On 10/26/09 I updated this document. Updates are in red. I plan to do a lot more work on this family in the near future. I am having fits with the tabs and margins on google docs!

ReplyDeleteThese updates are in blue so people can see what's new. In a few months I'll change my red and blue updates to black. I used the "Higbee News" as a source for some of my information. Most of it came from paper clippings at the Historical Center in Moberly, MO. Some of it came from extracts by Kathy Bowlin. I have attempted to give Kathy Bowlin credit, where I used her extracts. Kathy has provided a great service to genealogists researching Randolph Co. MO by extracting articles from the Higbee News. Thanks Kathy!
