Question for list administrator:
I enjoy the list very much.
My question pertains to address shown when message is
received from the list:

When I receive messages from this list I sometimes do not open them since they
do not carry a list signature in the subject.
I fear they may be spam or worse yet virus.

Is there some way that this list can be identified as most other lists are?

I enjoyed reading about Madison TWP in Johnson County. My grandfather was associated with H.D. Smithson. His name was Milton T. Roberson. His bio was also listed in the original book. Here it is.
"Born near Danville, KY, enclisted in the 104th? ?4 Kentucky Infantry in August, 1861 at 15 years and 11 months, and erved until April 1865. Sole surviving charter member of a Masonic Lodge organized in Missouri in 1869. Sole surviving charter member of a camp of the Modern Woodmen of America organized in Anthony KS in 1891. He was made a Mason in 1866. He was reared in his native county of Boyle Co. Kentucky. Entered Cener College at age 14 and pursued studies until age 16, when he entered the army, enlisting in the 4th KY U. S. troops and served 21 months, and was afterward transferred to the quarter-master's dept., which position he held until the close of the war, after which he returned to his father's farm, where he remained until 1868, where he was married to Miss Mattie J. Bradshaw, daughter of Fredrick Bradshaw, Esq., of Kentucky. Mr. Roberson came to Missouri in 1869 and soon after located in Holden, where he accepted a clerkship with the firm of Morrison & Bro, holding this position for 10 years.

My grandmother Lena D. (Glasgow)Burr died April 30, 1941 in Warrensburg. She had two sons, name Ralph M. Burr and Kenneth L. Burr. Would you have any records if they went to school there in Warrensburg? Ralph enlisted in the Army in 1939 and Kenneth enlisted in the Navy in 1942. Lena is buried in Kansas City, Mo. with her sister & brother John Glasgow.

Can you tell me if there are any hisotric mills accessible to the general public (if on private property, even by appointment) in your county? If so, please send me the name, phone number, e-mail address (if there is one) of a contact for the mill(s).

Sincerely,
