In Response To: West/Showers Family (Gerrie Stults)

Anyone have any more info on the whereabouts of James and Susan(West) Meadows? I am desc. from James' brother Greenberry. This article from a local(IL) newspaper: From the Abingdon, Illinois, Argus, 16Jan1896 "Someone hereabout saw in some western paper, an account of the drowning of one James Meadows and wife, during the recent high waters on the Neosho River, Kansas. It is believed by relatives here, that the party was a brother of the late Greenberry Meadows, as he had a brother who owned and lived on a farm along that stream. From what we can learn the couple were on some kind of craft seeking to escape, when the boat became entangled in some drift where the current was swift and in their efforts to extricate themselves from their perilous predicament, the boat was upset precipitating them into the raging river in which they perished............."
