Searching for the death and burial of William Henry Conklin 1848 Mo last located on the 1910 census Grape Grove, Ray Co., Mo. Unable to locate him in 1920. His wife Sarah Jane is buried in Van Bebber Cem but I have been unable to find him. Was told he died about 1937 in OK buy can find no record there either. Would appreciate any information. Thank you, K

Sarah Jane Rice Conklin's death certificate is online at the Missouri SOS site. She is listed as married on the certificate, but Samuel Fields gave the information. There is no mention of William Conklin on it. Both of them are my ancestors. I do not remember any mention in the family of William coming to Oklahoma, but he may have. Unfortunately, I've not found his death date and place either.

Since William was not the one to give the information, I wonder if he had died shortly before she did, yet she's not listed as widowed.

If you access the death certificate, I can tell you that Mr Fields gave the wrong birth place information. Her parents were born in Ohio, and she was born in Caldwell Co MO.

Thank you for the information on Sarahs death certificate. She does give her birth place as Ohio on the 1880 - 1910 census in Ray Co., Mo which is a ? since Reuben and Mary Rice are located in Caldwell Co., Mo on the 1850 census. My mil Alma Forson Hunter thought he was buried in Fairview Cemetery near Melrose Ks and had lived in Ok but I have not been able to find any information on his death or burial in Mo, Ks or Ok. K

The 1880 census also says that Williams father Jesse and mother Priscilla (Vercilla on the census) were born in OH, but that is false. Jesse was born in NY, and Priscilla was born possibly in TN.

Have you checked Warren Co IA? William's grandparents and some of Jesse's brothers ended up there. That's just a wild thought, but we never know.

Good luck.

Will try that, thanks, K

Still searching for death and burial information on William Henry Conklin 1848 Mo. Also unable to locate him on any census after 1910 in Ray Co., Mo. Anyone had any luck? Thank you, K
