While looking through some old JOYCE family papers today, I happened upon a letter dated January 27, 1931, from The St. Columba Cemetery Association, Conception, Nodaway Co., Missouri. The letter was addressed to Earl R. Joyce. It contained a listing of several “Joyce” graves from the late 1800's.

ANNA JOYCE, died 1888, age 89 years

MARY JANE JOYCE, died 1894, age 16 years

ELIZABETH JOYCE, died 1885, age 28 years

An infant of Patrick Joyce

ROBERT JOSEPH JOYCE, died 1892, age 1 year

I thought I would pass this information along just in case anyone has been searching for these people. The letter gave the cemetery section and lot numbers which I will give to anyone who is interested.
