(Ruben Boliver) Graham was b. 09 Apr 1864 in Vandalia Co. IL. His parents died not long after he was born, so his siblings brought him to Rolla. He had a farm outside Rolla, over by where Arlington used to be. He married Sarah Rebecca Brown, 1890 in Arlington. My Grandma was the oldest of the 5 kids he and Rebecca had I know he worked for the Railroad and was a farmer. He died 27 Dec 1953 and was buried in Rolla, Sarah was buried in Rolla in Nov 1951.
My name is Sheryl (Beck) Pullium and I am looking for any information on my Great-Great grandparents; John William Register and his wife Missouri Elizabeth Castleman. Some resources list his birth as January 26, 1872 in Missouri , however this cannot be correct as their marriage is recorded in Phelps Co Missouri Book 4 page 264 and Dent Co Missouri Marriage Records dated 1851-1878. Her birth date is listed as January 19, 1865 in some places and 1866 in others. They were married in Phelps County Missouri. My lineage is as follows:
John William Register- married Missouri Elizabeth Castleman. They had 6 children; all born in MO; 2 died in MO. Everett Leroy, Charles Raymond, Hamilton Vernon and Georgia Irene. Georgia Irene Register at some point moved to Illinois and married Charles F Beck in Sangamon County. They had 5 children; Glen William, June, Dolores, Charles F Jr and Donald. Glen William married Dorothy Crosby in St Louis, Mo. They had 5 children; one died at child birth; Charles F, Glen William Jr, Bernard Michael and Glenda Elien. Bernard Michael is my father.
I really dont have much info on John and Missouri Register other than she was blind and adopted from a Cherokee chief by Osborne David and Trithina Castleman. Her birth date could actually be her adoptive birth date. Sources show she was born in Rolla, Phelps, MO. I can't find much info on John William Register other than his fathers' name was Elijah Register who was born around 1841 in MO and his mother was the former Mary Elizabeth Robinson. John William did have a sister; Georgia Lavina (Register) Castleman that was born April 20, 1879 in MO. Any information would be greatly appreciated!would like to find the obituary and/or death notice for Zelma Roberts, who died Apr 1986, in Newburg, Phelps Co., MO. Can anyone please help me?

The man with the beard towards the left of the photo is possibly.... William Clayton Shoemate. I have another photo of him and it looks just like him,but I am not positive.
The photo was taken at Lake Springs, MO, and says on the back, "Public Gathering at Lake Springs, Dent or Phelps County, MO, when mother was a girl..about 1890". I'm not quite sure who mother was. I'm really not even sure that is Wm. Shoemate, but I believe it to be him....Dennis photo "Gathering at Lake Spring Shoemate"
