Bob,
Maybe the baby was buried without permission. There is a story in my family that very young baby twins were buried in a cemetery which had been used by the family. But when they decided to start using another cemetery the twins were moved by the father
himself at night. Calvary was not one of these cemeteries.
As to strangers in a family plot, it is my understanding that sometimes when a family did not need all the spaces, arrangements could be made for it to be sold or given to an indiv
Dear Judy,
You can contact the archives/alumnae director at St. Joe for any information they have on past students. A friend of mine from the Class of 1955 used to have that job, but she's been retired for several years. I don't know the name of the new person, but I know they have a collection of old yearbooks. The address of the school is 2307 South Lindbergh, St. Louis, MO 63131.
Hope this helps,
Betty Torno

6038 Horton Place is not in Wellston, MO ... it is in the City of St. Louis.
So you need to check records in the City of St. Louis, not St. Louis
County, for more information.

Thanks for responding -- that's what I thought. Luckily an old certificate
was uncovered from the family archives...and now the trip has to be cancelled
for other reasons. All I have to do is sit in one spot and life changes
constantly. Peggy

There was a Hanora Quirk with a daughter Katy living with Hanora's
son-in-law, James Brady and his wife Mary Quirk Brady, 1900 census. This is
a family I was looking at as a possible ancestor to me but as yet
undetermined. Contact me privately if you want more information.

The St. Louis Co Library has on microfiche copies of old cemetery records
including Calvary. If you can get a copy it can be a gold mine of information.
I found out who bought the plot, people who where moved from other places,
etc. It helped me find many family members I did not know about.
It is a great source. It shows info that is not on the Archdiocesan web
site.
Could some kind soul lead me to a source for a lookup in a St. Louis City
Directory about 1940?
I'm looking for the street address of George and Mary Schulte on Osceola
Street (the Dutchtown area).

If anyone has access to old newspapers please do a look-up for me?
My mother died in a fire in Feb.1946 at 6038 Horton Pl in Welston, Mo. Seems her husband & her were living in a garage.
Gertrude Teresa (Block) (Gill) Miller was married to (or living with) Eugene J. Miller. He was accused/questioned in her death. I have newspaper clippings regarding this.
I dodn' know if Eugene was ever charged and/or convicted or if her death was ruled an accident and this is what I need a look-up about.

Re-check the email you got from Scott with the link. Sometimes the link
gets truncated and puts you at the wrong webpage, one that you don't have
permission to access. If you only go to http://usgennet.org you can view
