JoAnn, I think you may have missed the point of the email... :-)...
because "Page 26 lists Wilford Granville and Mary Virginia (Oliver) Bishop
and children." which information you may not have ever seen before...
goes all the way down to a woman named Dorothy (Regan) Bishop... who
just might be related to you... :-)... had never seen the "The Olivers"
document before a couple of days ago, but guess it's well known among
local genealogists...
Will keep an eye out for an email from the someone that you mention...
where was it that you said you live now?... Bill Bishop

Hi, Bill. I'm not looking for Olivers; I was looking for Oliver
Mitchell. However, I was going to contact you. You might get an email
from Gloria Sargent Reagan/Ron Reagan regarding a gentleman that Ron
helped last week with his wrecker service. The gentleman said he was a
nephew or great nephew of Harry Bishop. It was unclear which Harry but
he told Ron that he knew he had relatives in Montgomery City.
Thanks for the info re the Olivers, though. I probably should
investigate the possiblity that Oliver Mitchell's mother or grandmother
might have been an Oliver. I'm not doing this for myself but for
someone in Iowa who wrote to the Genealogical Society.

More from the Reagans. Just got off the phone with cousin Vince Reagan. He
definitely knew Wilford "Bill" Bishop and said he thought he knew your dad. Cousin
Bill Reagan is sure he knew your dad, too. Both of them thought I was corresponding
with a much older man and Vince said he thought Bill Bishop was dead. I told them
that you were my age and Vince wasn't sure who you were. Hope this helps. I am sure
that Bill Reagan would correspond with you if you want. Vince is pretty far away but
he will be in Missouri this spring if all goes as he plans. Vince remembered about
Wilford marrying Leola's friend and fellow teacher after Mary Virginia Oliver Bishop
died. He told me the story before I read it on your website. You Bishops are
interesting people. The Reagans seem to rarely marry twice after a spouse dies.

I think my cousin Bill (born 1931) probably knew your dad. I had heard my
father speak of Melvin Bishop as being in the armed forces with a career. My cousin
Vince most certainly knew them. Vince lives in Washington state and is currently the
oldest member of the family. Thanks for the info and happy genealogy hunting! You
have a great website. Jo Ann Reagan

JoAnn, most likely I [William Frank Jr and Patricia Ann (Mulholland)
Bishop Family] (1944-) have never met your cousin Bill Reagan... guess it's possible
tho he may have known my father William Frank Bishop (1921-1978) [William Frank and
Marjorie Frances (Baker) Bishop Family] years ago... dad (and his brother Melvin Roy
Bishop [Melvin Roy and Ruby Ann (Sims) Bishop Family]) was born and raised in Mexico,
Audrain, Missouri, and went to the Mexico High School there about 1935-39... both dad
and Melvin were in the Army National Guard in Mexico after high school and when their
unit was activated during WW II both went to England then to France and Germany to
fight... Dad got out of the Army about July 1945, came back to Mexico and settled
near Laddonia to farm with his uncle Bill and Nettie (Bishop) Wyss while Melvin went
on to a full 20 year career in the Army... in 1949 dad bought a 240 farm in western
Audrain county which he sold in 1964 moving to Centralia, Boone, Missouri, where he
built a house... I was raised on the farm in the 1950s and early 1960s... went to
Friendship Country School 2nd thru 8th grade then to Centralia High School 1958-61...
then to the University of Missouri 1961-1966 and into the US Air Force in March 1966 -
September 1969... from then on lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Wichita, Kansas,
to Melbourne, Florida... laided off in January 1991 and moved to Columbia,
Missouri... then went to Kalamazoo, Michigan, from January 1994 till June 1996 and
came back to Columbia, Missouri, which is where I'm at now... it's also possible that
your cousin may have known another William/Bill Bishop but don't know who that might
have been at this time... ttyl... Bill Bishop http://mlug.missouri.edu/~wbishop/

My cousin Bill Reagan was visiting yesterday and he thinks he might know you? Did you
grow up in Missouri? Who is your dad? Have a good day, Jo Ann Reagan

JoAnn, based on what you are saying then looks like Dave and Charles Bishop are the
sons of Harry Samuel and Mary Belle (Groby) Bishop Family as I note that Dave Stanhope
Bishop Senior (Jonesburg, MO) has a brother Charles Arthur Bishop (High Hill, MO)...
haven't conversed with Dave in a good many months and recently when I tried to use his
Ktis email address it didn't seem to work... I have no knowledge really of who knows
who or who is friends with whom among our Bishop line... about all I know is what I
can guess based on what I have in the Friends of Bishop Genealogy website and what I
might read from an obituary... :-)... in actually fact I'm pretty much an outsider
in our general Bishop klan...

I really don't know which son goes with which father (David and Charles Bishop). Gail
Robinson is indeed Larry's dad. The Bill Reagan is J. Dave Reagan's oldest son and
Dorothy's second cousin. I thought you were corresponding with David Bishop? If you
are, that is the same one who was a casketbearer. Charles is the same age as Helen
Fay Bishop Jansen, Dorothy's daughter. He grew up in Jonesburg area, if that helps.
I think Carl Porter is Dorothy's cousin on Alma's side. There were two Carls, as I
recall, and I couldn't tell you which one was the casketbearer. Hope this helps.

Reference: Wendell Marvin and Dorothy Lucille (Reagan) Bishop Family
JoAnn, mostly wanted to make sure I had the two children (Robert Wendell Bishop and
Helen Fay (Bishop) Jansen) correct in name and number on the family webpage... don't
want to get too deep into detail... have added your email in the Family Notes and
based on it made a few minor changes to the upper body of the family webpage...
In Dorothy's obituary it's stated "Casketbearers include Carl Porter, Calvin
Bishop, Dave Bishop, Charles Bishop, John Simpson and Don Cuno. Honorary
casketbearers include Bill Reagan, Gail Robinson, Donald Truitt, Bob River
and Dewitt Whylie."... I think I know who Calvin Bishop would be... but who are the
parents of Dave Bishop and Charles Bishop?... I'm guessing Gail Robinson might be
related to Beverly (Sublette) Robinson's husband Larry (maybe his father) but don't
know for sure... Thanks for your input... Bill Bishop
