| Information from Anne Carroll, Placentia, CA: Notes for LAVINA WASSON: Bible Record Information from family U.S. Census Cemetary Records, Cloud County, Kansas, Church of Saron Scandinavian Baptist Church Cemetary (2 miles NE and 1 mile E of Jamestown, Kansas) Lot #65, lot owner, L.W. Reid. (Lavina Reid written "Melvina" Reid on cemetery records). There is no cemetery stone erected there as of 11/96. (See Reid Document file for document showing location of the lot in the southwest corner of the cemetery and pictures of the Saron Scandinavian Baptist Church founded 1877.) Per Jeff (Jefferson) Reid, son of Rufus C. Reid, Grandson of Lafayette W. Reid and Gr. Grandson of James Reid, "When Lafayette W. Reid went to Kansas, he took his mother, Lavina along". Jeff took his dad, Rufus C. Reid to her grave near Jamestown, Kansas one time but could not remember exactly where it was. The church which houses the cemetery listed above where Lavina Reid is buried, was founded in 1877. Jeanne M. Chubbuck Rt. #3, Box 76, Concordia, KS 66901, of the Cloud Co. Genealogical Society with whom we have corresponded through the years, says that Saron Scandinavian Baptist Church was a Danish Baptist Church and wonders if the Wasson family could have been "of that group". Don Reid, who was the grandson of Lavina and James Reid and son of Rufus Corwin Reid told Annette Carroll in August of 1991 that Rufus, his father, said that Lavina (Wasson) Reid spoke German. Caroll Don Reid, son of the above Don Ried, lives in Kansas City, Mo. and has in his possession the rocking chair that belonged to Lavina (Wasson) Reid which was tied to the covered wagon when Lafayette, his family and mother, Lavina went to Kansas about 1878. Annette (Strange) Carroll visited with Caroll, his wife, Una Belle and his father Don in 1989, took a trip to Clyde, Kansas with Carrol and Don (and Judy Carroll, Annette's sister-in-law) and upon returning to Kansas City saw this rocking chair along with many other mementos belonging to the Reid family which Don keeps in his little museum in his home. | ||||||||||
