If anyone has access to the book "Death Records from MO Newspapers Jan
1866-Dec 1870" would they please look for deaths of Mr. ARNETT, and some few
weeks later, Mrs. ARNETT, in Greene County. First names are unknown; they
are husband and wife who died within about 3 weeks of each other leaving 2
children orphans; they died ca. July 1866, but may have been as late as
1870. They were my great-grandparents. Thanks.
Flora Arnett Roe
