RUSHTON, HOTTENSTEIN
I am looking for a death date/burial info on Edward D. Rushton,
who died in Labette Twp, Labette Co, KS after March 1895 and before
1899. His spouse at the time of death was Charlotte/Scharlott
Rushton. Surviving children were Lovey, Cleveland, and Charles.
Edward is listed as Edwin (this is the only occurrence I can find of
this error) on the 1895 Kansas Census done in March 1895. His widow
is listed on the 1900 census as Scharlott Hottenstein, who says her
marriage took place in 1899, and has the surviving sons (Cleveland &
Charles) living in the same household.
WEST, MEADOWS
I am searching for the whereabouts of James and Susan(West) Meadows, who drowned on the Neosho in about 1895. I do not know which county, and will be sending this to all the KS counties through which the Neosho runs. James and Susan were from Appanoose co., IA, he b. 1837, she b. 1844, and they md.1858 in IA. They were gone from Appanoose shortly after marriage, and may have gone straight to KS. James had family in Knox/Warren Co., IL, where the following was found in the local paper: From the Abingdon, Illinois, Argus, 16Jan1896 "Someone hereabout saw in some western paper, an account of the drowning of one James Meadows and wife, during the recent high waters on the Neosho River, Kansas. It is believed by relatives here, that the party was a brother of the late Greenberry Meadows, as he had a brother who owned and lived on a farm along that stream. From what we can learn the couple were on some kind of craft seeking to escape, when the boat became entangled in some drift where the current was swift and in their efforts to extricate themselves from their perilous predicament, the boat was upset precipitating them into the raging river in which they perished............." I am assuming that there would be an estate file, since he owned a farm, so if anyone could perhaps look through the index, or find any other info on this family, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance! Jeffrey W. Simmons 1255 N. Seminary Galesburg, IL 61401

HUDSON, FORD, ROBINSON
Hello! My grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother can be found in the 1900 12th Census of the U.S. in Mound Valley Township. They are listed as follows: Mary Hudson, born in Ohio in 1831; Mary Ford, daughter, born in Indiana in 1869; and Mary A. Ford, granddaughter, born in Kansas in 1887. I would like to know more about them. They were both widows. I don't know their husbands' name. My grandmother, Mary Agnes (A) Ford was 12 years old in 1900. I lost track of her after 1900. Sometime after 1900 she married and had a boy (my father) and a daughter. Family rumor has it that she ran away from her 1st husband and married Elmer Alfred Robinson and was listed in 1920 as living at Center, Wilson Cnty., KS. In the 1930 censes, they are listed as living in Quincy, Greenwood County, KS. I have a copy of my grandmother's obituary, dd April 21, 1955 and know that she is burried in Greenwood cemetery in Eureka, KS.
I don't know my father's real name. I don't know my grandfather's name. I don't know my great-grandfather's name (just Ford). I don't know my great-great-grandfather's name (just Hudson). I really would appreciate any help you can give me on tracing these people.
I'm looking for information on Charles E. (Everett) Pearson (jr) (1900-?) of Howard, Labette county. Father of my g-grandmother Ruth Winifred Pearson (1897-1968) . He was son of Charles E. (Everett, or Ellsworth) Pearson (1862-1934), who ended out his life in Howard, Labette. I believe he is the son of Jonathan Pearson (1833-?) who finished his life in Labette. I'm 90% sure that this is the correct lineage, except that Charles Everett is sometimes listed in docs as a Jr., but Ellsworth (charles) is the son of Jonathan, not Everett. I'm trying to determine whether this is the correct lineage or not. Any help would be appreciated, especially if someone found the Pearson graveyard in Howard.

WINTERS WINTER |
My cousins and I are from the family of William A. Winters. He is in the Labette County History, having built a “nine room house” by 1900. The farm home was located on Tenth Street Road (two miles east of Altamont), five and a half miles south of the Altamont-Oswego highway.
He came from the linage of Christian Winter (no final s), born in 1780, who migrated in 1803 from what is now Germany.
According to family history he came from Hohenlohe but we have not yet established the village or city of origin since the name is assigned to at least three hamlets or towns as well as a geographical area which is discussed in the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
My name is Murl Winters wintersm@evangel.edu.
My cousins who are actively searching for information were born in the Fairview Community two miles north of my own home. They are David Gillespie dgill6602@comcast.net and Kenneth Gillespie KWG@aol.com.
