Could someone resolve a conflict re Dr. Thomas A. Eagle?? He was b in Wayne Co., OH & d in MO in 1896.
Two sources give me 2 different burial plots. One says he resides in the Eagle Family Cemetery in Macon Co., MO while a 2nd says he rests in Llyellyn Cemetery in Kirksville, Adair Co., MO. Which is correct ???
Also, when did the EAGLEs moved to MO from OH ??
Lastly, what was the date of the good Dr.'s death ???
Thanks.
