DEATH/BURIAL:

• **Shelt-Noel Cemetery.

Letter from Kathleen Browning, July, 1992, to Alison Agins: "...said to have spent her last years in the "lost her mind" state as it was termed at that time. Now it has become Alzheimers, but different forms of schizophrenic behavior are most every family... Samson farm on Indian Creek...it is the farm that Alex and his wife lived on until death as well as Bent & Wes. Wes was the only one of the originals that was not well balanced."

• **Need to try to find death certificate from Newton Co., MO instead of McDonald Co as previously tried.
