Notes:
Ltr from Mrs. G. W. (Nellie) Shannon, Chillicothe, MO, 1958 "Mrs. Margaret Shipp Linton was born Dec. 24, 1862. Her parents, Obed and Martha Shipp, were born and reared near Fayette, Howard County, where they were married. They came to Livingston Co, before the Civil War in a covered wagon with an ox team. They settled on a farm 2 1/2 miles from Avalon where they reared 12 of 13 children. Mrs. Linton lived on the old farm place until she married Mr. Linton, Mar. 25, 1883. Lillie gave me this book only 3 or 4 years ago and just since I got your letter I found this article."
