of Union County.
One of northern Union county's oldest
and most highly respected women,

fifteen years ago. Since the death of
the husband and father, a daughter,
Mrs. Victoria Moore, resided with the

E. L. Schmelzer, Mrs. Moore, Simeon
Fields and Jonathan Fields. Her maiden
name was Nancy Ann Atha and she
was a native of Ohio.
Funeral services were held from

J. A. Sutton of LaRue, officiating.
The remains were laid to rest in Burnside
cemetery near Arbela.

How very cool that you found this. I love it when I find info on my ancestors, especially when info on them has been hard to come by.
Bev, I think your geneology posts are my favorite!
There has been a show on TV recently about geneology called "Who Do You Think You Are"? The subjects were famous people & it was truly fascinating stuff. Sarah Jessica Parker had a relative accused of being a witch in Salem. Brooke Shields is related to a King of France. Matthew Broderick had a relative that fought at Gettysburg.
I know a few of my family members have done a little research into my mother's family. I may have to pick up where they left off and see where it takes me.
Thanks for these great posts!
