BOX/WALKER/CARTER, Polk Co MO
Posted by: Donna Ketchum Bond Date: April 05, 2001 at 06:15:02
  of 2269

I am researching the following and am most interested in hearing from
anyone with more knowledge of the following:

Ara Belle Box, b 9 July 1874 Polk Co MO, d 3 Jan. 1960, Polk Co MO
(youngest child of Daniel R. Box and his 3rd wife Sarah Chesser Moore
Box) married 1 Sept. 1892, Polk Co., MO, to Weldon J. WALKER, b 10 Oct.
1868, d 15 June 1900, Polk Co MO.

Ara Belle and Weldon WALKER had three children:

Irma, b 1894, MO married Walter WAGGONER
Lena, b 1897, MO married Virgil THOMPSON
Richard, b 7 Aug. 1898, MO, d 9 Nov. 1961, did not marry

I have been unsuccessful in finding marriage record for the two
daughters and have not been able to locate their cemetery records.

After Weldon Walker died, Ara Belle married a second time, on 29 April,
1907, Polk Co., MO, to William Haines CARTER, b 28 Dec. 1873, Charity,
Dallas Co., MO, d 25 Aug 1947, Polk Co MO.

Ara Belle and William CARTER had four children:

Elbert, b 1908, d 1988, all Polk Co MO, did not marry
Floris Hazel, b 27 Dec. 1909, d 1989, all polk Co MO married Coy PIERCE
22 Nov 1931
William Eugene, b 17 July 1912, Polk Co MO married Mary Kathleen Hayden
-divorced
Velma, b 8 Feb 1916, Polk Co MO married Ray W. BROWN

I recently found Ara Belle and William CARTER in the 1910 MO Census
Soundex living in Polk Co., MO and discovered
that William CARTER probably had a previous marriage, as there are two
children listed, who were born before he married Ara Belle and their
last name is CARTER:

Edith, daughter, age 6, b MO
Eva, daughter, age 4, b MO
Also listed were their children Elbert and Floris as well as one of Ara
Belle's children by her first marriage, Irma.

I am MOST interested in anyone's knowledge of William Carter's first
marriage and of the children born of that union, as well as information
about the children from Ara Belle's first marriage.

Thanks,
Donna Bond
