just a short ways and the road turns. Right where the road turns will be a small cemetery, Dodson Cemetery.	Atkins, Samuel Wordsworth (I833)
