I'm sorry, I have just really gotten you in the midst of this NASH family of
mine, lol.

No, I do not have an obit for Rebecca. The only thing that I do have is the
marriage for her and Nickson which was found in St. Francois County
Marriages, on Brian's website. I will paste here, just what I have.
I realize some of it is what I sent you earlier, so just bear with me.
******

Nixon Ketcherside and Rebecca Ann Nash both of St. Francois Co., Mo.;
married on 22 November 1873, by George W. Murphy, JP at St. Francois Co.,
Missouri.

Husband, Nickson Ketcherside's obit, gives Rebecca Ann's maiden name as
Creavy, while the marriage certificate gives her name as Rebecca Anne Nash.
Some land ownership records list her name as Rebecca Anne Nash, while others
list it as Rebecca Anne McCreavy.

Her brother (or half-brother), Joseph is given as Joseph McCravy, on his
stone in the Adams Cemetery.

Rebecca is the daughter of Margaret J. "Aunt Peggy" Nash, whose second
husband was Henry Nash, and whose first husband was a McCravy (McCreavy).
*****

If you can find an obit for Rebecca, I would love to have it. I know that
she died before Nickson, and is also buried in the Adams Cemetery.

Hugs,
Joyce
