Research Note: Darla's grandpa. - Darla's Note: Edward "Ned" Easley married Mary Elizabeth Russell a daughter of Milo and Nicey (Haddock) Russell. Edward's parents were Green Berry and Eveline (Johnson) Easley. Edward's brothers and sisters were: Christopher Columbus Easley, William Easley, Martin Vanburen Easley, Sarah J. Easley (Mrs. John Jackson Wallen, Jr.), John Easley, Green Berry Easley, Jr., Hulda Jane Easley (Mrs. James Madison Lee), Mary Elizabeth Easley (Mrs. William Alford Lewis), Robert Easley, Austen Lee Easley and C. Eveline Easley. - Uncle Ned Easley Dies Sunday Morning: Age 91 Years - Honorable Barry County Man born on Farm Near Home Where He Died - Uncle "Ned" Easley, one of the Barry County's oldest citizens passed away Sunday morning at 8 o'clock at his home on White River, near Eagle Rock, following an illness extending over the past few months. Ninety-one years and seven months ago, this excellent character was born on a farm on White river, a short distance from his home where he passed away. Ever since that time he has been a resident of this county, living in the same neighborhood where he was born. He had lived on his present farm since the year 1865. In that same year, Uncle Ned, as he was familiarly known, was united in marriage to Miss Mary Russell to which union 9 children were born. He was survived by Charles, Finis, Floid, Mrs. Henry Maloney (Molly), Mrs. William Tucker (Arizona), and Mrs. Same Skelton (Lona) all of whom reside in this county. Mrs. Easley's excellent wife preceded him in death 9 years ago, since which time his son, Floid, and family, have made their home with him on his farm at the mouth of Roaring River. - Grandfather Edward's older brother, Christopher Columbus Easley had died in a very cold and icy winter. When the family tried to get the horse drawn wagon up the hill to the Old Easley Cemetery where their parents, Green Berry and Eveline Johnson Easley were buried, they could hardly make it. Edward Easley lived across White River from the Old Easley Cemetery (also called Hickam/Hickum) and just crossing the river in the winter was difficult. Some say that as the wagon climbed the icy hill, the casket slide out. So after Grandfather Edward and family had such a difficult time burying Christopher, he made the comment, "As for me and mine, we'll be buried with the soldiers." On what was once his father's land and was later his brother's land, some Civil War Soldier had been buried. As the Civil War was between 1861 and 1865, the cemetery had been started in those years. It became the Easley Cemetery and is near Eagle Rock, Mo. We believe that the 7 fieldstones in line in the same row with Grandfather Edward, his son, Edd, and his wife Mary Russell Easley are those 7 soldiers. As Grandfather Edward was a Union Soldier himself, we are pretty sure these are Union Soldiers as he definitely wouldn't have wanted to be buried with Southern Soldiers. The reason I think this story is important that it gives us some idea of about when the Easley Cemetery was established and that the 7 graves are of union soldiers. | Online Obit Online Newspapers Family Note Darla Ball Marbut |
