CLARK
I found a western union telegram in some old letters and papers that belonged to my
grandmother. It was sent to my great-grandmother, Vernie N. Mayhan-Weiss, by her niece
Rose Mary Clark. It's dated August 24, 1948 and it reads:
"Mother passed away today=Rose
Mary Clark="
It was sent from Athalia, Oh. I also have a letter dated July 25, 1948, from
Rosemary to Vernie with a reference to Athalia in the top corner above the date.
My
great-grandmothers sisters name was Gracie Odell Mayhan. I think she was married twice,
first to a man named Styles (first name unknown)and then to George Clark. I think she
had atleast one child with Mr. Styles and her name was Kathryn.
In Rosemary's letter to
Vernie she mentions that she plans on getting married soon, that her mother is not
feeling well, that her father is having a hard time keeping himself busy, as he has
recently retired (from store business?).
I sent away for a death certificate from the
Ohio Department of Health and they said they did not have a death certificate for
Gracie. I'll try Virginia next.
We have a picture of Gracie sitting on the bumper of a
car with a Virginia License Plate. It was probably taken in the late 1930's or early
1940's.
Gracie and Vernie were both born in Newport, Jackson County, Arkasas. Their parents were
James Riley Mayhan and Mattie Clementine Medley.
I would be very interested in finding Rose Mary or Kathryn or anyone knowing of them.
Any help or advise you can give would be much appreciated. I believe that Rose Mary was
in her early 20's in 1948, and probably in her 70's now.

ARTHUR
I'm trying to locate any information on James P. ARTHUR. I have found
him on the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Lawrence Co., OH. The age of James
on each census is confusing as he is listed as age 31 in 1860 and age 47
in 1870. I'm sure it's the same person though because wife is Mary and
children are the same. I believe he probably died in Lawrence Co. I'm
looking for a death date or obituary to try and find out additional
family information, i.e. parents, etc. I have ordered the Lawrence Co.
death index from my FHC here but it will be several weeks before they can
get it. Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Seeking burial information on g-grandfather Isaac GOSSETT b. 1852 in Lawrence County to Mathias and Rachel PERKINS GOSSETT. Married Dilsey Violet JONES April 1879; children Edmond, ALonzo, Allen and Maggie. Moved to Muncie, Indiana about 1900, but disappeared from family in 1905, whereabouts after that unknown. Family lore has him buried in Perkins Ridge Cemetery, Windsor Twp., in the old GOSSETT section in an unmarked grave. Have not been able to find a death certificate or verification of burial. Any information appreciated, all responses answered.
