Surname: Amos, Waller, Beckett
-------------------------

I assume that you are aware of the 1982 book Our Amos Family compiled
by Sara McFadden Amos and published privately by Robert W. Amos of Cambridge,
Ohio. If not, the following are two excerpts I copied from it. These were
about the two sons of John Major Amos and Mary Elizabeth Waller.
- On page 20 was: Harry Waller Amos, son of John Major Amos and his second
wife, Mary Elizabeth Waller, was born March 9, 1876, in Caldwell, Ohio,
and died September 29, 1949, in Cambridge, Ohio. He is buried in the Amos
lot in Northwood Cemetery in Cambridge. On June 27, 1901, Harry married
Elizabeth Rose Davies, daughter of Jacob Reese and Clara (Crabbe) Davies
of Newark. Elizabeth was born July 11, 1875 and died in Coshocton, Ohio
on September 6, 1969. She is buried beside her husband in the Amos lot
in Northwood Cemetery.
- On page 30 was: Frank Belford Amos; b. Nov. 2, 1881 in Caldwell, Ohio;
m. Mary Oella St. Clair in 1909, no children; d. July 18, 1965 at Anderson,
Indiana. He was in sales and auto advertising located in New York City
and in 1939 became president of the Jeffersonian Newspaper in Cambridge.
Also an accomplished violinist.

The book is in the genealogical room of the Guernsey County Library in
Cambridge.
