Name: Janice Kelsey
Family notes say that one of my KLOUCHEK gggrandmothers
was buried near Union Star, DeKalb County, MO. The information is
hard to read and I think it says Oak Grove Cemetery. I placed a
query and lookup request for Oak Grove Cemetery, near Union Star
in Missouri ROOTS-L and was told this person couldn't find a
cemetery by that name. I thought that there might be a cemetery
by that name, but that it had been abandoned or that those
looking were mistaken. One person suggested the name of the
cemetery was Ogle Grove.
This gggrandmother would have come from Bohemia, b. ca 1824 d.
after 1866. Husband's name would have been Frantisek or Frank. I
haven't been able to locate a census record for this family, but
know they were living in DeKalb County prior to 1880. Any
information would be appreciated.

Could you please see if you can find any information for us on
one Levi PETERSON or his family. The person you may have
records about would be his son Walter O. Peterson. We have
letters from him in DeKalb County Missouri from 1914. He then
moved to Kansas in 1915 from letters we have.
Levi left Ohio in sometime after 1850 and we have no trace of him until he returns in the late 1870s. There are no records of his movement that we can find at this time. Levi's other sons are Ernest, Issac and his wife "Missouri" (maiden name unknown, possibly Clemmens), William, and Obediah (he went by Obed) A.
Walter O. Peterson has a daughter named Emily that married John Garretson and then moved to Soldier, Kansas and opened a general store named Garretson. He also had a younger son named Delmer. Both were born in Ohio.
As you can see they moved around alot, and that has made it hard to track them. If you can get us any information about these people if they were in your county it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph C. Fults joe@netexp.net

I am looking for information about Charles and Margaret (McCAUGHTRY)
HOBBS. They were married in Beaver Co, PA, 23 Jan 1845.
They were living in DeKalb Co, MO, in 1877. The following is an
excerpt from a journal written by my great-grandfather Oscar
Almon McFARLAND in 1895:
"(In August 1877, Jno. T. Ronayne and I) arrived in Stewartsville, Kalb Co, Missouri, Tuesday morning and that afternoon walked out to Chas. Hobb's place. Mr. Hobbs was a great uncle of mine, having married a sister of grandmother McFarland. Aunts Nina and Maggie had gone to MO that summer or the one previous to teach school and were then staying with Mr. Hobbs' family. We received a warm welcome upon our arrival and were given to understand that we must stay there while in that locality. The family was a very pleasant one and our stay with them was pleasant. During those bright autumn days we had many a fine ride on horseback, that being the usual mode of traveling. We also did some work in the line of hay making, corn cutting, etc. Maggie and Nina secured schools, and I also secured a fall term in a district about one mile south of Stewartsville....After giving up this school we went back to Hobbs for a time. I soon secured another school some seven miles from Uncle Hobbs'....on Friday evenings (I) rode over to Hobbs'....I resigned before the term closed and returned to Iowa in Jan'y or Feb'y."
