I took a little time tonight to work online on William Gwin whom we found in the 1850 and 1860 Macoupin Co., IL censuses (censi?).

. *Elias Gwin* and *Rebecca Beckham* and *Tabitha Weatherford* .

There is a George Gwin family on the same page as William in 1850. George was born abt 1788 in VA. I decided to google for him and got this:

I have seen this Elias Gwin connection in Virginia a lot on the web. I gather either he isn't in our lines, or isn't related at all. Do you guys know anything about him? (Incidentally, I am also related to the Meek family, most likely. Joe Meek, the mountain man was the son of a Walker woman, and also probably the cousin of Joseph Reddeford Walker and Joel Walker, two other famous mountain men.)

The first issue, dated April 8, 1905, was published on Saturdays, with W. E. Stockmyer [referred to as Edd], as Editor. In October 1905, when Mr. and Mrs. Stockmyer left Kansas for New Mexico, publication changed from Saturdays to Fridays and J. Frank Pool replaced Mr. Stockmyer as Editor. At that point, the paper was considerably expanded; in addition to community news, coverage also included courthouse news and property transfers/deeds. Another editorial change occurred in October 1906 when Mr. Pool retired and Harry E. Luman became Editor. These extracts have been copied as accurately as possible, but errors may still occur. Minor printing errors have been corrected, but otherwise the information is presented as it originally appeared. Please consult the individual reel to verify an item. I do not have any further information about these individuals or families.

She had a very severe attack of pneumonia fever. She leaves an aged husband, three boys and two girls - all married.

John,

I came upon your website pertaining to the Gwin's and need some help placing these two guys. They were in William and Jane Gwin's household in 1850 in Macoupin Co, IL. I'm attaching a family sheet including documentation.

I would appreciate corresponding with you on these families. I have corresponded with Darlene Almer but think I have a bit more actual documentation.

I look forward to hearing from you.

At the bottom of the pages, it lists Raymond L. Streeter as the producer; however, I'm doing this for him and his family. He is the actual descendant of Elias Gwin.

Word was received here this morning of the death of James Guinn, who had been with his daughter at
Dunkirk, Okla. Mr. Guinn was one of the old settlers in the south part of the county, The Guinn
schoolhouse south of the city having been named for him. He had been in poor health for several weeks
at the home of his daughter. Undertaker Konantz was notified of his death, and that the body would be
shipped here. Arrangements for the funeral will be announced later.

The funeral of the late James Gwinn whose death occurred at Dunkirk, Kan., Thursday evening, will
be held Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the Fairview school house, and interment will be made in the

_______________________________________________________
Obit - The Fort Scott Tribune, June 20, 1910, Page 6
James H. Guin was born in Macoupin county, Ill., on December 23, 1835, and died at the home of his
daughter in Crawford county, Kan., June 16, 1910, at the age of 76 years 2 months, 21 days. He was
married to Eliza Mayberry October 1857. In 1861 he accepted Christ as his savior and became a member
of the Methodist church, in which faith he continued until death. In 1866 he moved with his family to
Kansas and located six miles south of this city, where he has since continued his residence. His life
companion was called to the better world a few years ago. He leaves five children and several
grandchildren to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted Sunday at 1 p.m. from the Pleasant
View school house by Rev. L. G. Wood of the Brethren church. James Guin was well known throughout
the county and was highly respected by all who knew him, which was evidenced by the large concourse
of sympathizing friends who attended the funeral. He was a loyal citizen, a good neighbor, a kind father
and a devoted Christian. May these characteristics be held in sacred memory to help and bless the living.
His last request was that his grandsons act as pallbearers and bear his body to its resting place, which
request was carried out in full, and interment was made at Pleasant View cemetery by the side of his
companion.

Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Meyers, of 623 South Barbee, passed away at Mercy Hospital this

Mrs. Meyers was a highly respected and a kind and loving mother. She was possessed of
a strong and charitable disposition and bore her long illness with fortitude and cheerfulness,
with always a kind word for those about her and with due solicitation for their comforts.
Mrs. Meyers was about 55 years of age.
The funeral will take place at the Cheney Chapel Friday, September 28, at 2 p.m.,

______________________
The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Meyer was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the Cheney chapel, 119 South Main St. conducted by Rev. L. G. Wood, of the Brethren
church.
Rev. Wood took his text from Psalms 23:1: "Yea, though I walk thru the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me."
A trio consisting of Mrs. Thurman Orr, Vern Dixon, and L. G. Wood sang the songs,
"Beautiful Garden of Prayer."; "Where the Gates Swing Outward Never", and "I Need Thee
Every Hour."
Among the many floral offerings was a beautiful double spray of snap dragons inscribed
"Mother".
Interment was made in the family lot in the Evergreen cemetery. The pall bearers were W.
F. Farris, C. C. Packer, C. A. Culp, Geo. Hare, Charles M. Grimes and G. R. Hughes.

