A young man named SANDERS, age about 21 years, now living in Sheridan township, while residing in Arkansas twelve years ago, accidentally had a bullet shot into the bridge of his nose, from which he has since suffered pains in his head. Lately Dr. L.R. SELLERS cut the bullet of the young man's neck, below the right ear.

See below for 1870 census on

Linn County, KS and Rice County, KS are not close to each other but I
still suspect George W. and
Alexander could be brothers. It is
something that should be
investigated.

Gracie, it looks like they are saying West Virginia some of the
time as to
where they came from. West Virginia was made a state in 1863,
mostly from
Virginia lands. See if you
can find if any other states became a part of
West Virginia to look for
George W. Sellers and Alexander Sellers.
I have
tried to find George Sellers
and wife Elizabeth in 1850 and have had no luck
so far.

You also asked about whom to contact for obits, I think probably :
Ola May Earnest, "President"
Linn County Historical
Society
"Vice President",
Linn Co., Genealogical Society
P. O. Box 137
Pleasanton, Kansas 66075
They published this
cemeteries book back in 1987..and you'll note above in
your family she has made a
note about the obituary discrepantcy.
Also, if
you ever need other lookups,
it would be appreciated if you have the census
to send the TWP. where they
lived, as this book is indexed by TWP's, not
that you would have known
that, but its 778 pages in size. Where in Iowa do
you do lookups. I might have some business for you
later.....Ha!
Good Luck and hope I was of
help.
Sincerely, Janice
