Great Grandpa (find, search, certificate, grandmother)

[stagracing]

Im looking for information on my Great Grandpa whom lived in Cabool, Missouri. I heard from family members that he was a marshal for Cabool Missouri, in the early 1900's. His name is Woodly T. Johnson. I just recently found out that he is buried in Hamilton County Cemetary which is just outside of Cabool, Missouri.

Have you tried the Missouri death records site? It gives many of the actual death certificates for different counties in Missouri. It is very helpful.
Also have you read the census reports for that area for the years that your ancestor lived there. They give a great deal of information.
I have traced my family back for 11 generations, so I have been researching for many years, and like to help others.
Also you might write or call the local library for that area and see if they have obituaries. Our local library has a good collection. I went back through many of the old newspapers that were on microfilm and printed out many old obituaries for their genealogy department.
Good luck.

On a side note, I have lots of McGehees and Pennington's on my tree mostly in Texas county. Although I have an Elijah McGehee that died in 1868 in Lawrence county, Missouri. Probably related somehow. He married Sarah Pennington. They had 7 children: daughters Louisa, Lucinda, Elizabeth (married William Johnson), Nancy, Susan, and sons Asa and Carroll.

The 1920 Census shows a Sarah McGehee born in 1877. In 1920 she lived in Lawrence county, Missouri with her husband Eli and kids Maggie and Billy. Not sure if that's your Sarah and Eli or not. They're way too young to be my Sarah Pennington and Elijah McGehee.

Don't know if you had this from Find a Grave:

Hi,
I'm a descendent of Woodley's sister Matilda Johnson. I see you've already received lots of info from others. I'm happy to share what I have. Which of Woodley's children are you descended from?

One small point: Woodlief Thomas Johnson (along with many relatives) is buried in the Hamilton *family* cemetery, in Texas County. Nowhere near Hamilton County.
