In my message that disappeared was some info that I failed to include in the second message of mine.

When Jane J Callahan married 23 Dec 1894, her husband took the parents and children to St Francois Co. His new inlaws were in dire straits in Wayne Co.

Wm Arthur went to Montana and then to CA. Both he and his second wife are deceased. I did meet his first wife and children in Montana years ago.

I contacted his work place and told them things to prove who I was. They showed me the scrap of info about where he was born: Greenville, Wayne Co.

I think that Jane may have been born in St Francois Co.

Jane and her husband lived all over St Francois Co due to his work and his land ownings. I was in that area as a child passing through. Later I took my mother to that area to see what we could. No one was interested in family history and though we looked and looked the week we were there, we found nothing. Now I know that people were indeed alive and there was info. Now my mother is gone [today is her death date].

My grandfather was a mining supervisor. He supervised the setting up of new equipment. He might be way out on one of his farms when the mines needed him. A man on horse was sent to find him and ask him to come in. He belonged to the Odd Fellows Lodge there and in CA.

I said in my posted message that I may remember more than I have written here if I am asked about something.
