My name is David S Bishop. My family & I cleaned The Harris/Maupin Cemetery about 20 years ago. I am including pictures taken at the time. Several stones were buried under several inches of debris (including Jane's and to a lessor degree, Jarrot's). We found them by pushing a probe into the ground. I fear that the cemetery may be in a poor state as the owners of the property had been allowing their cows to pasture among the stones (many stones were broken and trampled). I don't know for sure about its present condition as I've not been there in many years. Perhaps Bill or others might know. I have other pictures taken that day. >> I am a Harris family descendant...and Howell Bishop shows up in my files. I don't have anything on HIM, but his wife, Minnie Frances Harris is in my line. Her father, Jarrot Harris, was married first to Ida Price, after she died abt. 1889, he married Effie (ADELAIDE) Harris. I don't have Effie's parents, but my info says her grandfather was Alanson Harris. Looks like they may have been distant cousins. Anyway, I have Minnie's siblings if you want them... also her father Jarrot's parents and >> JoAnn Whitaker whitaker@cyberatl.net ---- Subject: Re: Harris Cemetery.... Date: 6 Feb 1998 From: "David S. Bishop Sr." davidsbishopsr@email.msn.com To: "JoAnn Whitaker" whitaker@cyberatl.net Hi David.... I can't thank you enough for the pictures!! It's amazing that these stones survived at all, given the conditions you described. They are surely gone by now. You said you have other pictures taken that day? If you have photos of the other Harris stones located there, I'd love to have those as well...they are all my family. If you can scan and send by email, as you did these, that would be great. I have a very good printer and can print on glossy paper with excellent results. Let me know. Thanks again....your family's efforts that day, 20 years ago, are truly appreciated! Jo JoAnn, Thanks for the note. I'm away from MO for a few days, but will review my pictures when I return late next week and will send any that I feel you may be interested in. We so wish we had done more... like erecting a fence to keep the cows out! We were impressed at the time that so many of the people buried there were children and young adults (0 - 18 yrs). Many stones stated that they died of "Consumption". No doubt many could have been saved with today's medical knowledge. Just surviving must have been hard for them. Unfortunately, we didn't take as many pictures as we should have. Looking back, I wish we would have photographed every stone. How valuable would a few dollars spent on developing expense be at this point? We did make some written notes from some of the stones... will transcribe and send as time permits. While we were there at the cemetery, we could only imagine the many challenges faced by our pioneer ancesters. Feelings of solumn gratitude and respect engulfed each of us. Perhaps a few interested members of the family can return once again to the cemetery this summer to evaluate and formulate a plan for its restoration and preservation.

Bishop Sr." davidsbishopsr@email.msn.com Hello, I am sending this to both you and Bill, since I know he is great about seeing that everyone gets the messages... I believe the Harris Cemetery land now belongs to one of the Montgomery County Genealogical Society members. She expressed interest to me one day at who the people buried on her land might have been. I haven't seen her to tell her that Martha Maupin is the first wife of my great great grandfather and get permission to go back to it. I expect to see her Tuesday at our meeting. I will broach the subject then and I expect Beverly Robinson and myself will venture over there one decent day soon..... Another thing I wanted to mention is that this past week at Western Historical Manuscripts, a part of Ellis Library in Columbia I ran across Harris and Oliver Cemetery records compiled in 1932 by H. B. Dickey. I will type these off and get them to Bill as soon as I can. I trust you, Bill, will share with all interested family members. If you use these recoords you must give credit to Western Historical Manuscripts. I feel there may be differences between what was readable in 1932 versus the more recent versions. I hope you are all as excited as I am at finding these. Nancy Hale Lee http://www.ktis.net/~nllee/ ---- Subject: Cemeteries Date: 07 Feb 98 From: nllee@ktis.net (Nancy L. Lee) I got busy and typed this all up. I am sorry to have neglected the Bishop lines the last couple of weeks. I have new contacts on Ohio ancestors of my children on their Cramblit and Eichor lines. So I have been frantically gathering up dates and pictures to send off.... Another find at Western Historical Manuscripts last week was the Shamrock-Wellsville Telephone Company records... included Clements and Bishops... If I remember correctly the time frame was 1905 on forward. I didn't copy any of it. Mostly who paid for phone poles and membership dues. Here are the cemeteries...enjoy!.... Now SOMEBODY connect Greenberry Bishop to you guys!!!! Nancy Hale Lee http://www.ktis.net/~nllee/ ---- Subject: Harris/Maupin Cemetery Pictures Date: 16 Feb 1998 From: "David S.

Cemetery After Cleanup
I promised to send more pictures of the Harris/Maupin Cemetery. As mentioned before these were taken about 20 years ago when our family attempted to clean-up the area. Those pictured include my brother, Charles and his sons Matt and Philip, plus my family... self and Sue (wife), sons David and Dan. No doubt you've visited the Harris/Maupin Cemetery article on the Bill's web site detailing information from each stone recorded in 1969. Hopefully you have found the desired info there. Also see recent updates provided by Nancy Lee concerning information collected earlier from the cemetery (1930's)... Bill has placed on the net... see February Updates. The pictures attached show the cemetery before, during and after our efforts. We had a great time that day as a family and could only imagine the countless varied experiences shared by our ancestors there on the farm. We are hoping to get an update soon on the cemetery's present condition from family and friends still located in the area. These pictures will occupy lots of storage memory... delete or save to disk as desired after viewing. I hope they may be of interest. [Includes pictures of Harris-Maupin Cemetery before clean-up.
