SUBJECT: Mount Calvary Cemetery Contact
I was just up to the Mount Calvary Cemetery there in St. Mary's with a family member of mine and as we were looking through for our relatives and placing flowers on their graves I came across a relative of ours, Nicholas J. Seitz. I was disgusted to find that his headstone was broken competely in half and just layed their where his grave was suppose to be. I dont live near St. Mary's but I was just curious to see who I could contact via e-mail to regard this issue. I'm not sure if anything can be done about it, but it's upsetting to know that this man's headstone is broken in half.

SUBJECT: SUMNER Family
am researching my family name of SUMNER, and find that I have a relative that immigrated from Cheshire, England to the Olsburg, KS area in 1883. He was a brother of my G grandfather. His name was Joseph SUMNER and his wife Sarah WILLIAMS. As far as I can tell, they had no children. He was a wheelwright by trade. I will be traveling through the area this summer and wanted to see if I can find any further information on the family. I have heard that there is a grave marker in the Olsburg Cemetery. Perhaps you could suggest people or places I could contact for any further information or accounts of their many years in Olsburg. I believe they died around 1916. If anyone else is researching this family, please feel free to forward my e-mail address.

SUBJECT: Grossman
Hello, my name is Tom Grossman and I live on the northside of Indianapolis, Indiana. I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I have been doing genealogy on my father's side of the family and I have found everyone I have been looking for except my great grandfather and a great aunt. My great grandfather's name was David Grossman and I think his middle name was Edward. The last name may have also been spelled with two ns. He was from Wurttemburg, Germany and was born in 1842. He married a Mary Ann Wagner and they immigrated to the U.S. in 1868. They were listed in the 1870 census as living in Circleville, Ohio with an infant son Henry. On the 1880 census they were living in St. Mary's Kansas Pottawatomie County. At that time they had the son Henry as well as my grandfather Charles then Mary, Katherine and Clara. The last four children were all born in Streator, Illinois. I visited Streator and looked at city directories and found a David Grossman living there in the 1876-77 city directory and listed as a house painter. They had one more child together by the name of Magdelena or Lena for short. She was born in 1881 and on some census data I have seen her listed as being born in Illinois and on others it states she was born in Missouri. As you probably know there is no 1890 U.S. census due to a fire so the 1900 U.S. census shows my great grandmother Mary living back in Streator, Illinois with three daughters and she is listed as "widow". When I was in Streator and examining the city directories I found Mary listed in the 1892 city directory listed as "widow" and living in Streator. I have searched cemetery records and had people in Streator research cemetery records as well as the county genealogy society and they have not been able to locate a David Grossman. The best I can determine at this time is that the family was living in St. Mary's, Kansas and something happened to my great grandfather while in Kansas and then the mother and children not knowing anyone or not having any family there decided to move back to Streator, Illinois where most of the children were born. They may have had some friends or family connections there. There was another family living in Streator with the last name of Grossman but I had never heard about them or that we may have been related. The other possiblity is that the family decided to move back to Streator, Illinois and as they were making their way back picking up work as they went, something happened to my great grandfather. This is about as far as I have gotten and I am really kind of stuck. Kansas is a little far for me to travel to at this time. Is there someone who might be able to help me?

SUBJECT: Martin/Ellen Thorpe & Timothy/Margaret Thorpe
I am researching the Martin and Ellen Thorpe and Timothy and Margaret Thorpe Kelley Families that lived near Blaine. I believe, by old newspaper articles, that children of Martin and Ellen Thorpe are buried at Mt. Calvary and possibly, Timothy Kelley is also buried there. My husband and I visited the cemetery this past summer, but did not find any stones, which I was not surprised, as the children died in the 1890's. Timothy probably also passed away in early 1900's. My question is, do you know who holds the records for this cemetery? I would like to check to see if there was any recordings of these burials at this cemetery. Thank you for your any help you may be able to give me.

SUBJECT: George C Welsh
I�m trying to find some criminal or prisoner records for my great grandfather, George C. Welsh. George was one of the many black sheep in our family. I have a newspaper account of his arrest for destroying the newspaper offices of the St. Mary Journal in Wamego, Kansas, in June, 1896. It seems George became disillusioned with the St. Mary Journal over its reporting of taverns operating in the area without the proper permits. The following August, George was additionally charged with maintaining a bar/tavern without a permit. In the 1900 census, George is listed as a 'prisoner' in the Rock Creek Township, Pottawatimie, Kansas. I'm assuming he was incarcerated on the charges above and spent sometime in custody as a guest of the Kansas taxpayers. I was hoping to find information on where he was held prisoner and any associated records of his incarceration. I didn't know where to begin to look for such records or if they even exist from that time period. George C. Welsh Born 1863 in Iowa Married to Mary Effie Isenhart in St. Mary's Kansas Daughter, Willa Belle Welsh born in St. Mary's, Kansas August 4, 1888 Please let me know if you need any additional information.

SUBJECT:Gene Branton Purcel Randel
I am trying to discover my grandfathers biological parents. His mother died when he was a baby and his mothers sister and her husband adopted him. His name was Gene Brant Randel and he was born in Kansas. You have him listed as Gene Branton Purcel Randel. Purcel was the unknown fathers last name according to my father (Stephen Brant Randel). Floyd and Della Belle Randel agreed to adopt my grandpa since Mr. Purcel felt he could not care for a baby on his own. Della's maiden name was Gray and her younger sister Bessie Gray was, we believe, his biological mother. My father also said that Mr. Purcel's first name may have been Don but he was not positive on that. I've tried searching the various ancestry sites but have been unable to find any other references to Purcel AND Bessie or Gene that fits. He was not born yet for the 1920 census and by 1930 he had already been adopted. I am looking for information on either Bessie Gray or a Purcel that might fit this scenario? My grandfathers DOB is 10/27/1923
