    Leona Mae Hughes, born 1930, married 20-Oct-1950 to
    Martin Lynn Allen at the Marble Creek United Church in Ar-
    cadia, Mo. and the ceremony was performed by Lynn's half
    brother, Rev. Raymond Milburn. Lynn was born 26-June-1921
    on Marble Creek, Arcadia, Mo. Lynn and Leona have a trailer
    court at Ironton where they live, and her parents sold their
    5 room house and lived in a trailer there for a while. Alma
    and Virgil have moved back to Denver where they live near
    some of her children and grandchildren. Leona went with
    her mother in the cold (to avoid snakes) and tramped through
    the weeds to record all the graves at Emily's Chapel Cemetery
    several years ago. Some of the stones had settled in the
    ground and they had had to dig down to unearth them. I had
    taken pictures at the cemetery, but didn't get a chance
    to record it, so was very happy to receive a copy from Alma
    as she knew all the family connections and many of the un-
    marked graves, which were not in the Cemetery Book of Iron
    County that I have. Lynn and Leona have two children, 1.
    Kenneth Dwayne, born 24-July-1957, and 2. Dorothy Marie,
    born 14-Oct-1961, both at St. Marys of the Ozarks Hospital,
    Ironton, Mo.

    Louisa Emaline "Eliza" (Campbell) Lewis, Postmistress of Sabula, MO, the submitter's great-grandmother. From the submitter: "Eliza widowed, raising her grandchildren one was my dad, Donal Lewis. My Uncle Charles did her paperwork needed for the post office. This is how they survived in the Great Depression. My grandpa (her son John) worked in St. Louis and any odd jobs he could find and picked (gleaned) black eyed peas 'Hoover Peas' (that's what they called them back them) in fields after they were harvested by a farmer. He would then help his mom Eliza with food for his children. My grandma left my grandfather for seven years I was told. During that time great grandma raised my daddy and his siblings, all seven."

    John and Emaline sold 5 acres of ground to the Methodist Episcopal Church South in a warranty deed dated 10-Sept-1870 and filed 8-Mar-1887. It was recorded in book 33-Pg-611 Iron County and $50 was paid for the land. It was in Section 28, Twp. 21 N Range 3 E and was a little North of where Little Carver Creek runs into Carver Creek. In the mid 1880's, the Lewis and McKenzie families built the church that would be known as Emily's Chapel sharing in the labor and cost of materials. Janet's dad's cousin Kathyrn (McKenzie) Vickery said her father helped to build the benches when he was 15 and he was born in 1871.
