  2. My aunt was Dorothy Louise Christensen who married Martin Albert Small Jr. Both are buried in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “M.A.” (as he was called) died in 2005, and my aunt died in 2006.

  3. I am the grandaughter of Ralph Hays and great grandaughter of Granville Hays. Your article says Bob Hays was married in Burton Missouri, Scott county, I don’t know of Burton but there is a Benton Missouri Scott county where Ralph Hays lived.Aunt Hazel and Aunt lillian lived in California. I would like to talk to someone about some of these relatives,

  4. I am researching the Houston family of Decatur County and when reading some old deeds (c1850) I find reference to a Graham Creek. I can find no current day reference to a Graham Creek. I believe it to have been located in Range 8, Section 9 in the vicinity of today’s Johnson’s Creek and Bear Creek – I’m guessing it is close to the Barnett Cemetery. I’m hoping someone knows where Graham Creek is/was.

  9. I am the grand daughter of Tressie Lorene Gibson Cagle (and later Howe),and daughter of Charlotte (mispelled at least once in your listing) Lorene Cagle Baker. I was born Brenda Lorene Baker, with Lorene being mispelled also. As you can see Lorene is a middle name going back at least these 3 generations, so it feels that much more important to get correct. I stumbled across your page while searching for any information regarding my grandmother, Tressie’s admission to a hospital, convent or alike in 1945 or 1946, apparently having a severe case of postpartum depression shortly after my mother’s birth in Dec. 1945. I only learned of this from my Aunt Clarice in the past couple of years, at around 50 yrs old, myself. This information could help me to better understand the complicated relationship that my mother Charlotte had with her mother, Tr.essie. I also believe that any history of severe anxiety and/or depression in one’s family history could lead someone to getting help for themselves sooner if they also suffer from these illnesses. I believe this information would have helped myself as well as a few of my cousins, had we known about this history in the family.

  10. I would like to join and leave an occasional thing pertaining to the Akin(s), in Decatur County for a hundred years. Can you set me up?
