Today was my field trip to Coffey County, Kansas. My first stop was at the LeRoy Cemetery just west of LeRoy, Kansas.
I stopped and found the graves of my family there. Not all of them, but the ones that I knew or suspected were there. The above picture is of the Larison Family plot. To the right of the Larison family is a double stone for VW and Pauline Crotts. Pauline was a daughter to Abel and Hannah Sellers Larison.
I was able to locate two marriage records and several obituaries. The information found in those obituaries will probably result in another trip to Coffey County in the future.
All in all, it was a very productive trip. I learned a lot about my ancestors today. I love it when they're forthcoming with information on who they were.
All I had to do was ask them to show me who they were. They did, oh did they show me who they were.
