Notes for JO ANN WETZEL:
Aug 25, 2006 Today I spoke to JoAnn Cameron. She asked me more questions than I could ask her. She told me that the Wetzel children buried behind Sarah Ellen Brown Zelgar were her brother and sisters. That Cecil was the oldest of the family. That Neva and Eva were twins. That her mother was 15 yrs old when she married Hugh. She has pictures of her wedding.
Just a short note, Earl's parents are also buried in the Swars Prairie Baptist Church Cemetery, Newton Co., MO.
Told me all kinds of things about my mother, miss pris. Was amazed she had 5 children.


That just before Sarah Zelgar died, she gave her children cookies to eat and told them to go into the other room. She would join them again later....I cried.
