Query, Surnames:I am looking for Muntz & Beall. My great grandfather was Charles E. Muntz he is buried in princeton cemetery along with his wife Willie ethel (Galbraith) Muntz. Charles's father was Irvin A. Muntz he is buried in Fairview cemetery, in St. John, KS along with his wife Mary Ellen (Lane) Muntz. Irvin's father was Josiah P Muntz he is buried in some cemetery in Smith Center, KS. The reason why i'm looking for Beall is because josiah had a daughter named Amanda V. Muntz born in 1863. I was looking at who was buried in princeton cemetery, and i found an Amanda V. Beall born in 1863. I think they are the same people, I believe she may have married a Beall. I would like information on her and the other i mentioned and their children. So if you have any information please email me.

Query, Surnames:In Dec 2006 I was in touch with Deborah Barker, the Director of the Franklin Co. Historical Society regarding a photo I have of a reunion of the Battle of the Survivors of Shiloh Association. She gave me valuable information on the Society and suggested the identity of a couple of the gentlemen in the picture. You can see the photo at http://www.forensicgenealogy.info/contest_2_results.html. I am in touch with the gr grandaughter of George Washington Jackson, who is the man in the center of the front row with the longest white beard. I have been helping her research the picture.

Deborah sent me scans of several of the programs from the reunions that Association had on the anniversay of the battle, April 6-7 during various years through the 1920s.

I recently obtained a high res version of the photo from the granddaughter, and have a little more info to share. But when I emailed the Historical Society, my messages bounce. Did the Society close? Does anyone know if they have moved and where I might find their archives?

If anyone is knowlegable about the Survivors of the Battle of Shiloh Association, please contact me at CFitzp@aol.com. I will be glad to share what I have with you. The society was founded by W. P. Washburn I think in 1906, and its headquarters were at Washburn's house in Ottawa, KS through about 1925, when it was moved to Belleville, IL.

Query, Surnames:Looking for someone in the WESTBROOK family descended from
Ira WESTBROOK and Lucy Ann DAY. On the 1880 census they
apparently lived in Nebraska and living with them they had
a niece Minnie C. SMITH and nephew Albert SMITH. Minnie was
born 1871 and Albert 1869. I would guess that either Ira
or Lucy had a sister who married a SMITH and I am trying to
find who the parents of Minnie and Albert were. Family tradition said that their mother died in MO and her sister, Lucy, brought them up. Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who knows something about the WESTBROOK/SMITH family. Thank you. PS: Minnie Smith married Benton
SUTTON and started a long line of Suttons. I can find out
nothing about Alfred but someone said he was a lawyer, I
don't know where.

Query, Surnames:I am looking for any information pertaining to the BROWN family that settled in Centropolis around 1867, by extension, Bell, Fleming, Howser. My ggg grandfather was Samuel Brown, his second wife- Rebecca, both buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Centropolis, KS. HIs sons included AM Brown (Albert), George, David and Flander (Philander) , Henry (HA), James, Christopher and Francis (Frank). I do know that Christopher settled in Illinois, and Frank in Washington. I think that he, Frank, married a Sarah Bell, while there is a Philander Brown married to a Rhoda Bell who settled in Howard, Elk Co. KS. who I think is "Flander" H.A. Brown settled near Westphalia. David and AM stayed in Franklin Co, both buried there. There is a Nellie Brown married to a Newton Fleming who is probably David's daughter, while a Georgie Brown Howser is buried next to AM Brown in Centropolis' Pleasant Hill Cemetery which leads me to believe that she was his daughter. My mother has a couple letters from HA, AM, Chris and/or David, George which come from Centropolis, Westphalia, and Mercer Co, OHio, where they came from.

Query, Surnames:Hi, I am searching for any information on the surnames of Carty and Haworth that lived in the Franklin County KS area in the late 1800's. Robert Carty, wife Lucy, daughters Ada, Lillie, Cynthia, Della and Amanda. They moved from Kansas to Colorado in the 1890's. I don't believe Ada made it to Colorado, she either married or died, and I can't locate any information to this fact. Lillie Carty married Franklin Pierce Haworth in Kansas. The Haworth family consisted of father William, wife Jane, brothers John, William, Eli Monks and Franklin. Sisters were Sarah, Alice and Mary Ann and possibly one or two more. I have documentation stating that Eli came to Colorado and then went back to bring the rest of the family to Colorado but mom Jane and a sister not named died during his stay in Colorado.
Can anybody help me in my research of either of these families.

Query, Surnames:I am searching for Benton Bradley who lived in Pomona Kansas in 1912 with his sister Margaret (Bradley) Crocker and her husband John T. Crocker. They are in the 29 Feb 1912 Pomona paper. There was a fire in Pomona that the paper said thought to be deliberately set for the purpose of burning the town. John Crocker lost a business and Benton and two small children were living in a building that burned. They got out safe but lost everything from the newspaper article. I would like to know what happened to them afterward. Is there a follow up on the fire in 1912? I know Benton was living in Pomona in 1910 by the census in Pomona Touwnship, Franklin County, Kansas listed with John Crocker and Mildred as brother-in-law age 45, and also a Hiram Bradley age 18 listed as nephew. Would love to know more about the fire and also what happened to Benton and his children? No clue found after 1912.

Query, Surnames:CARSNER or CASNER (related to PARKINSON) I have a family by the name of Jonas Carsner (sometimes spelled Casner) that was in Franklin County circa 1854 until 1862. He married Sarah Anna Jane Parkinson in 1847 in Polk County, IA. They started to OR in 1852 with the rest of the Parkinsons and the Casner, but Sarah who was expecting a child, was fearful of the trip and they turned back after only a few days. They stayed in Polk County, IA for a year or so before moving to'no man's land' in Franklin County circa 1854. Several Parkinson families already lived in Franklin County. The three daughters of Jonas and Sarah were born in Franklin County.

Would like to communciate with anyone who might be able to shed some light on this family during their stay in Franklin County. Am specifically interested to know if a photo exist of Jonas and Sarah and their children. Any information appreciated.
