CARR, HOCKNEYposted by Susie Boyce on Friday, October 30, 1998My cousin obtained the death certificate of James B. HOCKNEY who died March 20, 1917 of "severe and extensive burns from waist down caught from forest fire." Is there a source in Marion County, such as the historical society or library, which might have access to a newspaper account of this fire or an obituary for James Hockney? James Hockney was probably living with his daughter and son-in-law Watson and Lydia CARR. We do not know when they moved to Florida (although it was after 1910) or why. They had lived previously in Wisconsin after immigrating from England about 1890. |
MCCLELLANposted by Gayle McClellan-Powell on Thursday, November 5, 1998I'm hoping someone may be able to help me find the parents of Robert Artman MCCLELLAN b.June 25, 1892 in Early Bird, FL according to his death certificate. I sent away to the county for his birth records but they could not find him. I believe his father Otis or Othie MCCLELLAN was working on one of the railroads nearby. Supposedly Otis McClellan was born in Ohio in 1866, but I can't locate him there. Does anyone know which railroads may have been in the area of Early Bird in the early 1890's? I have not been able to find this family in any census records anywhere. Any help will be appreciated. |
