Notes |
- Source "An Irish Legacy" by Janet (Dunn) Kochevar, pg 219:
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.
