Leslye's email of
Jan 2002, shared here with her permission,
concerning her search for information Subject: Mt. Moriah
Cemetery ----snipped
....... I
talked with you sometime ago (summer of '99) and
had an interesting visit with
you. You shared the information you'd written in the newspaper article about my gg
grandfather, Henry Clay Rogers. You also gave my niece and I directions to
go to the grave site at Mt.
Moriah, of
which we did during my week in Missouri ( wrote
you sometime back of the visit). We
have pictures of gg grandfather's headstone, and have the area well documented....thanks
to you!
Since I last
talked with you, I have since lost my grandmother
(Nancy E., Dec. 24, 1999) and
my beloved mother (Mary Ann., May 27, 2001)...mother was only 66 years young.
Our ! five living generations so quickly disappeared. It was very
difficult for us for a while, but thank
God for a
large & loving family.
The reason
for the "ring" today.....you ask that
if I ever came across
information
of other family members that are buried in the
cemetery to contact you. I have
since become the benefactor of a pretty cool
piece of paper. I have...what
I believe you would call the wake book...of my gg grandmother, Mary Ann (Molly) Rogers.
It's the actual register of my
gg
grandmother's wake and the family and friends who
attended. In this booklet, it lists her
birth as June 18, 1848 in Boone Co, and her death on March 14, 1949 in Columbia. This is
Henry Clay's wife. Her interment is listed as MT. Miria CENN on
"3.20.1949 at 2 o'clock".
I'd like to also ask, in your 1998 article, you
talked of an obit on
Henry Clay
Rogers. Would you please send me a copy or send
the source where I can look at the
obit myself. I'd be very pleased to see it.
The email was
addressed to the gentleman who wrote and had an
article published in the Columbia Tribune about
Mt. Moriah Cemetery near Hallsvile. To avoid
satuaration email to him, I have omitted his name
and connection pending contact and permission.
