DATE: 16 AUG 2000 NAME: Ron Adams SURNAME: ADAMS I am searching for the grave of my g-g-gmother, Sophronia Adams (nee Brown), who was living in Belvue in the 1870s and 1880s, died Feb. 19, 1895. She was survived by her husband, Joseph. I suspect Sophronia died in the Belvue area and is buried there. I also was told in a very brief visit to Belvue quite a few years ago that the main cemetery in Belvue was down along the river. It was severely damaged in a major flood in the 1903-04 timeframe, and if my g-g-gmother was buried there, most likely her grave was wiped out. Can someone shed any light on the flood story, or possibly guide me on where to look for Sophronia's grave. By the way, she apparently also went by the nickname Lucy, so her name may appear that way. Thank you very much. DATE: JUN 2001 NAMES: Mike Wilson SURNAME: ADAMS PEAK SCHOOLHOUSE Any information or pictures of Adams Peak School House?

I'm not sure when his parents W.P. and Eliza Nealis came to the Wamego, Ks. area. A.B. married my grandmother in the early 1890's and their first three children were born in the Wamego area. They moved to Wallace county Kansas in 1905 and my mother was born here in Wallace County in January of 1906. My grandmother's maiden name was Sadie Hudson and she was the daughter of Barney and Susan Hudson. She and her parents came to Kansas from Illinois when she was a young girl. She and A.B.'s parents are buried in the Wamego Cemetery. Her brother's son is buried there also and his name is Elton Hudson. A couple of years ago I was at Wamego and went through the cemetery. There was one sister to A.B. that I didn't find. Her name was Sylvia Nealis Youngkemp and she passed away around 1937 or 38. I thought that surely she and her family were buried there in the county so far I haven't located them. What I really want to know is if there is anyone left that might have some information on these families or where I can go to maybe find some documents or graves. I'm doing this for my Granddaughter as she is interested. I have written down what I remember from what my mother and her brother told me as a child. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I've got a lot of info from cemetery, and census data. What I'm starting to suspect is that there two temperance lecturers with this name in Kansas during the 19th century. I found one lecturer named J Detwiler in Rock Creek in 1880 census; he was listed as lecturer. He was the right age. No wife was listed, but right next door was a Z Detwiler, also the right age, with some of the right age people with him. At the same time, in Wamego, was a family headed by John DEHIVELER (a plausible transcription disaster) also a lecturer, again with the right ages, and listing the right wife, son Zenas, also the right age, and several of the right children, plus a daughter with the right first name and a new last name and some children, plus a nephew I recognized but was surprised to find.
