Life on the farm

[buckeyefarmer]

My gg gf married Sarah Adams b1853 of Sedalia mo. Got several undocumented photos labeled Sedalia. Don’t know if they are her as a baby, or other relatives at a later date. View attachment 661771

GG gf was born local in 1846, last of 10 children. His father was born in Ireland 1791 and came to US around 1831. GGG gf bought farm next to our farm in 1852. He passed it to my GG gf, who passed it to my Ggm. She sold it around 1955. Dad had already bought farm next door around 1948.

I believe I had found out the Adams had lived in this area, then moved to Sedalia. The baby pics are probably her nieces or nephews.

Those forks are the same we used with square bales. I've got them.

Sarah’s (my GG grandmy)family moved from Ohio to Sedalia MO around 1870 (after civil war), when she was 17. Her mom is Hannah Adams(1828-1875)(father James Adams), buried in Crown hill cemetery Sedalia Mo, my GGG grandmother.
Her sister Ruth Adams Stevens married Charles Stevens, they also buried at Crown Hill.
She had 7 other siblings.

One of the pictures I have is labeled “with the Stevens” some of steven kids lived up to 1980.

Looks like a large cemetery on google, not a little church. I would like to visit sometime.
In 2017 I stayed at Boonville MO on a trip, if I’d only known then, but I didn’t.

Once in awhile I get down to that area. Next time I'm going I'll bump you for these names. I would gladly visit the cemetary and get pics of the tombstones for you.

That would be cool. I’m sure I still have relatives there, just don’t know.

I download crown hill burial records. I found Ruth Stevens listed, but grave location unknown.


I have copy of Hannah obit from 1875. She was 46.

There’s one labeled Mrs Adams, died 1/4/1875 ( obit dated 1/11/1875 says died yesterday).
Lot 1, block 11, grave 1

This is location of Mrs Adams.
Might not be a stone still there

Mr Adams died 10/22/1883 in lot 33, block 7, grave 1.

This might be her husband, only date close.

Sorry for blurry screenshot, just wanted to document.
