Betterton / Zinn brick wall. Please help.

Posted: 5 Dec 2005 9:57PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: BETTERTON, ZINN
My GGGrandfather, Edward (sometimes George) Betterton was born in Monett in 1874. He married a Nancy Zinn. Two children were born: Viva Zinn Mignon Betterton and Myrtle Catherine Betterton. Edward and Nancy died in a train wreck in 1907 (August?).

In looking through the censuses I find two Nancy Zinn's who could be this Nancy. Since Edward and Nancy died fairly young there is not a lot of paperwork trail left behind.

Does anyone know of a newspaper printed during the time of the train wreck that may have carried an article about the wreck? Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

~Susan
