-------------------------------------------

Margaret had three children with Henry Mountjoy - Henry Leroy Mountjoy, Iona May Mountjoy is buried in Hope Cemetery, Arkansas City, Cowley County, Kansas - she married Franklin Powell Hadley, and Nettie Inez Mountjoy who married William V. Hall. If you recall talk of Grandma Emily and Grandpa James D. Atteberry raising a niece whose name was Macil Hall - she was a child of Nettie Inez Mountjoy and William V. Hall. Macil was born in 1901 and information states that Macil's mother Nettie Inez Mountjoy Hall died on April 11, 1902. There is a large headstone at the Forrest Hill Cemetery, in Sumner County, Kansas near Ashton and Walton that says Hall Children - it is quite grown over but can pull it back to read. There are Ballinger's there as well along with Houser's and Arnspigers and Elias and Kate Lorey (sister to Emily J. Atteberry). My Great Great Grandmother Lewis is also buried in that cemetery and there is a double stone for her and her husband Robert A. Lewis but Robert A. Lewis was killed in Virginia during the civil war battle of Kernstown and is doubtful that he is actually there but nice to have a place to place a flower now and again.

I hope this helps in some way and that I didn't muddy the waters too much. If you have questions feel free to e-mail me and I will try to clear up anything that I can ~~ Donna Kay
