Notes for John W. Edwards

from Claudia A Tillman, Box 1151, Silverdale, WA 98383:

I visited Pettis Co., MO in June 2000 and Ted Fisher brought me to the LeMonte Cemetery in the Blackwater Township. We were looking for my Fisher Family graves and spotted the tombstone for John and his wife. It is a good size piece of black granite and has the verse" A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, Which never more can be filled." J. W Edwards, born 27 June 1836 and died 7 Oct 1915, and His wife Lucy A., born 4 July 1842 and died 20 Feb 1934. Both of their births are several years later than I had thought (John 1827 and Lucy 1833).

There are two other Edwards stones in LaMonte Cemetery. Sudie Edwards Marlow is near John and Lucy and Nettie Edwards-Idol-Sevedge born 1870, died 1946 is not far off. Nettie may also be one of their children.
