CHARLES FREMONT PROSSER (DOB 8-12-1857) married SARAH MARIA
ROYER (DOB 8-17-1855) in Rooks County, Kansas, December 31, 1885.
They had children, Gracie Prosser (DOB 6-6-1887, died 6-7-1887),
MARY
ETHEL PROSSER (DOB 12-13-1888), my grandfather, CLARENCE EARL PROSSER
(DOB 12-12-1890), and HARLIE DALE PROSSER (DOB 8-18-1892).
HARLIE DALE PROSSER married MARGARET LUND on 5-20-1914,
and had children, MARION ETHEL PROSSER (DOB 4-13-1913) and
SARAH
ROYER PROSSER (DOB 2-20-1918). CLARENCE EARL PROSSER married
"TOP"
SHACKLETT on 9-15-1915, and had two children, MARY JANE PROSSER
(DOB
8-20-1916) and, my father, JOHN RICHARD PROSSER (DOB 7-11-1932).
CLARENCE and TOP had later relocated to Newton and then to Kansas City,
KS. MARY JANE PROSSER married DALE ROGERS (a local WWII Hero
Fighter Pilot). Dale and Mary Jane are currently living in Arkansas.
My most urgent inquiry is regarding CHARLES FREMONT PROSSER in
particular. Although, any other information regarding any other Prossers
or Royers are welcome. I need to find out who CHARLES FREMONT PROSSER'S
parent were. I don't know if he had siblings or what his parents names
were or where they came from. I do know my grandfather, CLARENCE EARL
PROSSER had an uncle LOREN ROYER married to a woman named MAUD
(maiden name unknown at this time). CHARLES FREMONT PROSSER
was custodian at the grade school in Plainville. My aunt tells me the children
all knew him very well and were very fond of him. He would sit down and
get a group of children around and tell them stories. Thanks for any help
I can get. I think it is wonderful you have this genealogy section set
up for your county! Thanks.