**Note by Darlene Dobbins Almer, Great Granddaughter of Elizabeth Meyers - Notably
absent from this obituary are the children of daughter, Blanche Fetters - Claude, Cleota, Opal
and Louise (my Mother, Cleota, and her siblings). I don't know who provided information
for the newspaper but for whatever reason, they left out these Grandchildren as survivors.
They apparently had already been sent to Oklahoma to the Brown household (relatives by
marriage to the Gwin family).

here yesterday with Alex Mason of Fulton through whom the deal was consumated, and
returned home last night after completing the purchase of the land. The Gallagher ranch is
one of the well known tracts of Bourbon County, and has been owned by that family for a
number of years.

FRED A. STREETER
Funeral services for Fred A. Streeter, 88, born in a government building on the Plaza,
where his parents took refugee from Price's raiders, and a lifelong resident, were held at 1:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Konantz chapel. The chapel was well filled, many from
the Garland and Godfrey communities attending the services, as well as friends from Devon
and other points in the county. Mr. Streeter's family was one of the early pioneer families of
the county, homesteading seven miles south of Fort Scott.
The widow is the former Ida Guinn, after whose family the Guinn school south of Fort
Scot was named. Much of the original data for C. W. Goodlander's "Early Days of Fort
Scott: was supplied by Mr. Streeter.
The services were conducted by the Rev. W. F. Keesecker, who paid a tribute to the long
and useful life of the deceased, and to the pioneer spirit which built the community and
established traditions of self-reliance and honor which still live. Lloyd Wright and Earl
Konantz sang solos, accompanied by Mrs. Doris Jones.
Interment was in the family lot in Large cemetery south of the city. Pallbearers were
Clyde Lee, Leander Colvin, Ernest Sharpless, Ray Simmons, Claude Piper and Jim Neal.

SCOTT FELL DEAD
_________________________
Death Came Very Suddenly to Wm. E.
Scott This Morning, Just After He
Had Been Shaved
__________________________
Death came very suddenly this morning to William E. Scott, as the result of heart failure,
just after Joe Long, a barber at the Sam Rudkin shop, had finished shaving him. Although
he appeared indisposed this morning, nobody suspected his condition was serious,
especially in view of the fact that he laughed and joked with those in the barber shop. He
carried on a conversation with Joe Long while the latter was shaving him, and seemed to be
in fairly good spirits. Just after Long had finished shaving him and was powdering his face,
Mr. Scott commenced to slip from the barber chair. Mr. Long and others present saw he
had suffered some kind of a stroke, and succeeded in preventing him from coming to the
floor heavily. The extremities became cold within a very brief space of time. It is thought
Mr. Scott was dead by the time he struck the floor.
Dr. E. B. Payne was called immediately and it took but a short time to determine that
Mr. Scott was dead. The Cheney pulmotor was called just after Mr. Scott had suffered the
stroke and although it was brought at once and immediately put into use, it had no effect.
Mr. Scott, who was a man of 47 years of age, had been a resident of this county for
many years, having for the greater part of the time made his home in Godfrey and that
neighborhood. He removed to this city from Godfrey about three years ago and took charge
of the restaurant at No. 9 Market street, which he has since conducted.
The deceased is survived by a wife, Mrs. Cora Scott, and three daughters, Ida, Ina, and
Iva.
Mr. Scott had always been in good health until about two weeks ago, when he became
indisposed, probably as the result of over work. He was a man who would persist in
working as long as there was any task to be performed, and this fact might have had

something to do with the fatal stroke which he suffered this morning.
About two weeks ago, Mr. Scott became indisposed, and his wife and daughters, who
had been helping him at the restaurant, tried to prevail upon him not to work at nights, as
had been his practice. During the past few days, his condition seeming to be worse, he had
finally been induced to quit working for several nights and he had not worked since Monday
night. Last night he told his daughters he felt considerably better and he insisted on working
all night. However, his daughters would not allow him to do so, and so he finally retired,
with the promise that he would be sure to be down to the restaurant today to help them
through the dinner hour.
True to his promise, Mr. Scott came down town this morning and was preparing for the
days work. He told the barbers at the Rudkin shop that he was feeling considerably better
today than he had for several days and this was borne out by the fact that he laughed and
joked as usual.
Mr. Scott, according to the statement of a physician who had been attending him, had
been afflicted with heart trouble for more than a year. The physician said this morning that
when he examined Mr. Scott about a year ago, he found that his heart was missing about
every third beat. He advised him not to work at nights.
The funeral of Mr. Scott will be held tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock from the
Christian church. Rev. W. Y. Allen officiating, and interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
The services will be in charge of the M. W. A. of which the deceased had for a long time
been a member. The pall bearers will be chosen from among the members of the three
lodges to which the deceased belonged, the M. W. A., Red Men, and Knights and Ladies of
Security.
