| 5 | “Mr. Washington Welch Dead. Another of Henry County’s oldest and best citizens has succumbed to the iron tooth of time and has been laid to rest beside the departed fathers. Washington Welch in the 91st year of his age, after long months of physi- cal agony, departed this life at his home in Sandy Ridge District last Mon- day, surrounded by sorrowing relatives and friends. On Tuesday afternoon his remains were laid to rest at New Hope burying ground, after appropriate funeral ser- vices. His death was not unexpected, he having been the subject of that dis- tressing affliction, cancer, from the r avages of which he died after having passed far beyond the allotted time fixed as the usual limit of human ex- istence. He was a model husband, an indul- gent father, faithful friend, true neigh- bor, and good citizen. For over a half a century he was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and died strong in the faith. His was not a death. It was simply the laying aside of the earth-worn cas- ket for the robes of immortality. An aged wife and several grown sons and daughters survive him. To them we would say, emulate his virtues and though you sorrow here, beyond the vale of the Great Source of love and contentment shall wipe away all tears.” | Welch, George Washington (I1268)

In childhood she came with her par- ents to Strawberry Point, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood and on her seventeeenth birthday was united in marriage to Norman Griste, of the same place. To this union nine children were born, one of who died in infancy. The remaining children are: Harry, of Wann, Oklahoma; Earl, of Peck; Kansas; Mrs. Carrie Hughes, of Cas- tle, Indiana; Mrs. Magie Forney, Mrs. Lura Carter and Miss Ruth Griste, of Belle Plaine and Mrs. Kate Pennock, of near Peck; Mrs. Fay Hatfield, of Wichita. All of the chil- dren were present at the funeral ex- cept Harry, who was unable to reach here on account of the snow blockade. Besides the children she leaves thir- teen grandchildren and two brothers, her husband having passed on about two years ago. Mrs. Griste and husband came to Kansas in 1870 and located on a farm in the Prairie Garden neighborhood, where they continued to reside until 1901, when they moved to Belle Plaine which has since been her home with the exception of a few months' resi- dence in Wichita. Mrs. Griste ha ssuffered [sic] from poor health for more than a year and for several months has been confined to her bed at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Carter. She passed away Thursday, January 10, 1918. The funeral services were held at the Christian church Saturday at 2:30 p. m., conducted by Elder J. D. Boyer. Mrs. Griste was a consistent Chris- tian woman, a kind friend and good neighbor and will be greatly missed by her many friends.” | Davis, Elizabeth (I2730)

Wiley Rogers was the name given the eight and a half pound baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Folger here Wednesday, August 28. The Perry youngster is perhaps the first in the state to be named in honor to the two great men since their untimely death.” | Folger, Wiley Rogers (I1670)

| 11 | “Mrs. T. R. Sorrells died at her home six miles north of Chelsea Tuesday morn- ing April 23, 1901, of heart failure. She was about 52 years of age. That morn- ing their home caught fire and she feared that it would be entirely consumed, and she began removing the furniture as rapidly as possible. Some of the child- ren succeeded in extinguishing the flames and when they had accomplished this they found Mrs. Sorrels laying in the yard. She was immediately removed to the house and Dr. Pifer was summoned at once, but before he arrived she was beyond medical assistance. Her sudden death is attributed to her extreme excitement and fright, causing heart fail- ure. It is sad indeed to be parted so sud- denly from one who is so dear, and their many friends deeply sympathize with the family in this their irreparable loss. The remains were laid to rest in the Chelsea Cemetery Wednesday afternoon, the burial ceremonies being conducted by Rev. R. C. Parks.” | Thompson, Louisa (I1091)

| 17 | A phone call to the Henniger-Allen Funeral Home on 10 December 2014, revealed the only other information in the record was “interment at Rosemound,” the only cemetery by that name found in Oklahoma is in Grant County, whose records are housed at the Medford Library; no record of a Folger burial in the cemetery, per Charlene at the library. | Folger, Nellie (I1695)
|
| 18 | A search of marriage records in Texas, Nevada and nationwide did not find any record for the marriage of John & Vivian. I believe they were married very close to the time of his divorce from Marge. | Family (F64)
|
| 19 | A.J.'s death date of 23 January 1923 on his headstone is incorrect. The death certificate states that he died 15 September 1922 of influenza. He was attended by Dr. Dawkins and the certificate was filed in October 1922. | Dykes, Angus J. (I358)
|
| 20 | Addie is 2 years old in the 1860 census and 13 years old in the 1870. Her headstone is difficult to read, and is mis-transcribed on the Find A Grave website. | Ferkins, Mary Adaline (I1701)

|
| 23 | Alfred was likely born very near 2 February 1837. He was paid his inheritance from his grandfather on 2 February 1858 indicating he had come to the legal age of 21. | Adams, Alfred H. (I2084)
|
| 24 | All records in Evalina'a life show her name spelled with an “E,” including the death certificates of her children. The only time it is found spelled Avalina, is on her headstone. | Buzzard, Evalina (I1936)
|
| 25 | Although her headstone and death certificate shows a birth year of 1850, she was listed in the 1850 census as a 1 year old, so she was likely born in 1849. | Yearwood, Sandal Narcissa (I1591)
|
| 26 | Andrew's birth year fluctuates in records created during his lifetime. His parental family has not been located on the 1880 census. They did show up in the 1885 Florida census where he is 6 years old. He is listed as born between sisters Angeline (1876) and Rebecca (February 1885). When he completed his SS-5 application for a social security number in December 1939, he listed has birth year as 1873, possibly to be closer to an age to receive benefits. The 1900 census listed his birth as December 1880 and most census records calculate to a birth year of 1879–1882. | Anderson, Dread Andrew Jackson (I561)
|

|
| 34 | Biographical books, referred to as “mug books,” were popular in the late 1800's. William was still alive when History of Belmont and Jefferson Counties, Ohio was printed. His birth date is listed in his biography as 9 May 1813, Winchester, Virginia. When he died, the Soldiers Grave Registration card gave his birth date as 22 August 1814. No informant was listed. The Belmont County death register gives his age as 76 years, 11 months, 3 days, which calculates to a birth date of 9 April 1813. He was likely born in April or May of 1813. | Folger, William H. (I1841)

| 39 | Butler County, Alabama, had a major loss of records in an 1853 courthouse fire. No marriage record found in Butler or Pike Counties, Alabama.[1] Estate file of Mary Holland lists her heirs, including “Elizabeth Cook, wife of James C. Cook.”[2] Elizabeth is likely the female 15–19 in her father, James's, household in 1840. James & Elizabeth’s first child, Sarah, was born in April 1842. Based on those dates, they were likely married between 2 June 1840 and sometime in July 1841.
