As requested I will post this information I received from Greenwood Co.
Kansas History Book. I will do it little by little as it is a lot to type
for me. I tried scanning it and sending it on to Dick Piatt, but it was not
quite readable, so I thought I would post to the list. I will do one person
at a time.

OBITS: June 10, 1967 1872-1967

PHILIP N. PIATT 1967

Philip N. Piatt, 95, formerly of the Hamilton community, died Saturday in
the Greenwood County hospital in Eureka. He had been a resident of Modesto,
California, for many years.
Mr. Piatt, whose parents were the late Noah N. and Olive M. Bryden Piatt,
was born Feb. 20, 1872, in Monticello, ILL., and was reared in Greenwood
county. He was preceded in death by his wife, Della King Piatt, and by three
brothers and three sisters.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the First Methodist church
in Madison. Mrs. Dorsey sang "The Good Shepard" and "This Is My Father's
World and Mrs. Walter E. Erickson was the organist. Pallbears were Maynard
Tanner, Frank Piatt, Phil Piatt, John Piatt, George Eslinger and Albert
Roglin. Interment was in the Hamilton Cemetery.

The reason I wrote to this Library is because I have been on the trail of
"who my 3rd grt grd mother's parents were.
Her name was Elizabeth Hannah PIATT,brn if I remember correctly 1828, she
married an Armfield. Her daughter was Florence Armfield who married Frank
Williams, they lived in janesville WI. Their daughter was Bessie Williams my
grd mother. Bessie had 2 brothers, one was born in Kansas. Sooooo! I took a
long shot and searched for Piatts in Kansas, thinking just maybe Florence
may have gone to Kansas to visit relatives or mother? and to have her baby.
I was really surprized to find PIATTs there.

Well anyway this gives me another ave to pursue to try and find some missing
connects, if it pans out,and maybe the names of Eliz's parents. I have been
told by a found cousin that they were Moses Piatt and Jane Smith. who knows!

More to come!!! anita in CA.
