	48th Annual Session of the Methodist Protestant Church held at Mt. Pisgah Church in Greene Cty, MO 1914 - Published in 1914 Author J. F. Howe Publisher Review Print in Windsor, MO City County Greene Missouri State Missouri Price $5.00 (plus $1.50 postage and handling) Notes: There is so little written about women ancestors. I recently bought a small booklet entitled "Minutes of 48th Annual Session of the Methodist Protestant Church" held at Mt. Pisgah Church in Greene County, MO, September 2-4, 1914. A lady named Ola Amos of Rogersville, MO was a representative on the Literature committee. Although the booklet has signs of age, wear, and a few pencil marks, it makes for interesting reading. I found a death certificate for Mary Leola Amos, who died of general sepsis from a cut on her thumb, on June 4, 1935. She was 65 years old. The death certificate gives her date of birth as 7 Sept 1870 in Webster County, MO. The informant was Mary Amos of Rogersville, MO. The undertaker was Kelley and Ferrell of Rogersville, MO. She was buried in Panther(?) Valley Cemetery. I am not related, but I would like to connect this booklet with a family member or family researcher. Please contact me if you have an interest in this booklet. Kathy Wieland in St. Louis, MO www.familywesearch.com Click here to inquire about purchasing this book.
