| Query: Am looking for information concerning James Van Notric (various spellings) and his wife Drucilla Cheatwood or information concerning the settlement of Calvert, Kansas. James was born & married in Auglaize County, Ohio, lived a brief time in North Liberty, Indiana and settled in Sand Creek twp, Kansas. According to the 1900 census, they had seven children. I have also come across a reference in a Kansas History that there is/was a plaque at Calvert that states "platted in 1888 by Kansas Land and Town Co. James Vannotric, Drazilla, his wife and Charles D. Bieber, and Eliza B. Bieber, his wife." Any information is appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reply: Ardie Grimes mad_genealogist@yahoo.com from "Seventy Years in Norton County, Kansas, 1872 - |

Some of these obits are from online archives of area newspapers but a large portion were clippings donated specifically to be posted. Keep checking back as I continually post more abstracts as I find more obits. Each listing will either have a URL where you can access the obit; or instructions to contact me for the full text.

| Query: My father was born in 1899 in Norton, Kansas. I requested a copy of his birth certificate from Norton County and was told there was no record. According to the 1900 census my father's family was living in Almelo township in Norton County. Does the town of Almelo still exist in Kansas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reply: Ardie Grimes mad_genealogist@yahoo.com July 18, 2000 There's not much left at New Almelo. If your family lived in Almelo Twp. and were Catholic, try writing to St. Joseph
Catholic Church, HC 1 Box 175, New Almelo, KS 67652. The church phone number is 785-567-4875; the parish center
number is 785-567-4261. If they were not Catholic, you are probably just out of luck unless you would happen to find a
birth announcement in a local newspaper.

| Author: | Dennis White | dennisrwhite@hotmail.com |
| Date: March 23, 2000 | ||
| Query: My grandmother and grandfather were married in Norton,
but both families had homes in Norcatur, Decatur County. My grandmother, Mattie Vernon (b. 1909) was the daughter
of Clint and Emma Vernon, who were well known around those parts. My grandfather, Floyd David Shepard was the son of John D. Shepard and Cora Mason Shepard who had come to Kansas from Indiana. They had an older son, Carl Mason Shepard. The father and /or possibly sons owned a service station during the teens or twenties. John D. Shepard (b. 1874) died young - he had a neurological disease that he passed on to his sons- and Cora remarried a man named Wickham. In the thirties the entire family (including my grandmother) moved west to Colorado and eventually Washington State. But I still would like to find the final resting place of John D. Shepard, and what became of him through his illness. In fact, I do not even have a year for his death. If anyone has any clues for me I'd be most grateful. |
