Note - Mary Lucy "Lou" Fisher was the sister of John Samuel Dye who married Mahettable Gerrard. Although they are living next door to each other, the above John & Hattie Dye info is not consistent with the ages & children they should have at that time. I do not find them anywhere else in 1870, so it may be them with lots of census taker error. The family should be:
John Dye, age 32, b. KY
Mahettable, age 32, b. OH
Malinda (Lena), age 10
Thea Etta (Ettie), age 9
Ida, age 7
Howard Sherman, age 3
Bertha, age 1
Mahettable Gerrard Dye did have younger siblings with some of those names - but in 1870 her younger siblings would be ages:
John Gerrard, age 31
Benjamin Gerrard, age 28
Ellen Gerrard, age 24
Joseph Gerrard, age 21
Lucy Gerrard, age 19
George Gerrard, age 17

> Kari: I'm sorry, I guess I forgot to give you dates for my Granny, Mary Effie Bone, my mother's mother. She was born 11-7-96, in Arkansas City, KS. She died November 27, 1980 (Thanksgiving Day) in Lincoln, NE, and is buried in Lincoln Memorial Park in Lincoln.

> I am not familiar with the two sons you have listed for James and Ida ... Harvey and John S. In Grandpa's "Big Black Book" (the one I keep his prison records in) he states, himself, that he has 4 brothers - James S., John R, Russell, and Harold. I believe Harold and Webb were the two youngest that came with her from Ill to care for her sister Thea. I also failed to give you Thea's date of death, which was February 15, 1906, in Arkansas City, KS. Simon and Thea were married February 23, 1883 in Palermo, Ill Simon and Thea's children were Arthur, b April 1884, Maude b January 1886, Russell b October 1887, Robert b August 1890, James b March 31 1894, Mary Effie, b November 7, 1896, Charles b 1897, Flora, b 1898.

> Don't know if you want all that information but if you do, there it is. Do you know anything about the last two sons listed for Ida and James?

> I'll ask my sister to bring the picture of Simon and Ida when she comes out Friday, and I'll scan it for you.

> Following is a verbatim quote from the Arkansas City Daily Traveler of February 16, 1906:
>
> "Died--last evening at 5:15 at her home on North Eighth Street, Mrs. Theata E. Bone, aged 44 years. The cause of death was pneumonia fever. Mrs. Bone leaves a husband and eight children. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Free Methodist Church, of which she was a member. Rev. Harris of Walton, Kas., conducting the services. Burial will be in Riverview Cemetery."
>
> Checking, find the funeral and interment was handled by Oldroyd Funeral Home and their records show only that the was 44 years, 9 months and 9 days old at the time of her death and they show that she lived on North Summit Street in Arkansas City. The records do not show her husband's name nor the names of her eight children. No information as to her parents and siblings, if any.

> This was sent to me by a gentleman on the Cowley County, Kansas list. By the way Arkansas City is pronounced Ar Kansas not like the state Arkansas. Don't know why but I do know that it is. And the Arkansas River while in Kansas is pronounced the same way.

> I wish I could find more information on Ettie. Seem to have lot more on Ida.
